Mind Over Myth

General
2312 Hits

I had the honor of being asked to be a part of the Fall 2020 lecture series put on every year by the Texas Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine for students, faculty and practitioners. In this presentation I discuss the evidence-based process I developed over the years to help educate on health and fitness myths through fitnesspudding.com—to not be fooled by having a mind over myth.

Be sure to follow the Texas Chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (#tacsm). If you are a undergraduate or graduate student in Texas, I highly recommend you become a member. Also, visit ACSM.org for more information, and an incredible conference experience.
