Protein, increasing bone mineral density, saturated fat and more reflections | Drew Harrisberg

Welcome back to The Proof, and welcome to episode 400, a milestone that I am still having trouble believing. I started this show back in 2018 in Venice, Los Angeles, where I am right now, thinking at the time that I was late on the podcast scene. In reality, it was still early days. And since then, the show has been listened to more than 50,000,000 times with over 17,000,000 views on YouTube since mid twenty twenty two. We're certainly not the biggest podcast in the world, but truth be told, I never imagined that I'd be able to platform legitimate scientists, people like my dad, and reach this many people. So it is a milestone. It is something that I am really proud of, and I'm incredibly grateful to all of you for being a key part of that journey. Today's conversation with Drew Harrisburg, one of my best friends in the entire world, was recorded just a week before the Bondi terrorist attack, an event that really deeply shook the community that I lived in for the better part of a decade and a place that I was staying in the days leading up to it. In fact, I'd been walking that bridge and through the park every day the week before the event unfolded. And this is an area where Drew trains often. Many of my friends train in this area. And so this whole tragedy has really rocked so many people that we love. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. I'm not here to make political statements, but I do want to just say this. I love my Jewish friends, and I love my Muslim friends. And I'm of the belief that kindhearted, good spirited humans, Muslims, Jewish, or other, deserve to feel safe. In the shadow of something so heartbreaking, talking about protein and performance can feel almost trivial. But this conversation that you're about to hear with Drew also touches on something far deeper, what really matters in life and how fragile and precious it all is. It feels like a fitting conversation for episode 400. Please enjoy. Thanks for coming back. Been a while. Yeah. It's good to be back. In fact, I dug through the archives. My first time on the show was episode 62. And we're at 400 now. Pretty crazy. I don't know how many there's been in between them, but it feels like a lot. Well, 338. Of me. Of me on this day. But, yes, you're very good at math. Yeah. We know You're a very popular you're a popular guest, and and people have been messaging me almost every week to get you back on for whatever reason. I don't know why, but I'll take it. Here we are. And we thought that we could essentially, unscripted, just go through reflections. So people people will be listening to this episode, I think, 2026. I think what will be instructive for the …
