MindPump exposes the RAW TRUTH about health, fitness, nutrition and more... Hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer & Justin Andrews pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health. No fitness institution or fitness "truth" is safe from their quick wit and over 40 years of combined experience in the fitness industry. Produced by Doug Egge.

What listeners will find here

7 simple holiday eating hacks that help you stay lean without skipping the fun
Holiday weight gain is the focus here, with seven practical eating habits aimed at helping you enjoy big meals without overdoing it. The episode keeps the advice simple, from meal timing and food order to walking after dinner and paying attention to satisfaction.
A 9-step plan for getting from lean to truly sub-10% body fat
This episode focuses on the exact strategy for dropping below 10% body fat as fast as possible. Sal and Adam lay out a 9-step approach built around a strict calorie deficit, carb cycling, more daily steps, lower lifting volume, better sleep, and using cardio only at the very end.
5 longevity levers that matter more than expensive biohacks
Longevity is the focus here, with Dr. Stephen Cabral unpacking five lifestyle factors linked to adding 12 years for men and 14 for women. The conversation moves from smoking, alcohol, body composition, exercise, and diet into GLP-1 concerns, key supplement studies, and arterial plaque research.
10 budget foods for fat loss and muscle gain, plus practical training Q&A
This episode focuses on affordable foods that support fat loss and muscle building, from eggs and ground beef to potatoes, tuna, and oatmeal. It also mixes in habit-change ideas, a parasite cleanse discussion, and listener questions on pull-ups, scoliosis, abs, and flexibility.
Why Pilates, Yoga, Running, and Swimming Fill Gaps Strength Training Leaves
Pilates, yoga, running, and swimming each cover something strength training doesn’t. This episode explains what each mode does best, then shifts into a mix of current-event chatter, sponsor talk, and live coaching for callers dealing with injury, endurance goals, and recovery.
