COMMENT ON DR. BERG’S CHANNEL (RESPECTFULLY) AND ASK HIM TO DEBATE ME
In this week’s What the Fitness, we discuss a recent video from Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor who has never met a topic that he wasn’t ready to give his uninformed opinion on. In this video he talks about ‘How to Grow Your Muscles.’ In it he makes various claims, the vast majority of which are unsupported by data. In the video I cite various references to debunk his claims that you can review below:
