We're calling today's episode Macros, Muscle, Manifestation, and MEDITATION, and how to add that in because we are having my all-time favorite meditation teacher, David Gandelman.   David is not only the shit at teaching meditation, but he's also the reason I discover manifestation a few years ago because it was his course on the Insight Timer App that helped me start manifesting my fitness goals.   David isn't just a meditation teacher but also a coach and author. He's the host of the Meditation School and Grounded Sleep Podcast, and his meditations have been streamed for over 30M minutes on Insight Timer; that's how good he is!    After receiving a degree in Philosophy and spending some time in the Himalayas and Hawai studying 10 years with yoga masters and meditation teachers, now he teaches his own unique style of energy awareness mindfulness, meditation, and he's known for his humorous and accessible approach.   This interview was such an honor, and David has a killer sense of humor.  Learn why everyone actually HAS time to meditate.
