Hey everyone,
We are back at it again with episode 008 of the Stretch Four podcast, on this week’s show, I interviewed a good friend who I have known since college. Vidal Nelson, also known as Phewchi on Instagram and to his inner circle is a lifestyle health and wellness expert and influencer.
We discussed his takes on nutrition including his five-year journey with intermittent fasting, his fitness regimen, and his wellness hacks on being and even being in better shape than he ever was as a division college football player at James Madison University. Vidal is a high performer and I felt he was a great guest on the show who I plan to invite back as a regular.
