I am a Family Medicine physician and board certified in obesity medicine. I have learned so much from this podcast that has supported my practice in weight management. Dr. Layne helped me change my mind on artificial sweeteners and ultra processed foods (which I did not think was possible). I was looking for a podcast that covered wellness and healthy lifestyle and this is it. I can’t wait for Dr. Layne’s book! Thank you for this evidence based content.
Dr. Lisa Netkowicz · Aug 2026
Layne does a GREAT job sorting through all the scientific literature & delivering actionable, practical insights & takeaways. Love both the solo & interview episodes.
A must for any serious health and fitness professional!
BornToTrain · Jun 2026
I have been following Lane for a couple years, and recently completed his level. One certification is clean health nutritional coaching. The amount of knowledge he has and shares is so useful and applicable to any coach.
Munch814 · Jun 2026
In your face reviews, with literature to back it up. Quippy and blunt, but true. Layne has a knack for making his style work without deep offense (if you actually listen to the whole content vs cherry picking).
Zachary Carson · May 2026
Layne Norton is clearly a really smart and dedicated professional who has been great on other podcasts. Also seems like a really nice guy. The problem is, his podcast description says it’s meant to simplify confusing information so people can take control of their health. Unfortunately, his long-winded and overly technical/scientific content leaves me fast forwarding and zoning out, with little comprehension of actionable steps I can take to improve my nutrition and strength. I’m a 45 year old woman who doesn’t have a phd and isn’t a body builder, so perhaps I’m just not Layne’s intended audience.
