What comes to mind when you hear the word steroids? Illegal activities? Cheating? Scandals? Steroids have become synonymous with illicit undertakings.

In the intro of this episode we discuss what steroids are (touching on why they are important), examples of steroids made by the human body, and where they are made in the body. 

Afterwards, we shift our focus to anabolic steroids. How they assist to increase muscle mass and strength (getting into some biology here), and what are some side effects of their use.

The goal of this episode is to go beyond just the "steroids are bad" mentally without providing data. I give my opinion, but ultimately it's an individual's decision. 

Here's a couple of resources I used.
