The Jack Moses Podcast #33 - Jimmy Mackey - Metabolic Flexibility, The 4-Hour Work Day, and The Power of Introspection
Jimmy Mackey is an online fitness coach and writer on Twitter with over 50k followers.
He originally got into the health and fitness space after nearly losing his foot in an ATV accident and tearing his ACL in his youth.
He moved to Austin, Texas, at 21 to get into the health scene, and just two years later he’s built a successful online fitness business at only 23 years old.
In this episode, expect to learn about Jimmy’s backstory, restorative breathing, why stretching ISN’T the answer to your mobility problems, metabolic flexibility, carb timing around workouts, the benefits of working 4 hours a day, meditation, psychedelics, and much more.
