Episode notes
From Fat, Directionless Twenties To Fit Forties
- Dan Go describes being a fat, lazy, directionless 20-something who binge drank and played video games.
- He contrasts that with his 40s: in the best shape of his life, working toward meaningful goals and creating content.
Body And Brain Are Deeply Linked
- Physical health directly shapes mental health, mood, energy, and cognition.
- Dan Go links exercise, sleep, and nutrient-dense food to better brain function and daily performance.
Prioritize Diet Over Extra Workouts
- Do not rely on exercise alone to lose fat; prioritize controlling what you eat.
- Focus on the 80/20 of diet because calories in are easier to manage than calories out.
