Episode notes

Mark Sisson is an OG of the fitness industry. He’s one of the leading voices in the Paleo world and the founder of the primal movement. Mark believes we need to get back to the way we were intended to eat, exercise, and live.

His mission is to get people to take responsibility for their health and fitness (often in the face of flawed conventional wisdom that can lead even the best-intentioned astray), and to inspire people to be open-minded, passionate, and enthusiastic about leading a healthy, happy, fit, balanced, active lifestyle, with the least amount of pain, suffering and sacrifice possible.

Topics Discussed Include:

How Mark got started in fitness.
What is the Primal diet and lifestyle about?
Why are grains so unhealthy?
What causes inflammation in the body?
Why he’s not as opposed to legumes as most in the Paleo world.
The benefits of intermittent fasting for being lean and healthy.
How to improve your sleep so that you can do everything better.
The multiple benefits of a keto diet.
Who needs and benefits from higher carbs and who doesn’t?
Best ways to boost your immune system and avoid getting sick.
