Episode notes
From 6–8k Calories To Better Baseline
- Chris ate massive calories in college to play football, sometimes 6–8k calories a day and shakes at night.
- After quitting that regimen he quickly lost weight and felt the day-to-day benefits of lower bodyweight.
Fitness Drives Office Performance
- Fitness impacts cognitive and job performance even for desk workers through sustained energy.
- Consistent baseline energy beats occasional performance peaks for professional reliability.
Measure What Matters Regularly
- Track key biomarkers regularly and keep a simple spreadsheet to spot trends and guide changes.
- Use targeted tests (genetics, vitamin levels) to personalize interventions rather than one-size-fits-all remedies.
