Episode notes

(Breather) Enjoy some really thoughtful questions from listeners on an incredible variety of topics relating to healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle.

In this breather show, you’ll hear a little bit of my amateur attempt at an Irish accent (by request!) before I dive into some great questions from listeners. I touch on the importance of being strategic when it comes to whom you try to help/convince with lifestyle changes (wait till they are “ready to receive,” says Mia Moore) and the benefits of being reasonable, open-minded, and avoiding the all too common polarization that’s so common today in so many areas of society, including health advice. I also offer a sneak preview of my new triathlon training book called How To Improve Your *Triathlon Time: A Healthy, Balanced Approach to an Obsessive Sport, and share my thoughts on the best ways to experiment with strict carnivore if you are already a high calorie burning endurance athlete. I also talk about the powerful effects of nose breathing and why you should be doing it throughout the day, as well as the importance of taking some deep, diaphragmatic breaths to engage your lower abdomen.

That’s all for today, and thanks to everyone who sent in questions! If you’d like to submit a question to be answered in an upcoming show, shoot me an email!
