#63: Part 2 - How A 50-Year-Old Is Using A Zero-Carb Diet To Break Two World Records On The Same Day

Shawn Baker MD (@SBakerMD and Insta:shawnbaker1967) is a board certified orthopedic surgeon, multi-sport world record holding Masters 50+ Athlete, and Zero-Carber (he basically just eats red meat). After much demand from his following and you guys, Shawn was kind enough to give me 2-hours to dig deep on exercise, health, nutrition, etc. We answer your questions and more in this epic and detailed discussion. For a more extensive biography and list of achievements, please see Part 1. I recommend you listen to Part 1 first for more context.

In this episode, we cover:

• The definition of health
• The downsides of prolonged sitting
• We dig into diet:
  • Grain-fed vs grass-fed meat
  • How to eat on the road
  • How long it takes to adapt to ZC
  • Shawn’s drinks of choice
  • Eating a ZC to reduce decision fatigue, and how to pick foods in the supermarket without driving yourself mad looking for the perfect food whilst trying to stay within budget.
  • How to deal with social situations.
  • His protein intake and thoughts on general protein consumption recommendations
• N=1, experimentation
• Thoughts on electromagnetic fields, cold showers, body wash and other environmental stressors
• And much more (I am scratching the surface - this is packed so get your notepad!)
