The Outlier Health Podcast

We live in a world that likes convenience. If we can hack together a plan that takes half as long, even if it doesn't produce the same results, that's often considered a win. But what about when it comes to your health? Who wins in a convenience vs. quality debate?

Seemingly overnight, plant-based meats are showing up in restaurants everywhere. From your local burger joint serving the Beyond Burger, to Burger King now carrying an Impossible Whopper nationwide. So we've got to ask, is this a good or bad thing for the vegan movement?

The garden is popping, festivals are frequent, and even Matt can be seen floating down the river. It's officially summer. In today's episode, we share the motivation behind Matt's new running routine, plus challenge each other and you to a new Summer Motivation Challenge.

Robbie Balenger just ran across America in 75 days... and he did it on a 100% plant-based diet, getting the majority of his calories from smoothies. In today's episode, we sit down with Robbie to talk about the logistics of such a challenge, along with the highs, lows, and life lessons that came with it.

We've talked a lot about how to train for your first 50K ultramarathon, but what about jumping from the 50K to the 100 mile distance? Unsurprisingly, there's a lot to learn when going from 31 miles to triple digits. In today's episode, Doug shares the important long run, training, nutrition, and technique strategies to make sure you avoid unnecessary issues come race day. If you're thinking about running a 100-mile ultramarathon, start here.

We all want to raise healthy, active children, and sometimes, that can feel really difficult. While they both still have a lot to learn, here are Matt and Doug's strategies for getting their three kids (collectively) to eat a plant-based diet, stay active, and develop a healthy mindset.

It's Q&A time! This time we opened questions up to our Instagram followers, and they didn't hold back.

We talk a lot about how fitness and nutrition can make you healthier and live longer, but what about other habits that do the same thing? In today's episode, Matt and I talk about our 10 favorite non-fitness, non-nutrition habits that will make you healthier and happier, and potentially change your life.

While the potential benefits from a massive health or nutrition shift is huge, it takes a lot of effort and willpower to be successful. That's why in today's episode we're focused on small nutrition changes. Changes that should feel nearly effortless, but still pack enough health benefit to make them worthwhile.

This week we're celebrating 10 years of No Meat Athlete by looking back at the history of this podcast, and sharing updates on five of the most popular episodes. Join us for a hilarious trip down memory lane.
