#379: Protecting Your Health During Uncertain Times with Jonny Bowden


Listen Later

Known as “The Nutrition Myth Buster,” Jonny Bowden is one the world’s leading experts on nutrition.  He’s also a personal trainer and, now in his mid-70’s, he’s in better shape than a lot of men half his age.  

As Dean of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute he began questioning the conventional wisdom on low-fat diets.  This led him to author the best-selling book, The Great Cholesterol Myth.  He has also written several other incredible books such as The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, Living Low Carb, Smart Fat and The Most Effective Ways on Earth to Boost Your Energy.  

Back for his 3rd appearance on Renegade Radio, in this episode Jonny brings the fire like never before.  We discuss why the virus barely affected him and learn his biggest issue with the health advice we were given by the government.  We delve into the most effective ways you can become more resilient to the virus, the difference between healthy and unhealthy carbs and fats, tips for longevity and much more!
