450: Rethinking Fitness with Mark Sisson


Listen Later

This episode is going to flip your fitness world upside down, or should we say, right side up! This week, Michelle sits down with the legendary Mark Sisson, the powerhouse behind the Primal and Paleo movement, to explore the magic of metabolic flexibility and minimalist fitness.

Mark, a former elite athlete, dishes out his wisdom on how walking, paired with a smart eating strategy, can be your ticket to lifelong health and wellness. We explore the world of ketogenic and low-carb diets, debunking myths and sharing insights on how to harness your body's natural fat-burning potential.

But that's not all — Mark also highlights how a balanced fitness routine can enhance longevity and prevent injuries. From barefoot walking to minimalist footwear, we explore the biomechanics of movement and why less is more when it comes to exercise.

If you're a fitness enthusiast or a curious couch potato, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you walk your way to a healthier, happier life.

In this episode, you will hear:
  • Emphasis on walking over running for sustainable health and weight loss.
  • Exploration of ketogenic and low-carb diets for metabolic health.
  • Critique of modern running and promotion of balanced fitness routines.
  • Benefits of barefoot walking and minimalist footwear for biomechanics.
  • Importance of strength training and agility for longevity and overall fitness.
