Running Stronger: Training for Everyday Athletes

62 - How to Improve Your Diet: Nutrition Fundamentals


Listen Later

Food is complicated. It shouldn't be, but it can be difficult to navigate our modern food environment in a way that supports your goals.

This is the most comprehensive episode I've recorded on nutrition fundamentals. The information in this episode should help most people get most of the way to their goals - all without nonsense gimmicks like eating raw liver or giving up entire food groups.

If you've been struggling with nutrition, there are probably some answers in here.

Hope you get something out of it!
