Part 131 - Cynthia Monteleone on How to Be Fast and Fit Over 40 on Steak

CM (Cynthia) Monteleone is a World Champion in the 400m, a mom of 3, and author and a Metabolic Analytics Practitioner. It was no coincidence that when Cynthia decided to become the best in the world, she chose Charles Poliquin to study under. Her mentor shared his knowledge and encouraged her to keep up the fire for learning and achieving. Cynthia gets tremendous results because of her passion: which is to help others thrive. MAM Maui Metabolics grew out of this mission to encourage others to become their own superhero warrior self.  When winning the gold, she ran faster at age 43 then she did as a Division I collegiate track athlete! She attributes this to learning how to alter epigenetics to favor delayed aging, healthy biomarkers and exceptional athletic performance. After listening to and consulting on hundreds of client cases, (everyone from Olympians to the neighbor next door)  she is adept at reading patterns and using her knowledge and experience to solve health and performance puzzles with easy protocols. She lives in Maui with her husband and 3 children.   GET THE MEAT! http://NosetoTail.org GET THE FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE! http://Sapien.org   SHOW NOTES [5:10] Her background and education.
