Welcome back to The Tactical Kitchen Show friends! We get this question so often when someone talks to us about how we eat..."What alcohol do you drink?" If you've been around here for a while you likely know our answer to this one.

We are sharing some of our personal experiences on this episode about how we approach this topic and how we feel about the consumption of alcohol when it pertains to a healthy lifestyle.

We appreciate you hanging out with us and chewing the fat!

First let me apologize to Sue for introducing her as a Power Lifter during the recording of this episode. If you're not a weightlifter this may not mean anything to you. But, if you're a competitive Olympic Weightlifter crushing records you will likely want the hosts to get your title correct!

Sue Spencer is a 65 year old competitive Olympic Weightlifter. After losing almost 100 pounds utilizing a Ketogenic Diet and realizing the strength she had, she began experimenting with Olympic Weightlifting!

This became her passion. In 2017 she competed at the World Masters Games in New Zealand and brought home a Gold Medal for her age and weight category.

She has since competed in the 2019 Pan American Masters Weightlifting Competition held in Florida in the W65-69 age class where she broke the existing records for her age and weight class.

Sue is also founder of Lift You Up Coaching where she helps women discover that they are not too old and it is not too late to shift their emotional and physical health.

She is proof that it is never too late! You'll discover in this episode how a year of saying yes led to her career in Fitness and Olympic Weightlifting.

Come join us in our conversation with a super inspirational woman who is addressed by strangers in her city of Vancouver as Beast Mode Grandma!

To follow Sue's journey, and we highly recommend that you do, check out her Instagram page here!

Until next time...

It's hot! It's humid! We are talking about sweat and electrolyte loss today!

If you live in an area where you are experiencing hot and humid temperatures and you're eating a ketogenic or a carnivore diet and you workout...then this is the most important supplement you need.

It's so simple it's almost ridiculous. But we have been warned about over consumption of this supplement for so long that you may be afraid to take too much of it.

Let's chat about keeping our electrolytes balanced and why we even need to worry about it!

Check out our Instagram Stories to stay up to date with our ridiculous shenanigans!

If you want to join us on our TK 30 Day Carnivore Challenge head over to Facebook and request to join. We also have an E-Book The Tk 30 Day Carnivore Guide--but purchase isn't necessary to join in on our fun and games.

Next week we have a very special guest! Sue Spencer aka Beast Mode Grandma!

Tune in to NBC tonight to see if we can catch a glimpse of Dave Hippensteel on American Ninja Warrior!

We just rolled in from Austin! But before we start unpacking our stuff or workout, we want to unpack a little information for you guys!

There was a LOT going on at KetoCon and this was our very first time to go. We plan to make it a yearly habit. This community is so special and amazing.

You can only imagine what happens when you get a huge group of people together who are firing on all cylinders because they're eating a nutrient dense, species appropriate, fat fueled, real food diet! What an incredible weekend with massive crowd of happy and energetic people.

Now come on...Let's Go Chew the Fat!

We hear this one all the time..."Well, you won't know if you're healthy unless you have had bloodwork done!"

Is bloodwork the ONLY way to know if your current diet is working for you?

Meh...we are going to say a big NO to that one.

We think bloodwork has it's place for sure. We get our bloodwork done yearly. But perhaps some of the tests you want or think you may need aren't covered by your insurance. Or maybe you don't have health insurance and you just need to feel a bit of reassurance that you're on the right track. We are chatting about some of the indicators we use to monitor our health and wellbeing daily and monthly. It's not hard. Your body does a fantastic job of telling you what bloodwork often cannot.

Just a heads up for you guys: We are talking about a few "Adult" topics in this episode. There is some discussion about sexual function and the role it plays as a health and wellbeing indicator. You have been warned! ;)

So come on...let's go chew the fat!
