Description
The human body is genetically designed to eat carbohydrates and other easy to access energy sources. But, it also has the option to run on a multitude of fuel sources and be metabolically flexible when food is not readily available. And in today’s world, access to food created to play on the body’s cravings is plentiful and many of us consistently eat too much. Drew’s guest, Mark Sisson, explains how we can break the carb hungry cycle to become metabolically flexible and feel good. Mark is a 66-year-old endurance athlete dynamo who changed his athletic performance by changing his diet. He is the author of Primal Blueprint and his latest book, Keto for Life which he discusses in this podcast. If you like the podcast subscribe & review it on iTunes | Stitcher.
