Metabolic Flexibility, Muscle Mass & Foot Biomechanics for Longevity with Mark Sisson

Mark Sisson is the mastermind behind Primal Kitchen, a name you
probably recognize from your fridge, and he's also the founder of
the Primal Health Coach Institute. With a New York Times
best-selling book, "The Keto Reset Diet," and the popular health
and fitness blog, Mark’s Daily Apple, he's been a leading figure
in the industry for over a decade.


In this episode, Mark and Dr. Stephanie dive deep into the
secrets of longevity and what it takes to live a long and healthy
life. Mark, who's 70 years old and looks phenomenal, shares
invaluable insights on the foods that impact our health span and
lifespan. We discuss foods to embrace and those to avoid, protein
intake, and his perspective on maintaining a strong body through
exercises, both low and high intensity. Mark's wisdom extends to
biomechanics, particularly the importance of proper foot
mechanics for activities like squats and walking, as well as
overall well-being. We also explore his innovative venture,
Peluva, a five-toed shoe that offers a fascinating perspective on
functional footwear. Go to https://peluva.com/DRSTEPHANIE to get
