But the one common theme among all of these people is what we call roll with the punches.

They took massive life hits and survived and rolled with the punches and pivoted and moved on whether it was a loss of a spouse or a loss of a child or a massive you know job change or whatever whatever it wasn't in many cases it was multiple times of these this This attribute, this ability to understand that life is 90% how you deal with it.

It's only 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you deal with circumstances. So there are a lot of aspects of life that require

flexibility and when we become rigid that's when we break. Thank you. From the Weston A Price Foundation, welcome to the Wise Traditions Podcast for Wise Traditions

in Food, Farming, and the healing arts.

We are your source for scientific knowledge and traditional wisdom to help you achieve optimal health. Hey, Hilda here. We can train our bodies to build strength and flexibility on the outside, and on the

inside. This is episode 287 and our guest today is Mark Sisson.

Mark is a New York Times best-selling author, a former endurance athlete, and the

founder of Primal Kitchen Foods. Today Mark breaks down what it takes to develop

flexibility on a number of levels. He discusses dietary metabolic flexibility, how to teach the body to source energy from stored

fat and liver-generated ketones instead of from carbohydrates. He describes how this

dietary shift can reduce hunger and burn more body fat while increasing energy.

And he also speaks about how flexibility can help us handle life's challenges today, kind of a mental flexibility that will help us shift from a victim mentality

to one that takes responsibility for our own health and happiness.
