Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the fat burning man show where we talk about real food, real results, and sometimes how not to die.

So how are you doing out there? Pretty rough, right? Feeling a little stressed? I know I am.

But it's important to know, especially during times like these, that at our best, we can use this stress and put it to good use instead of letting it completely destroy us.

And a long range of studies, unfortunately, have shown that chronic stress caused by things like social isolation, long term unemployment, untreated depression, and more can actually shorten your DNA telomeres, which in turn can speed up the aging process and then just wreak havoc on your health in a myriad of ways.

So how can we be proactive and slow or reverse the signs of aging? Well, to help us out, I figure we might as well invite one of our friends in a modern day superhero in his own way.

Mr. Brad Kerns, Brad of course is our friend and a New York Times best sailing author, host of the Get Over Yourself podcast and a top ranked professional triathlete who get this broke a Guinness world record in speed golf.

On today's show, we're discussing why it's important to maintain passion, the benefits of micro workouts. I'm a big fan. How to support hormone function as we age, why we should be eating nose to tail, especially you carnivores out there, and you keto folks, nose to tail. Remember, and tons more. But before we get there, here's a note that recently came in from Diana. She says, I wanted to say thank you so much for these amazing free resources.

My husband and I have been following you since my diet is better than yours. We really appreciate all the great interviews you have done. We've watched just about every single one and they have changed our lives so very much.

We appreciate how genuine you are and how much you truly care about the people you are helping. Thank you able for offering so many free resources. I know you're making an enormous difference in the lives of so many people.

I'm just starting my health coaching business and I always recommend your book to all of my clients. Please keep up the good work. Diana, you know how to make me smile. This is lovely. It was wonderful to read your notes. So thank you for for getting in touch and sending it in. You know, since I started this, and many people don't know that I was sick and unhealthy. And that was really the catalyst hitting rock bottom when I lost everything in apartment fire almost literally.

Yeah, this weekend 11 years ago this week and 11 years ago lost everything in apartment fire lost my health actually got H1 and one swine flu was never tested for it was hard to get tested as well back then. But anyway, hit rock bottom went through some really rough times and then decided to turn my health around not by following my doctor's advice, which is what I was already doing.

But by doing the opposite of what my doctor told me and that's when I really healed. So for those of you out there who kind of get some of the free resources and then join our more premium coaching communities and start buying the books and all of that, that keeps all of this going. And you are the reason that we're doing all this because when I was out there reading the running magazines listening to my doctor, it made me fat and sick. And you know, they put me on a half dozen different expensive prescription medication.

So this really is a lifestyle and real food once you once you embrace it, there is no turning back.
