| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:09.9 | Thank you for joining me for this episode of the HPO podcast. |
| 0:13.9 | Today I am joined by Chris Cornell. |
| 0:16.8 | Chris was a blast to chat with. |
| 0:18.2 | I have been following him on Twitter for a while because he caught my eye with his disciplined approach to reclaiming his own health. |
| 0:25.1 | Chris was able to drop 80 pounds through finding a low carbohydrate nutrition strategy that was easy for him to stick to and enjoy. |
| 0:34.1 | He has also used a variety of fitness strategies along the way, including strength work, and most |
| 0:39.6 | recently taking on a five-kilometer training program that he has been working on with the |
| 0:45.2 | help of former HBO guest Brady Homer. I think you might be surprised how much progress |
| 0:51.1 | Chris has been able to make over the past few weeks with a relatively |

| 1:23.3 | which had him doing 1,000 pull-ups, 2,000 push-ups, and 3,000 squats all while wearing a 20-pound |
| 1:31.3 | vest. Also, Brody Sharp returns to chat about injury, prevention, and rehab, and then another |
| 1:38.8 | return guest, Mike McKnight. But this time, as the final guest for my series, The Dietitian's Dilemma that |
| 1:46.8 | Michelle Hearn has been guest hosting with me. So we sit down with Mike and chat about his approach |
| 1:54.1 | to nutrition, which I would call a very low carbohydrate approach and his most recent win at a 200 mile ultramarathon. So keep an |
| 2:05.6 | eye out for those. Or if you want to check them out early, the $3 per month Patreon tier also |
