Summary

Getting your diet and exercise routine dialed (Longcuts Part 1) is certainly an essential entry point to leading a long, healthy, happy life. But it’s only a portion of the big picture. Sleep is arguably more important than any other lifestyle practice, because if its compromised than other bets are off. In hectic, high-tech modern life, our stress management skills are in higher demand than any other time in the history of humanity. Finally, relationships are what make the world go round, but we often neglect them in favor of tangible objectives like filling plate with healthy food, filling logbook with impressive workouts, and filling bank account with money. If you are falling short in the areas of sleep, stress management and relationships, your keto goals are doomed. High stress lifestyle circumstances keep you in fight or flight mode, which equates with sugar cravings, carb dependency, and burnout. Let's take a step back from intense keto objectives for a moment and look at healthy lifestyle tips that can support your keto goals. This show will be syndicated on Brad's new podcast, called Get Over Yourself. Check the show out, as Brad covers topics relating to health, peak performance, personal growth, happiness, and longevity, with humor and a little spice!

0:00.0	Hi, it's Mark Sisson. Welcome to the Primal Blueprint Podcast. It's time for another show dedicated to the world of keto.
0:09.4	Check out KetorReset.com for details about my New York Times bestselling book and send your questions to info at ketoreset.com.
0:30.4	Hi, listeners, continuing the theme of the previous show, part one of long cuts to a longer life.
0:37.2	And yes, we're getting a little far away from ketogenic eating, which is the focus of the keto shows. But you know what? Living a keto-friendly
0:39.4	lifestyle entails that you get your sleep habits dialed in, that you have healthy, loving,
0:46.8	nurturing relationships rather than stressful ones, and that you manage stress of all forms effectively.
0:53.4	If you don't, as detailed in the keto reset
0:56.6	diet book, if you have a overly stressful lifestyle or don't sleep well, you will get pushed back
1:03.7	in the direction of carb dependency because you'll be overstimulating the fight or flight response
1:09.5	and this goes hand in hand with being a sugar burner.
1:13.1	So yes, it's important to absorb all that dietary information and nuance and details,
1:19.3	and now we will continue to expand our horizons after the previous show where we had
1:24.5	basic diet overview and then getting into some exercise tips that support
1:29.0	living that keto-friendly lifestyle. Okay, so here we go. Long cuts, part two. If we're talking about
1:36.9	sleep and lifestyle today, one thing that's become a huge concern of mine is taking control of this tech addiction. Oh my goodness, doing my podcast on
1:48.5	the Get Over Yourself podcast with Elisha Goldstein, the mindfulness expert, and him explaining to me
1:55.0	how when we do a conscious act over and over like reaching for our phone to see if we have any text
2:02.7	messages, what happens is it gets wired into habit, into unconscious habit. That's when it becomes
2:10.1	truly destructive and takes control over your life and harms your life rather than enhances
2:15.8	your life. It increases stress. It ruins your brain function. It promotes ADHD.
2:22.2	So first we got to talk about just taking control, man, using the off button, using disciplined, being proactive with your use of technology rather than reactive.
2:33.3	I have some short breather shows. That's the name of them
