Summary

Host Brad Kearns talks with Mark Sisson about the latest trends and breaking science in the world of health, fitness, and longevity. The discussion includes: evolved view of insulin resistance that emphasizes the damage to fat metabolism and metabolic function caused by industrial seed oils; striking a healthy balance between longevity and striving for the six-pack; de-emphasizing straight cardio for a broad-based workout protocol that emphasizes maintaining muscle mass and avoiding overtraining patterns; the psychological benefits of cold exposure that help you appreciate the present and live without judgment; and balancing a relaxed, gratitude-oriented mindset with pursuing peak performance in competitive business and life settings by picking your battles. This is a great show to find out what Mark’s been up to lately and how he has changed his perspective and approach in recent times with diet, fitness regimen, and mindset.

0:22.3	Mark Sisson back on the hot seat.
0:24.5	Usually we have a very tight agenda for our podcast.
0:28.9	We did a great one covering the book two meals a day.

0:52.6	Okay. Let's do it. I mean, all I got is opinions.
0:56.5	And the first one that comes to mind is this idea that the story of insulin resistance,
1:04.9	metabolic syndrome is not quite as simple as what we've been talking about for so long
1:09.7	that you eat too many carbs, you produce

1:31.9	glucagon, all these other contributory hormones fall into place if you can get insulin
1:37.9	under control. And recently, new information, new research shows that the inclusion of these potentially harmful
