Summary

Are you hitting the gym daily but seeing zero change in the mirror? There’s a reason for that. In this episode, I sit down with Mark Sisson, Founder of Primal Kitchen & Peluva, to break down why running isn’t the fat-loss solution most people think it is. We talk about the concept of metabolic flexibility, and why walking is one of the most underrated tools for longevity, brain function, and creativity. We also share the benefits of walking, why doing less can often get you better results, and how walking is the best tool for ANY relationship.
