I find it to be so much fun speaking to the very people who were my teachers along the way when I was getting going in the health field.

Mark Sisson’s work at Mark’s Daily Apple was a place where I learned the foundation of the primal (or paleo) diet.

Each morning would eagerly await his newest blog post (he writes every single morning and still does!) so that I could devour it up.

For those that don’t know Mark Sisson is the author of such books as…

The Primal Blueprint 21-Day Total Body Transformation
The Primal Blueprint
The Primal Connection: Follow Your Genetic Blueprint to Health and Happiness

Having been a fan of Mark’s work for many years, we had a great time speaking with him in person. Do you follow any kind of paleo or primal diet?

I was 100% raw vegan for about 7 years and then finally started adding some animal products into my life.

Here are the main animal products I consume on a regular basis…

• Ghee
• Butter (grass fed and raw)
• I used to drink raw milk but no longer
• Deer Antler Extract
• Colostrum
• Whey protein powder
• Honey
• Fish
• Chicken
• Beef

In this show Mark Sisson talks with Kate and I about the benefits of intermittent fasting as well as what he has for breakfast on many days. I think you’ll be pretty shocked at what he consumes for breakfast.

We also talked about the health benefits of doing just the right amount of cardiovascular exercise and specific weight lifting strategies for building muscle for us “hardgainers”. I believe the term he used for us was ectomorphs.

Whenever I don’t want to go to the gym and lift weights I’m reminded of this quote…

We hope you enjoyed our interview with Mark Sisson as much as we did and if you did would you consider clicking “like” and “share” on this page to let your friends and family know about the work he is doing?

Kate and I would greatly appreciate that! 🙂

Guest Info:

I’m a former elite endurance athlete who has made health and fitness my life’s work. In my younger days, I was on the track toward medical school for a while (BA in Biology from Williams College), but I got detoured by a different track – literally – and a dream of making the US Olympic team for the marathon. As the decades passed, I realized that my calling was as an independent researcher, critical thinker, motivator, and communicator – to get people to take responsibility for their health and fitness (often in the face of flawed conventional wisdom that can lead even the best-intentioned astray), and to inspire people to be open-minded, passionate, and enthusiastic about leading a healthy, happy, fit, balanced, active lifestyle, with the least amount of pain, suffering and sacrifice possible.

Show Topic:

Paleo & Primal diets, running, weight lifting, exercise, fasting and fun!
