To improve as an MMA fighter, Kyle Kingsbury turned to meditation and self-reflection, which helped to calm his mind and keep it quiet during fights. But he quickly realized that these tools were also helping him become a better person. Fast forward 10 years later and Kyle has moved on from being a professional athlete and works as the Director of Human Optimization at a popular supplement company. In this podcast episode, we chat about how Kyle still uses those tools to figure out what his next move in life is, why he experiments with nutrition -- including trying the carnivore diet for 17 days and taking part in an elimination challenge, his seasonal approach to carbs, and why he challenges things instead of just accepting them at face value. Kyle also dives into the life lessons that fighting taught him and why he doesn’t follow some of the traditional dieting advice. Check out the episode now to learn more!

Determined to prove he could, David changed his mindset and put in the hard work necessary to achieve that goal and so many more. And he continues to implement these same strategies -- which he shares in his latest book and this podcast episode -- to consistently improve his situation.

You may have heard of Diane Sanfilippo from one of her best selling books, Practical Paleo or The 21-Day Sugar Detox, but did you know she’s been using ketosis as a tool the entire time? Does that mean she’s switched from her paleo roots to full-time keto? As you’ll learn in this podcast episode, Diane’s approach is different. For one, it removes diet labels and encourages flexibility and finding the right diet to support your lifestyle at this stage in your life, even if this changes over time. She also uses a SAVVY way of eating and tracks her food in another more effective format instead of subtracting from an arbitrary budget of 1,200 calories per day. Diane shares her knowledge on these topics in an easy-to-digest format in this episode, where we also discuss why ketosis is not about fat loss and what else people get wrong about a keto diet. Check out the episode now to learn more about Diane’s concise approach and simple framework.
