Mark Sisson is the New York Times bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet and Keto For Life, and founding father of the ancestral health movement. His blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and Primal Blueprint lifestyle program have paved the way for people to challenge conventional wisdom's diet and exercise principles and take personal responsibility for their health and well-being.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The keys to what Mark calls the fat-burning machinery, and ultimately the holy grail of metabolic health: metabolic flexibility.
The difference between fat oxidation and fat loss.
How to break the chains of carbohydrate dependency.
The simple but important mistakes keto novices often make (and what frustrates him about the keto community).
The truth about corn: is it to be avoided or loved?
And so much more!
