Joe Holder is a nationally recognized master trainer and one of the most influential coaches in fitness and sports. He is the founder of the Ocho System, Plant-Based Gang, and Exercise Snacks. He's also a writer for GQ and a consultant for Nike, Hyperice, Dyson, and more.
What you'll learn from this episode:
What is the OCHO (One Can Help Others. Others Can Help One.) System?
How Joe's dad—a doctor—helped him recover from faulty nutritional advice perpetrated by his college's strength and conditioning coach.
What Joe's plant-leaning "flexitarian" nutritional regimen looks like these days, and where he primarily gets his protein.
How society could benefit from a nutritional and fitness safety net for underserved communities, what legislation with this goal in mind might look like, and how we, as individuals, can help.
How we might find exercise more palatable (and with greater effect) if we took it in small chunks that Joe calls "exercise snacks."
And so much more!
