Art got up at 3am to record this pod with world-renowned wellness guru Robb Wolf, and we reckon it was well worth it! Robb’s a former biochemist, best selling author, film producer, and a health speaker for the likes of NASA, the US Marine Corps and the Naval Special Warfare.
This is all about different types of training and health techniques and it goes into LOADS of different areas. There are takeaways here for anyone, from elite tips to basic techniques for beginners.
We talk about…
Losing 10kgs filming a survival TV show, including eating mice and killing an elk
Longevity - why healthspan is something to focus on
Why health journeys start with learning to sleep well, and how focusing on sleeping better can guide training and good behaviour
How different foods impact people differently, and ways to see what’s best for you
Zone two cardio training for endurance - what it is, and how often you should be doing it
How to use Morpheus to guide the intensity of your exercise
One approach to training with a great return on investment
Dietary techniques that worsen health outcomes
The best mix of full body training with mobility, and how to combine them each week
How 10 days of bed rest deconditions the body the equivalent of 30 years of ageing - the implications for safe, injury-free training
The importance of physically challenging your body beyond just gardening or yoga
The benefits of sprinting, especially in short, 5 metre bursts
Fringe activities like hot/cold therapy, sun exposure, sauna
A crash course in ziva meditation, and why he’d choose it over strength training (sometimes)
His electrolyte company LMNT, which is one of the fastest growing health and wellness brands in the world
