In this powerful episode of The Life Possible Podcast, I sit down with the legendary Mark Sisson—a true pioneer in the world of ancestral health and performance. Mark is a New York Times bestselling author of groundbreaking books like The Primal Blueprint, Primal Endurance, and his latest release, Born to Walk. He’s also the founder of Primal Kitchen, the brand that brought clean, paleo- and keto-friendly condiments to the mainstream, and Peluva, a revolutionary minimalist shoe company designed to help us reconnect with natural movement.

We dive into some of the most misunderstood aspects of health and fitness today, including:

• Can you be fit but still unhealthy?
• How we’re genetically programmed to be strong, lean, and vibrant—with a built-in genetic expectation of movement
• The concept of metabolic flexibility—and why it should be the ultimate goal of your nutrition strategy
• The science behind the body’s preferred fuel source—and why it's not carbs!
• The best form of exercise to burn stored body fat
• How training at too high of a heart rate can actually sabotage your goals by burning muscle instead of fat

Mark shares his decades of experience and insight in a way that's both science-backed and easy to understand—making this a must-listen for anyone serious about reclaiming their health, improving performance, and living their life possible.

Ideal Protein Nation!!! It’s time to “Thrive - Not Just Survive in 2025!!” In our first episode of 2025, we travel back to Montana to join our friends from HIMpossible Life Changes, Coaches Kathy and Noelle as they introduce us to their very successful client Beth Cummings! Beth was one of their first IP clients back in 2023! Beth’s personal approach of “I’ll try it for a week” turned into “I’ve lost over 40 pounds!”

Join us as Beth shares her journey and the keys to her success, not just losing weight but maintaining that weight loss now for over a year! We talk about how “mistakes are merely opportunities to learn,” “food prep is your secret weapon for every phase from weight loss to maintenance,” and “Do Not Stumble Over Something That is Behind You!”

If you enjoyed Episode 73 of the show when Kathy and Noelle joined me for the first time, you know that we had a lot of laughs, puns, and fun during this episode!!!

Ideal Protein Nation…I am so excited for you to meet Tina Wells and her clinic owner/coach Pauline Johnson! Tina has not only been successful losing over 100 pounds with the Ideal Protein protocol in less than one year, but she has also managed to maintain her new healthy weight within a 7-pound fluctuation over the past 2 years!

Tina’s new life feels so amazing and “free” that she is not willing to give it up! Join us as she explains how limited and painful her life was before doing the Ideal Protein protocol as she was dealing with an inflammatory autoimmune disorder in addition to her significant weight problem. Celebrate with her as she explains how “Food no longer talks to me…I talk to it and tell it what to do for me!”

Her whole story of weight loss and maintenance can be summed up in one word…commitment. Many know the benefits of committing to weight loss, but few understand the amazing things possible when one commits to a Phase 3 maintenance lifestyle!

Join us and hear Tina’s personal commitment to her own “Life Possible” and you will be inspired to make this coming January “tune-up” the last time you ever need to “re-lose” more than 10 pounds!
