Rip sits down with longtime friend, former triathlon coach and Primal Kitchen founder, Mark Sisson, for a wide-ranging conversation about biohacking, longevity, chronic cardio, walking and foot health.
Rip and Mark go back more than three decades — and although their nutritional philosophies couldn't be much more different, Rip has always admired Mark's entrepreneurial spirit, curiosity and willingness to take risks.
In this episode, Mark explains:
- Why he calls biohacking “the day trading of health”
- Why he believes the basics should come before gadgets and supplements
- His problem with chronic cardio
- Why he favors lots of easy movement plus occasional high-intensity work
- How his own endurance career changed his thinking about exercise
- Why he now walks at least 45 minutes most days
- Why mobility matters so much for longevity
- Why he believes foot health has been largely ignored
- How Peluva grew out of his own search for better footwear
- Why maintaining strength, balance and movement matters more and more as we age
- What decades of entrepreneurship have taught him about taking risks
Two old-school triathletes. Two very different approaches to food. And plenty of common ground around one big idea: Keep moving for life.
