Back to EpisodesEpisode 213: Chris S. Cornell
Description
Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Chris S. Cornell's story begins at a turning point in his life. At the age of 51, he found himself at a weight of 278 pounds, facing the realization that his health was spiraling out of control. Years of consuming foods that undermined his well-being had taken their toll. Even simple tasks, like climbing a flight of stairs, left him gasping for air. It was at this critical moment that Chris decided to take action and find a solution that would change his life forever. In his search for answers, Chris discovered the transformative power of a low-carb lifestyle. Inspired by Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat," he experienced a lightbulb moment while reading about how carbohydrates produce different effects in the body compared to proteins or fats. This newfound understanding ignited a spark of confidence within Chris—a belief that this could finally be the last weight loss journey of his life.
In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Chris talk about…
- How Chris' personal health journey led him to low carb
- Chris' cancer diagnosis and how his dietary change aided his recovery
- Running, exercise, and nutrition
- The endurance athlete mentality
- Ultra-running and preparing for marathons
- Chris' recent dietary experiment with Joel Bikman's meal replacement shake, HLTH Code
- Why a 'weight loss at all costs' mentality is not necessarily healthy
- Chris' upcoming and current pursuits in the realm of nutrition and coaching
