I’m here with Dr. Chad Walding and we talk about collagen, the importance of protein consumption, and what he means by “staying on the path”. Dr. Walding is a doctor of physical therapy, a holistic health and fitness coach, a lifetime athlete himself, a speaker and the co-founder of NativePath. He’s committed to helping people transform their lives through eating, moving, thinking, and living. He also spent time with indigenous people in the Amazon to study ancestral and holistic health, and we talk about that a little bit as well.
We talk about problems with our forward-leaning society by how much we sit, the importance of getting enough protein and his guidelines for this, why he doesn’t suggest drinking liquid with your meals, why he agrees with me that there’s never a reason to consume processed vegetable oils, and how protein in the morning can really help with weight loss and lean muscle mass. We also spend some time talking about what makes collagen different and important and how to add it to your routine.
And much more!
