Good advice but if your body is plugged with Reverse T3 you will be frustrated. Many are low in Iron (e.g. viruses lower iron since they need it too) which causes Thyroid T4 to be converted to Reverse T3 instead of the energizer T3.
There is even a workout called "The Big 5 Workout" that is along the same lines but only takes 12 minutes per week in the gym. Each of the 5 exercises targets a "muscle group" and is done for 90-120 seconds very slowly until exhaustion (i.e. cannot move the weight anymore with max effort; why machines work better for this). The doctor who created it explains that a muscle takes 5-7 days to recover from a hard workout so if you go more often you tend to injure yourself. I can imagine in the hunter gatherer times tag teams that would rotate going out on hunts and such.
…everything in moderation.
Eat local when you can, and if you have played hard your whole life it isn't actually beneficial because old injuries do come back and reclaim their prey (trust me). Unless of course you were brought up to exercise but God forbid no real physical contact as that is just silly Buffy. Tennis and Golf is wonderful exercise, badminton anyone?
I like very much these sports too but when younger it was the traditional cheeper sports I played, the ones that were FREE in other words.
Everybody has a specific life and that is that. The exceptions are just that, and the norms are every day Folk like most of us every day Folks.
It is specific to each person, I totally agree, and is why anyone's opinion regarding my life and what I should do is taken with a grain of salt. Except for the value of exercise. Unless of course exercise is causing the pain and butt in the chair syndrome.
Protein burns and carbs lay as fat layers. Who don't understand this?
Again, they lived to what age in before Christ? Before the 1930's, and what now? It has always been about antibiotics and will remain about antibiotics.
OK, no help here then. I'll go back to my plan as I was cleared today to resume light work outs. I'll jump rope and walk.

Arthur, I combine Chaga, Reishi and Trametes Versicolor in water and simmer about 2 hours. I drink one cup a day for 2 -3 weeks stop a few weeks …so on and so forth. The chaga is also very good for the nervous system. I can feel it's effects on my sleep pattern. Nice deep calm sleep and I'm more focused during the day. All these mushrooms are highly effective against many cancers. In Japan, the Reishi mushroom is used in combo with chemotherapy treatment and its 35% of Japan's cancer treatment budget. These mushrooms are also anti inflamatory. For maximum potency Chaga should be made in a tincture. Alcohol extraction isolates the water-insoluble components, betulinic acid, betulin and the phytosterols. This extraction process is in general used as a second step after hot-water extraction, since ethanol alone will not break down chitin effectively - heat is essential.
Do not use these mushrooms in combo with antibiotics. Chaga shouldn't be consumed if you're using blood thinners.

I think it's important every one figure out for themselves what diet and excercise works for them, and acknowledge when something is not working. For me, while I eat high quality simple food and am fit enough to anything from shovel compost in my garden to run 100 mile trail races, I often don't get enough sleep. I'm learnng now I need to listen to my body when my endocrine system is getting run down and take a break.
"I need to listen to my body when my endocrine system is getting run down and take a break": This is why most elite athletes suffer "depression". It is really their endrocrine system crashing from stress. This stress can be pschological too (e.g. you are a teammate of Lance Armstrong). If you are burned out chronically get your Reverse T3 checked (Direct Labs is good as your regular Doc will think you are crazy).
As for physical activity I'm a sales rep in ceramic tile industry,so I get my daily excercise lugging around these sample boards around to my clients. I've always been active , gym a few years , kung fu chinese boxing 4-5 years and finally I've found the right excersise that's good for my body . Once a week ,a one and a half hour of Yin and Yang Yoga. It's good for ALL the muscles. You get to built muscle and stretch them too. The nervous system ( spinal cord, mind and breathe) gets the most benefit out of that pratice. This is what works for me and a heathly diet…all in moderation! You got to live too.

From a recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study:
Baby Boomers: Not the ‘Healthiest Generation’A good example of how prosperity doesn't simply come from having more options. You also need prudent societal values (like valuing health and community as much as money) as well as the individual discipline to make responsible choices (like moderating sweets, or persisting with an exercise regimen). Mark's Primal program is a good vehicle for strengthening the latter.In a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers found that a sample of the baby boom generation, the 78 million Americans who were born in the post-war birth explosion from 1946 to 1964, were less healthy than many of their parents. Never mind the fact that Baby boomers have been dubbed the Healthiest Generation, since they have the longest life expectancy of any previous generation, and that they were able to exploit advances in medical care and reap the benefits of public health campaigns highlighting the dangers of smoking and unhealthy diets. That moniker may simply no longer apply, since it turns out that they have higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol than members of the previous generation.
If I use the Share function below the podcast to publish a restricted article/podcast on Facebook, do my Facebook contacts need to be paid members in order to see the contents?
By the way, outstanding podcast. I loved all the "out of the box" thinking here, in a way very similar to how Chris and his contributors expose and elaborate their ideas.
Myst -Yes, if you share an enrolled member-only podcast (like the Off The Cuff series), your friends will need to also be enrolled members in order to access it.
But all of our Featured Voices podcasts, such as this one with Mark Sisson, are available to all. So share freely!

This thread has been that good that I have bookmarked it for future reference.
Dropping all Carbs works for me. Chronic inflamation and leasions heal. Now I eye Alexander the Grape with suspicion.
Thanks all.

I appreciate the advice and words of wisdom. I am lucky that my situation isn't worse and I'm grateful for my wife putting me on a healthy diet a long time ago filled with local farm goods. My daughter has benefitted from her prowess as well since she has never seen the inside of a fast-food restaurant…she prefers salad to pizza (nice!).
Yes, why not start a fungi thread? Let's make it a fungus thread to be all inclusive. Wouldn't want to leave the fungal out. Okay, I know…don't quit my day job.
This very old talk that he gave sounds like what people should be told today:
Jack Lalanne - Body and Mind Connection
Here he was at 80:
JACK LaLANNE - DATELINE USA 1994
One of my heroes. He was way ahead of his time. Thanks for recognizing him.
