55. Overcoming Adversity: Interview with Joshua Perry

On this episode of the Knowledge and Mileage podcast, we chat with former professional BMX athlete, motivational speaker, and certified holistic health coach Josh Perry. He got his first BMX bike at 14 years old and at 17 he turned pro. He's been on a wild ride ever since! His passion and motivation for living his best life stems from the discovery of a genetic predisposition to accumulating tumors - a realization that sparked his investigative journey into researching the health, performance, and longevity of the human brain. As a result, Josh follows a ketogenic diet - and since adopting this lifestyle paradigm, the growth of his tumors have ceased and he feels better and more fulfilled than ever before! Tune in to hear Josh's strategies on overcoming adversity and how facing his fears set him up for success.
