(4:00) He also gathered seal poop for testing; incredibly, even in one of the most remote areas of the planet, microplastics were found in the poop. (5:00) His ancestral diet not only helped him lose weight but also boosted his energy despite his long kayaking trek. (7:00) They share the idea that exercise is not the driver of weight loss, but rather a healthy diet. (12:00) Mike's plan for his next Greenalnd adventure. (19:45) The modern diet, which includes processed and industrialized foods, has destroyed our microbiome. (24:00) Mike describes more of his upcoming experiment, including eating seal. Mike's philosophy is to "seize the day" and try new things. (45:00) Vinnie shares a story about a friend who prepped for a trans-Atlantic kayaking trip. (46:00) You can do a lot of prep online and by finding like-minded people who specialize in the event you'd like to host. (48:00) There is a process to trying these things; learn to embrace and enjoy it, too. (52:00) Get off the "comparison" treadmill; just do the challenge to satisfy yourself. (54:00) Vinnie shares his 12-hour walk experience, inspired by Colin O'Brady's story. (58:00) Time out in nature, "unplugged," brings a lot of clarity to one's mind. They discuss the type of kayak Mike used on his trip. (1:00:00) Mike gives more details about the plan for his upcoming dietary experiment.
