In this episode of Prevention Over Prescription, Dr. K shares highlights from his conversation with Casey Ruff on Boundless Body Radio, where they discuss practical strategies for improving health through lifestyle change. Dr. K explains why adequate protein intake—around 0.7 to 1 gram per ideal body weight—is key for maintaining muscle and metabolic health, along with the benefits of strength training and increasing daily step count. They also explore the role of carbohydrates for performance, the challenges of intermittent fasting, and why real-life social connection is an often-overlooked pillar of health.
