Why Are So Many Fitness Industry Experts Fat, Sick & Unhealthy?

from Boundless Life · host Ben Greenfield

Gary Collins, pictured above, is a former FDA special agent. He was was born in Southern California, raised in the High Desert at the basin of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and has been involved in organized sports, nutrition and fitness for over 30 years. After a career in military intelligence, Gary worked for the U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Special Agent. His career took him around the world and gave him a unique perspective on not only how the United States, but the world is affected by our food, drug and healthcare policies. This took him from protecting some of the most powerful people in the world to investigations involving the biggest tainted pet food death case in the U.S. to the intricate dealings of one of the largest counterfeit prescription drug rings in the world. He has often said, “If American’s really knew what was going on in the area of healthcare and nutrition in this country, they would be appalled.” So basically, Gary is a hybrid of a seasoned health expert and an investigator rolled into one. In addition to his published articles and Primal Power Method Series, (his total lifestyle reboot), Gary is also a contributor to the Brink of Freedom online magazine, Paleo Magazine and The Primal Show.  You can check out all Gray's products and his Primal Power Method on Amazon by clicking here. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What it's like to be a special agent with access to the inner workings of the FDA... -Why Gary says "If American’s really knew what was going on in the area of healthcare and nutrition in this country, they would be appalled"... -Why the supplements you're buying may be counterfeit and may not even be made by the manufacturer you think it's made by... -Why so many so-called "experts" in the fitness industry are fat, sick or unhealthy or not practicing what they preach... -Why Gary doesn't track blood, biomarkers, saliva, etc... -And much more... Do you have questions, comments or feedback for Gary Collins, or your thoughts about why so many fitness industry experts are fat, sick or unhealthy?
