231 - Does CrossFit and carnivore even work?

Send us Fan MailThe Fundamentals of a Healthy Life: Andy focuses on the five pillars of health and fitness: how you eat, sleep, move, think, and connect, with wealth as a possible sixth pillar. He believes that once you get movement, nutrition, and wealth under control, increasing connection is what brings everything together.CrossFit Effectiveness Guarantee: Andy offers a bold guarantee: if someone attends his gym four days a week for a year and follows his nutrition guidance, and doesn't get fitter, he'll refund 10x their money. He's never had to pay this out because the program consistently works when people follow it.The Power of Showing Up: The gym operates on two primary rules: 1) Show up, and 2) Don't do anything stupid today that prevents you from showing up tomorrow. Andy emphasizes that consistency is the most critical factor for success in fitness.Carnivore Diet Success: Andy has been following a carnivore diet for 15 months, eating primarily animal products (eggs, meat, and some cheese) with virtually no plant foods. He explains how this diet has worked well for him, providing enough energy for endurance events despite containing almost no carbohydrates.Proven Performance Results: Despite not specifically training for endurance events, Andy recently completed a 15K trail run, placing 27th overall and 6th in his age group, demonstrating that CrossFit training provides excellent general physical preparedness for various activities.Family Health Transformation: Andy shares how his son Evan, who had Crohn's disease and dropped from 170 to 117 pounds, has improved significantly on the carnivore/lion diet approach, now weighing 160 pounds and working out again instead of taking medications.Community Building Through Fitness: The gym hosts various events like the True Challenge competition, adventure races, and climbing outings to foster community and provide opportunities to use fitness in fun ways. Andy emphasizes that joining the gym means buying into a lifestyle and community, not just a workout program.On this podcast you will receive actionable tips on Building a Firm Foundation for Life in Fitness, Food, FinanceI believe in building a firm foundation for life through functional fitness, farm-fresh nutrition, and sound financial practices.
