In episode 87 Ste sits down with Joe Phair, known as the Modern Primal, as he shares his journey from a life of processed foods and military service to embracing a primal lifestyle focused on real food, endurance running, and overcoming adversity. In this conversation we discuss the importance of nutrition, the hybrid athlete movement, Joe's marathon experiences, how choosing adversity can lead to personal growth, overcoming childhood trauma and the importance of community, cooking and self belief. Expect to learn what the modern primal eats in a day to fuel intense training and stay lean and strong as a 6ft 6, 240lbs runner, what mastic gum is, his favorite supplements for performance and longevity, how he dealt with getting cheated on and how in hindsight he now see's his biggest struggles as his greatest gifts.
