Hunters are the biggest conservationists. 15:08 We need to eat the whole animal. 18:53 Pre-slaughter/life stress of animals affects us when we eat the meat. 22:42 Going Keto was life changing for Danny. 26:34 Danny wanted to learn more about keto applications for athletes and ended up cohosting a podcast. 27:16 There is no noticeable difference for people who train from 50 to 80% of VO2 max using carbs or fat for fuel once they are fat adapted. 27:55 Professional athletes find that performance is enhanced, not hindered by being fat adapted. 30:30 Technology is causing kids to not have real relationships. 35:43 Lifting heavy is important for hormones, bone strength and connective tissue. 36:30 The keto lifestyle is a person to person grassroots movement. 41:30 Danny daily incorporates injury prevention protocols/exercises. He habitually moves like an athlete at all times. 42:53 It makes sense to bring in carbs on competition day. If you are fat adapted, the carbs become a PED. 45:33 Carbs are used after workouts, on the occasions where Danny uses carbs. 51:32 The most important macro to track is protein. 52:25 If you are sedentary, eating a high fat version of the keto diet and your cells are replete with fat, you may develop insulin resistance. 53:26 Fasting glucose rose when Danny increased his protein intake. 55:05 Wait until your blood sugar is regulated before increasing with protein levels. 57:10 Satiety signals could include the stretch of the stomach, nutrient sensing, and hunger hormones. 58:37 Danny’s wife feels that best she has ever felt with a high meat diet with carbs cycled in around ovulation and menstruation. 01:02:36 Your strategies to maintain optimal fitness and health shift as you age and as you learn. Keep an open mind. 01:06:04 Danny’s lifetime exercise is the deadlift. You don’t need a spot and it provides a testosterone release and works much of your body, including grip strength. 01:06:59 Overhead press movement and the ability to pull yourself up is important due to our kyphotic lifestyles. 01:08:49 If you can do perfect squats and perfect pushups, you can load yourself.
