Description: Rip sits down with longtime friend, former triathlon coach and Primal Kitchen founder, Mark Sisson, for a wide-ranging conversation about biohacking, longevity, chronic cardio, walking and foot health.Rip and Mark go back more than three decades — and although their nutritional philosophies couldn't be much more different, Rip has always admired Mark's entrepreneurial spirit, curiosity and willingness to take risks.In this episode, Mark explains:- Why he calls biohacking “the day trading of health”- Why he believes the basics should come before gadgets and supplements- His problem with chronic cardio- Why he favors lots of easy movement plus occasional high-intensity work- How his own endurance career changed his thinking about exercise- Why he now walks at least 45 minutes most days- Why mobility matters so much for longevity- Why he believes foot health has been largely ignored- How Peluva grew out of his own search for better footwear- Why maintaining strength, balance and movement matters more and more as we age- What decades of entrepreneurship have taught him about taking risksTwo old-school triathletes. Two very different approaches to food. And plenty of common ground around one big idea: Keep moving for life.Learn More About our 2027 Live Plant Strong Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/Our new Meal Planner is LIVE: visit https://goplantstrong.com/ and use code podcast to receive an additional $10 off an annual subscription (It’s just $69/year!)
