Hello Beautiful People!CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEWork With Me - Mindset Coaching| https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH ZACHInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/zachbitterOn today's podcast we have Zach Bitter. Zach is an ultramarathon athlete, coach and host of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. He has broken both the World and American Records in running 100 miles, that's 160km, in 11 hours, 19 minutes and 13 seconds! What I love about this conversation is the difference between Zach and I, and how much I learned from him. As many of you know, I absolutely love endurance running. I love it for the experience, the adventure, the uncertainty and the unknown. And yes, Zach certainly runs for the experience, but to be a world record holder in running 100 miles on the track, it is necessary to remove as much as you can in relation to this uncertainty and the unknown. There is a lot of great advice right down to specificity in the conversation that will help with increasing your performance, and there is a lot we can learn from Zach in terms of commitment. It took Zach 6 years of dedication to achieve the world record, and we go deep on what supported him in staying on the path of greatness during those years. Please enjoy this conversation with Zach.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Zach Bitter is a returning guest on our show! Be sure to check out his first appearance on episode 87 of Boundless Body Radio! Zach Bitter is an American ultramarathon runner, and performance coach for endurance athletes. He held world records for the 100-mile run and the 12-hour run. Bitter claimed both records with his performance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 24, 2019. After claiming the 100-mile record, Bitter continued running for another 40 minutes and upped his own 12-hour distance world record to 104.8 miles, an improvement of more than three miles over the previous mark. Over the last several years, Zach has been following a largely ketogenic approach and using nutrient-dense carbohydrates strategically to support periods of heavy training and racing. In particular, he uses a ketogenic eating strategy to support improved recovery after hard workouts and races, as well as to maintain his tremendous fat-burning ability. Zach is also the host of the massively successful podcast, Human Performers Outliers, and I listen to every episode.

Author of "The Carnivore Diet" Dr Baker is someone that most people in the Carnivore and Low Carb space know about, and is one of the main factors in popularizing this way of eating world-wide. Many people, including myself, were inspired by his Joe Rogan interview in circa 2017. I first met Dr Baker on his original podcast, Human Performance Outliers with Zach Bitter in 2018 where I tried to add my take on why this really was the optimal human diet, and not only that, but that eating plants caused direct harm as they use poisons to defend themselves from being eaten. In this interview, we talk about Dr Baker's company Revero Health and their long term goals for the future, along with diet and workout advice, as well as his impressive rugby career. Check this out and check out our other interviews together going back to 2018! Links below. Dr. Shawn Baker MD is an orthopedic surgeon, international speaker, best-selling author, and world champion athlete. He is a leading authority on nutritional therapy and raising awareness about how it affects chronic diseases, and the CMO of Revero. Revero is a community platform helping people implement a carnivore based elimination diet. We provide coaching, online group meetings, VIP forum, and the largest library of recipes, research articles, and success stories.

This is something I've spoken about going back to my very first interview with Dr Shawn Baker on episode 34 of his original podcast, Human Performance Outliers, back in August 2018, and in many more since then. However this is an entire episode dedicated to the many different chemical deterrents that plants use to stop animals, including us, from eating them.

On Saturday, August 25th, 2019, Zach set a new world record for the fastest time that a human being has run 100 miles. He did it on a track in Wisconsin in 11:19:13. And once he hit the 100-mile mark, Zach preceded to just keep on running, and he then set another world record: longest distance run in 12 hours (he went 104.8 miles). These are two mind-blowing feats, and you can listen to our conversation with Zach about this on episode 15 of Off The Couch.Fast forward to May 16, 2020, and Zach just set another 100-mile world record: fastest 100 miles ever run on a treadmill. So we spoke to the 34 year old runner just a couple days after his most recent feat to discuss when he first got the idea to attempt this; the biggest differences between running 100 miles on a treadmill vs a track; and his preparation, strategy, and goals for this event.We also have a great discussion about Mike McKnight’s Zero-Calorie 100.And if you’d like to hear more of Zach talking about issues related to peak performance, you should check out his own podcast, Human Performance Outliers.TOPICS & TIMES:When did you first get this idea?

Zach Bitter recently set the new 100-mile (161km) running World Record in 11 hours and 19 minutes. He averaged 6:48 min / mile = 4:13 min / km and beat the previous world record by 9 minutes! That's about four sub 3 hour marathons in a row!! ⁣He then continued running another 4.88 miles to run the 12 hours World Record as well.    In the past 10 years he ran more than 50,000 miles = 80,467km. Using performance as his compass, he learned a lot over the years of what works well for him.    He is an absolute fat burning machine and I was thrilled to interview Zach for The Extramilest Show. We take a deep dive into heart rate training, nutrition, mindsets and much more.    ---    Find out more about Zach Bitter here:  Website Strava Instagram Twitter YouTube Podcast Products / videos / people mentioned Altra running shoes Altra Solstice for race Altra Superior for trails COROS APEX watch X-endurance Fuel-5 Unicity unimate (an instant Yerba Mate tea blend) Jim Walmsley Jared Hazen Video 100 Mile & 12 Hour World Record - Pettit Center Olympic Training Facility Show notes: Brief background as a runner [3:42] His first ultra running experience [7:02] How Zach first got into HR training and how he integrates it in his training [9:22] How to figure out your correct heart rate training zone, more specific than the 180 formula alone.  [11:02] How Zach trains for his different races [16:07] Zach’s preparing specifically for this World Record run [21:22] Importance of positive mindsets during races [26:22] Looking at HR vs looking at pace [27:32] How does Zach overcome though spots in training and racing [29:22] Benefit of Zach training in a lot of heat in Arizona [35:22] His race hydration and nutritional approach on race day [36:52] Running 4 sub 3 hour marathons back to back [41:22] Zach’s approach with high fat, low carb, ketosis and carb intake [42:22] How do you find the minimum dose of carbs to perform well?

Alright everyone, welcome to our new show! I’m Brian Sanders and we’re shooting this live on video from Evolve Healthcare AKA Sapien Medical Headquarters AKA Dr. Gary’s medical clinic in Los Angeles. Please also check out the video version of this in the Food Lies youtube channel. If you’ve arrived here from the Peak Human podcast you’ll know of Dr. Gary Shlifer from the recent episode number 48. He was a smash hit and I got tons of great feedback from listeners. Luckily I already have been recording this new show with him as a co-host.  We’re here today with myself, Dr. Gary, and Kristi Storoschuk who’s also a member of the Sapien team. You may know Kristi from the Food Lies Instagram or Shawn Baker’s Human Performance Outliers podcast. She’s our main writer and helper in all things and she also works with Dr. Dom D’Agostino. If you didn’t catch the episode with Dr. Gary he’s an internal medicine specialist and a co-founder of Sapien.org with myself and Yaniv Fituci. Yaniv is a Hollywood producer (you could say) and is producing the Food Lies film with me. He’ll be joining us in the next episode and as a co-host off and on.  In this episode we talk about a bunch of things that will help people get going with their health journey and simplify a lot of the conflicting info that’s out there. Nutrition is this crazy topic that’s so charged with ideals and personal beliefs and all kinds of conflicting interests like big food companies that have your money in mind, not your health, a bunch of misleading science that’s been done over the last say 60 years, and a whole lot more. It’s no wonder people are so confused about what’s healthy these days and western societies have an insane rate of obesity and chronic disease.  The purpose of this podcast series is to demystify this - give info to people in a simple way that they can incorporate into their life. We’re going to go beyond nutrition into all things that make for a healthy lifestyle including mind, body, and spirit. There’s so much to health beyond what you eat. We’ll get into the Sapien Diet and Sapien Lifestyle a lot. The Sapien Lifestyle is what happens when you put all these things together. It’s how humans can live optimally using ancestral principles and modern science. For more info on Sapien, specifically what foods to eat, and more on what we’re doing, go to sapien.org Thanks everyone, please enjoy the show!   THIS SHOW IS MADES POSSIBLE BY THE COMMUNITY Please support our projects here: Grass finished meat delivered http://NoseToTail.org Preorder the Food Lies film http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Support us on Patreon http://patreon.com/peakhuman   Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Sapien Movement: http://SapienMovement.com   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg   Theme music by https://kylewardmusic.com/      

Today we have a double header with 2 great figures as well as athletes in the low carb community. Zach Bitter is the 100 mile American record holder and 12 hour world record holder for ultramarathons. He hosts the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker and has learned many lessons from amazing people along the way. He has wealth of knowledge of fat adapted athletics and fueling himself with meat while healing his body. But first we have Dr. Mark Cucuzzella who is a Professor of Medicine at West Virginia University medical school, Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians, a Family physician for 20 years, and a Lt Col in the US Air Force Reserves. He’s doing such great work in his hospital and community and has implemented some very beneficial programs. He’s a great guy and was a big supporter of the film early on. He brings up that Zach Bitter was actually in the FASTER study that previous podcast guest Dr. Jeff Volek famously did that rewrote the textbooks on fat oxidation. Lot’s of good stuff her beyond running! Thanks again for helping us finish the Indiegogo campaign. We hit our goal, but that certainly wasn’t the amount needed to finish the film. You can still preorder a copy of Food Lies on Indiegogo by clicking through FoodLies.org. Get the limited edition Eat Meat shirt there and check out the other perks - that’s at FoodLies.org. A quick update about me - I just started training for a Decathlon at UCLA. I’m going to do it running on meat and fat. Many of you probably saw the video of me pole vaulting for the first time in over 16 years on social media. This is going to be awesome. Everyone there thinks I’m insane for doing it at 35 while never having done most of the events before, let alone all of them in 2 days at the Masters Championships in Iowa. Also the mostly eating meat, fish, and eggs thing is really tripping them out. Follow along on social media. Also I’ll have a totally unrelated big announcement in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned - I’m very excited. Now here’s Mark and Zach. http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman   Show notes Zach Bitter Hosts the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker He holds the 100 mile American record with an average pace of 7 minutes per mile He also holds the world record for farthest distance run in 12 hours He spent the first half of his running career on the conventional high carb diet that all runners believe is best He followed a whole foods approach with lots of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables - no processed foods or junk food At age 24/25 he was having some bad symptoms that shouldn’t face a young man in his prime He wasn’t sleeping well, he didn’t have sustained energy throughout the day, and had poor recovery after workouts He looked towards nutrition as a cure and found the low carb, high fat diet Got turned on to Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek early on so he had a solid approach to transitioning into fat-adaptation correctly He transitioned in the off-season and sleep and energy immediately improved Recovery and mobility greatly improved after races once fat-adapted What are some other sports where it’s good to be fat-adapted? It seems to be dependent on how soon you’re going to train again. If it’s only once per day it seems carbs aren't really necessary. 2 sessions per day, probably yes. He only needs carbs when doing intensity plus high volume. Either one separately he doesn't. How he got into the carnivore world He’s done 73 podcast episodes with various experts and has learned a lot 2 big things are that vegetables aren’t really necessary it seems and there’s a lot of myths about protein that are turning out to not be true. There’s probably no such thing as too much protein My ultra simplistic theory is that animal foods are +1, processed foods are -1, and plant foods are just neutral (or 0). Plant foods aren't doing much for you other than taking up space in your stomach from things that could be worse. The real nutrition is from the animal foods. He agrees with this and builds his meals around fatty meat, eggs, and some full fat dairy He ferments his own vegetables If you have digestive problems try doing only animal foods and add stuff back in slowly and carefully to track it Hunter gatherers used to eat (and still do) fermented plant matter out of animal’s stomachs, especially in cold environments when that was their only vegetation Check out the HPO podcast he does with Shawn Baker Zach does running and nutrition coaching - find him at zachbitter.com He’s on twitter at twitter.com/zbitter and Instagram at instagram.com/zachbitter Mark Cucuzzella SHOW NOTES Mark is a doctor in West Virginia doing great things for his community and grew up as a runner He’s appeared in a lot of big news articles and news segments over the years https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/magazine/running-christopher-mcdougall.html https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6112350 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1dyKDrkABc His website https://www.drmarksdesk.com He recently wrote the book Run For Your Life which I’ve read and recommend to any runner https://www.amazon.com/Run-Your-Life-Without-Well-Being/dp/110194630X/ He created the Efficient Running Project for the US Air Force https://www.drmarksdesk.com/usaf-efficient-running He almost made the olympic trials for the marathon but was plagued by injuries and almost quit before taking health into his own hands and also running barefoot or almost barefoot He was able to keep running and has a streak of 30 years of under a 3 hour marathon He opened a running store and has organized tons of runs & events for adults and kids and got the community a lot more active He bought into the low fat high carb diet HUGE waking up at 2am eating more cereal he was so hungry He was in charge of figuring out why people in the Air Force kept failing the fitness tests This was in 2002 and he saw the Gary Taubes article What if it’s All Been a Big Fat Lie? https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html As a doctor he always has learned from his patients. He asked auditoriums full of recruits who has lost 50 pounds or more and kept it off for a year? The only answer was “I gave up bread, or I gave up soda, or I did Paleo, or I did Atkins” He also is a professor at WVU writing papers, etc. He started a program at his hospital that removed all sugary drinks 80% of people in a hospital have insulin resistance and/or metabolic syndrome why would we be giving them a toxin like sugar? The staff supported him in this after getting healthier and losing weight by cutting sugar and carbs He helped get double dollars for food stamps at the farmers market https://youtu.be/k5zptL5c9mI #1 thing purchased with food stamps (now called SNAP) in America is soda!! He’s also starting programs to help people make better choices at dollar stores I think “food deserts” are a myth. It’s just information. You don’t need fresh fruit and veg to be healthy. You can get meat, eggs, and canned fish anywhere in America within a few blocks Food industry and advertisements are working against us EAT Lancet debunking His blog post on this http://naturalrunningcenter.com/2019/01/27/eatlancet/ He’s part of the Nutrition Coalition with Nina Teicholz I grew up running barefoot in Hawaii Human evolution and persistence hunting Daniel Lieberman comes up again who’s the Harvard professor I had an unpleasant call with Running shouldn't be about burning calories it should be about being efficient His comprehensive article on fat adapted running http://naturalrunningcenter.com/2017/02/19/simple-food-rules-2/ Zach was actually part of the FASTER study by Phinney and Volek https://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(15)00334-0/abstract The textbooks say humans can only oxidize 0.8 grams per minute but in the study they doubled that. Dr. Mark did it himself and measured 2.0 grams of fat/min HIs heart rate dropped down significantly after only 1 minute because he is in such good shape and running so efficiently on fat - great for recovery If you’re a medical professional and would like to make changes in your community or otherwise you can contact him at afrundoc@gmail.com Dr. Eric Westman is a great doctor doing low carb for decades with his patients and having great success https://www.dukehealth.org/find-doctors-physicians/eric-c-westman-md-mhs http://DietDoctor.com Dr. Robert Lustig’s “The Complete Skinny on Obesity” https://youtu.be/moQZd1-BC0Y Even though the campaign is over you can still preorder the film and get the great perks   Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman   Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Sapien Movement: http://SapienMovement.com   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg   Theme music by https://kylewardmusic.com/

Ultra endurance athlete and podcaster Zach Bitter is our special interview guest on Episode 1478 of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show. Zach Bitter from ZachBitter.com is an ultra endurance athlete, coach, and co-host to the podcast Human Performance Outliers. Zach follows a low carbohydrate diet, which has aided him in completing over 50 ultra-marathons, including; 3 World Championship Teams, 3 National Championships, and holds the World Record for distance run in 12 hours, American Record for 100 miles, and fastest time recorded on a certified trail. Listen in as Jimmy and Zach talk about: His new podcast Human Performance Outliers His ideas on keto for performance athletes Bioindividuality What an ideal diet is Dealing with feedback from critics Periodizing training and understanding the context Why the simplicity of a carnivore diet is perfect for some people "The fatty cuts of meat are the base of my diet, and as my activity increases I add in more fats for energy." – Zach Bitter  

In ep 47, we go deeper into the diet world as we bring on Dr. Shawn Baker, who is a major proponent of the carnivore diet. Strap yourselves in and grab some A1, stokers. Check out Dr. Baker on insta: @shawnbaker1967 and his podcast "Human Performance Outliers."

In this episode, I'm interviewing the Endurance Athlete and coach, Zach Bitter. Zach currently holds the American 100-mile record, and the 12 hour World Record. As you might have guessed, he's driven to find his limitations in a variety of environments and help others find theirs. In this interview, we discuss everything from the psychology of competing in endurance races such as his recent western states 100, how he is able to sustain the impact that those distances can have on your body, through to the high-fat ketogenic approach to nutrition he follows in order to fuel his racing efforts. Zach is such a humble, well-spoken guy, with a lot of expertise not only in the world of ultra-running but in managing racing and nutrition for sustainable outcomes. I'm so honored to be interviewing someone so physically and mentally tough like Zach, so make sure you stick around to the end where he gives some really helpful advice about getting into your first ultra-marathon. Questions Start with a personal story that you would be willing to share (Maybe how you ran into someone on the track? / How you helped someone else during a race?) How did you get started? Finding your strengths, can you explain that feeling? People who have trouble sleeping / energy swings are usually prescribed exercise, but for someone like yourself who trains so often, can you explain the motivation behind the high fat approach to your running and how that effected your sleep? Tell us about the Western States 100 – With 18,000f of elevation, steep Start and middle, from what I could see from your splits, you just kept getting better. The psychology of running can make or break potential during a race. How does looking back on the training motivate you to dig deep? And how does community inspire you to push harder? As a high fat ultra-runner, do you monitor your training load vs your carbohydrate intake? Do you need to count macros? Or has this become intuitive? You're also a coach, what are some of the common mistakes your see your clients doing that might be stunting their progress? You've done so many interviews in the past, including your podcast with Joe Rogan. You're such a well-spoken guy, so does it feel like you're right at home with your podcast “Human Performance Outliers” with Shawn Baker (who's also been on the Joe Rogan Podcast) Shorter Questions What's your favourite keto food? What's your favourite style of training run? What's your least favourite keto food? What's your least favourite training run? Who are you currently inspired by? Who is your number 1 supporter? Ultra-distance aside, do you think a 2-hour marathon is possible? What book or video you've watched recently inspired you? What music have you been listening to recently? (do you find music puts you off) Ending Question: What would you tell someone transitioning from a marathon into an ultra-marathon, and what wouldn't you tell them? Books Mentioned: How Bad Do You Want It – Matt Fitzgerald - https://www.amazon.com/How-Bad-You-Want-Psychology/dp/1937715418 Find More About Zach Bitter: Website: https://zachbitter.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbitter/ Human Performance Outliers Podcast: https://zachbitter.com/hpo-podcast/ Coaching -> http://www.sharmanultra.com/zachbitter Achievements -> https://zachbitter.com/achievements/

Zach Bitter currently holds the American 100 mile ultra marathon record as well as the World 12 hour record. He is dominating the world of competitive ultra-running. And so, today I sit down with Zach to talk about his success, his motivating self-talk, and his unique approach to nutrition.   You can find Zach at www.zachbitter.com. Plus, you can hear Zach on his own podcast called "Human Performance Outliers" over at https://zachbitter.com/hpo-podcast/ On Instagram as @zachbitter and twitter as @zbitter  

*I welcome my old friend Zach Bitter to the show to talk about all things related to peak performance and endurance. Zach is the host of the Human Performance Outliers podcast and is definitely honoring the show title with his amazing ultrarunning performances. He is the world record holder at 100 miles with an astonishing time of 11 hours, 19 minutes, which equates to running 6 min, 48 seconds per mile all day long!* Go try running one mile at that pace, and then repeat 100 times! Zach also busted the world record for 100 miles on a treadmill, so don’t complain that you get “bored” after 42 minutes at the gym. Zach has also long been a leader in fat-adapted endurance training, having discovered that a nutrient-dense, low carbohydrate diet helps him recover faster and also gives him a performance edge during ultramarathon competitions because he doesn’t require as many on-board calories as when he was a high carb athlete. Zach was a participant in the FASTER study (Fat Adapted Substrate utilization in Trained Elite Runners) where groundbreaking discoveries were made for the potential of humans to burn fat during exercise at a higher rate than previously thought possible. We get into a bit of science about athletic performance, but the best part of this episode is hearing about Zach’s methodical approach to peak performance and his evolved, process-oriented approach. He loves the challenge of ultrarunning, loves pushing the edges of human endurance performance, but has a healthy competitive disposition and strives to lead a balanced life. Enjoy listening to this super informative show with Zach, and if you’re interested in connecting with him for coaching, check out his website here ( https://zachbitter.com/ ). *TIMESTAMPS:* Zach Bitter is a world record holding runner who ran 100 miles in 11 hours and 19 minutes. He’s going to talk about his training diet. [01:50] As Zach got more serious about his ultramarathon training, he learned more about nutrition. [05:25] Even a strong “healthy” young athlete has energy swings that are not good for him. [08:28] There is not just one way to do this dietary journey. [10:31] Look at the individual plan rather than the group plan for diet and training to see what is best for you. [14:59] Zach uses his training as a school teacher in his coaching work. Treat people as individuals, not by throwing them into one group. [20:04] What was happening in the sport of ultra-marathon in 2010 when Zach got into it? The sport has grown massively. [25:27] Zach fills us in on his succession of breaking records with him amazing times. [31:11] Running on a flat track, Zach was averaging 06:47:05 per mile when he broke the world record. [35:12] If you have a bad race, don’t waste time with a pity party. Think about how to use that experience to help me improve for next time. [38:52] In 2011, Zach started to examine his diet and wanted to see if he could enhance his diet to accommodate his difficult workouts. He talks about his race fueling strategies. [42:36] Here in the year 2020, with so much sports nutrition information, we are still seeing many severe gastrointestinal problems in elite athletes. [51:26] The diet transformation had a huge improvement in terms of his recovery. He had swollen ankles. [54:19] Mike McKnight ran a hundred of miles with no calories.
