Episode 213: Chris S. Cornell

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Chris S. Cornell's story begins at a turning point in his life. At the age of 51, he found himself at a weight of 278 pounds, facing the realization that his health was spiraling out of control. Years of consuming foods that undermined his well-being had taken their toll. Even simple tasks, like climbing a flight of stairs, left him gasping for air. It was at this critical moment that Chris decided to take action and find a solution that would change his life forever. In his search for answers, Chris discovered the transformative power of a low-carb lifestyle. Inspired by Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat," he experienced a lightbulb moment while reading about how carbohydrates produce different effects in the body compared to proteins or fats. This newfound understanding ignited a spark of confidence within Chris—a belief that this could finally be the last weight loss journey of his life.

In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Chris talk about…

• How Chris' personal health journey led him to low carb
• Chris' cancer diagnosis and how his dietary change aided his recovery
• Running, exercise, and nutrition
• The endurance athlete mentality
• Ultra-running and preparing for marathons
• Chris' recent dietary experiment with Joel Bikman's meal replacement shake, HLTH Code
• Why a 'weight loss at all costs' mentality is not necessarily healthy
• Chris' upcoming and current pursuits in the realm of nutrition and coaching
