In this episode I talk with Maggie Stewart, a personal health and fitness coach who also hosts the “Off of the couch podcast”. We talk about:

  • Losing weight - Getting enough protein
  • How health changed over decades
  • Primal health coaching
  • Cholesterol, fat and heart disease
  • Strength training
  • And more…

 

Maggie wanted me to include this as she didn't mention it in the episode:

  • The recommended amount of protein is 1.2 gm/ kg body weight
  • I like seated exercise for people that are extremely heavy or have knee problems
