I used to be a major CrossFitter, spending multiple days per week in the box. But lately, I've been cutting back on CrossFit workouts and spending less time in the gym, instead prioritizing daily walks with the dog, manual labor around the homestead, and experimenting with innovative resistance training using X3 bands.

In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I'll tell you about my current regimen and explain why I increasingly focus on balancing intense workouts with natural, ancestral practices.

I'll also explain how I augment these practices with modern technology, like cold plunges and red light therapy, and how I use supplements like creatine, collagen, colostrum, and a limited number of plant-based products to help enhance my testosterone levels, support my gut health, bolster my athletic performance and improve my skin's appearance.

Tune in to learn how you can integrate these principles into your own routine for a healthier, more balanced life.
