Episode 5-498 – Dr. Shuck - How I got to 165 lbs.

If you think it’s time to get serious about your health, and take action for yourself, reach out to Rachel at www.drshuck.com/rrl and have a conversation.  

Hello my running friends. 

Welcome to episode 5-498 of the RunRunLive podcast.

How are you all doing? Another wonderful week, yeah? 

You’ll be delighted to know that I survived my birthday. And, yes this is an interesting phase of life I’ve entered into. 

Last episode we talked about memento mori – or remembering that death is always there. This was a big thing in the middle ages because, death was always there. It’s a bit more intellectualized now. We’re not going to die from stepping on a nail or a intestinal parasite, probably, but death is still there. 

A quote that could be attributed to a 100 people, but I chose Jim Morrison, “No one gets out Alive”.

So for me, with this birthday, Death may not be in the room with me warming up, but he may be sleeping on a futon next door thinking about it!

Paradoxically I’m doing great!

Today we do a summary review of my campaign over the summer to get down to 165 pounds with my nutrition coach Rachel, or as she is now known, ‘Dr. Shuck’. It really makes me wonder why we don’t start teaching nutrition in early education. 

There is a basic grab-bag of topics that I wish someone had taught me. Like basic financial planning. And how there are different personality types. And the importance of living in the present. 

In section one I’ll talk about the relationship between losing weight and running faster.

In section two I’ll talk about the compound effect.
