The sport of climbing demands a tremendous combination of strength, technique, mental fortitude, and determination. However, even at the top of the sport's ranks, it's common to struggle with many of the challenges the every day athlete faces — burnout, injury, obsession, and questioning one's purpose with sport. Tyler Landman is a professional climber that has recently shifted his relationship to the sport to find more balance and flow through purpose over performance and redefining what meaningful movement looks like.

The Inextricable Link Between Diet and Environmental Sustainability

"The food we eat and the way we produce it will determine the health of people and planet, and major changes must be made to avoid both reduced life expectancy and continued environmental degradation."

-The EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems

Our food choices have perhaps the greatest impact on the environment out of any of our individual daily choices. It's impossible to separate the two, but we have a ton of control. In this week's episode, I discuss a recent landmark report from the journal The Lancet titled "Food in the Anthropocene: the EAT- Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems." This interdisciplinary team of researchers make the case for developing a reference diet that simultaneously meets the nutritional needs of a global population, and meets climate and environmental sustainability goals.

Are Carbohydrates Evil?

Carbohydrates, perhaps more than any other nutrient found in food, has drawn years of controversy, confusion, and even fear.

In this conversation, we'll discuss:

the importance of carbohydrate for athletes and active humans.
