There are so many egg labels that no one knows the difference anymore. Find out the actual difference between good eggs and bad eggs in this episode. Hint: you might throw out your conventional eggs after you hear the difference.

We also discuss Supplement companies and how you just can't trust any old supplement company out there. Quality ingredients and full disclosure of those ingredients are a must for a good company. Otherwise, you might be getting sand in those pills.

Lastly we touch on mobility and how becoming more mobile and doing things like Yoga can help you live longer.

To get strong and lose weight many people think you have to be in the gym for a few hours a day like a bodybuilder. Today in the show we learn that that just isn'tt the case. You can get strong, lose fat and feel amazing with something called minimalist training. Minimalist training is the idea of doing the least amount possible for the greatest amount of results. Our guest Pat Flynn breaks down how to get the most bang for your buck in your workouts. He also tells us what common mistakes rookies are making in the gym and what sorts of foods to eat while living the minimalist lifestyle.

Why Listen?

Our guest is a functional medicine physician and has founded a practice that's modern and tech savvy, enabling patients to interact with their Doctors in ways their more used to communicating in. You can text and email your doctor instead of faxing them. Pretty cool, right? So next time you have Adrenal Fatigue or a Gut issue (both of which we discuss in the show) you can shoot your doctor a text message and get help rather quickly.

Speaking of Adrenal Fatigue, it's plaguing our modern western society. People are running themselves into the ground with work, money problems, divorce and other stresses and the result is a body with Hormone dysfunction. Our guest tells you how to beat adrenal fatigue for good and keep it away. We also talk about what it means to become Super Human this year.
