From Exo Mtn Gear: 
Your truck won't run with an empty tank. And it also won't run well, or for long, or the wrong type of fuel. The same is true of you. To perform your best, you need to fuel properly. But what does that mean? With an overwhelming amount of nutrition information on the internet and countless "performance" products being marketed to us, how do you cut through the fluff and get solid nutrition information and recommendations on what really matters?
 
Kyle Kamp with Valley to Peak Nutrition is the guy we go to for all things nutrition. For years, Kyle has helped us prepare for our annual Death Hikes, our extended backcountry hunts, and even for day-to-day life.
 
In this episode, Kyle and Mark discuss
what's changed in the past several years since they began working together,
what changes they have made to the updated (and FREE!) Backcountry Fuel Guide, and more...

Ken B. wrote me with a question: I’m wondering how to achieve using my fat as a source fuel without consuming too much extra fat… if it’s possible.."
 
It's a common and excellent question- so I had him on to chat about it. 
 
We dive through why it doesn't work the way his question suggests (i.e. you don't have to consume dietary fat to be fat-adapted per se) and some of the other often confused points on the topic.

"I heard about something called 'RED-S'- can you outline what that is and talk more about how to know if you have it?"
 
RED-S is an acronym used to describe a complicated issue that arrises when we have ALOT of training and not enough fuel.
 
We answer that and look at how to know what we 'should' weigh if we really can't trust the coveted BMI charts at healthcare office.

Jim started his year off at the age of 63 unhappy with where his health, weight, and fitness was at.  He knew he had an uphill challenge ahead of him and that losing battling this three areas was harder than it was at 24, but was it impossible due to his age like everyone always says?

"What do you mean it's 'so simple'?"
 
This was the question I was faced with when a listener stopped me at the Hunt Expo in SLC.  The answer to that question, with practical tips, is what your'e about to listen to....with a twist.  Ken went and put our conversation to the test for 10 weeks and returned with a follow up.  Was it truly, 'that simple?'

If you're someone who is interested in learning how nutrition can help you progress towards your goals, this is the podcast for you.
