Ep. 607: Jason Seib – Optimizing the Mind/Body Alliance

Even though Jason’s work focuses primarily on 30+ moms frustrated with yo-yo diets, I’ve bought into his approach in a big way over the last 2 years, with great results. Recently I was looking for ways to optimize my diet and fitness pursuits, which actually means addressing some mistakes and shortcuts I have been making. I thought, who better to talk to than Jason himself?

We’ll start by discussing Jason’s Background in the Paleo scene, the influence of Rob Wolf, serious problems with the online fitness industry, and then we’ll move into the important of a healthy relationship between mind and body in fitness and diet pursuits.

What is Alt-Shift:
– Research, Guidelines and foundations
– benefits of Cyclic Keto Diets, shortcoming of keto/low-carb diets
– Macro-nutrient cycling in Alt-Shift

Brett’s Alt-Shift Benefits:
– sustainability
– leaner and stronger than maybe I’ve ever been
– less anxiety
– much better cardiovascular health
– sleep, deep and consistent
– energy
– less illness
– better metabolic flexibility
– fun

But Here’s the Problem:
Lately I’ve been having too much fun? I read the book in 2017, and now I retain only the essences of it, selectively. I am finding ways to cheat, while still still operating inside the macro guidelines of the diet. And while there may be no immediate consequences at my waistline (which is 30) I worry about the implications to long term health.

This is an important theme in the show: a conscious approach, with self-acceptance as a foundation, but also focused on regular improvement.
