Episode 213: Chris S. Cornell

Author: Dr. Brian Lenzkes September 11, 2024 Duration: 1:09:05

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Chris S. Cornell's story begins at a turning point in his life. At the age of 51, he found himself at a weight of 278 pounds, facing the realization that his health was spiraling out of control. Years of consuming foods that undermined his well-being had taken their toll. Even simple tasks, like climbing a flight of stairs, left him gasping for air. It was at this critical moment that Chris decided to take action and find a solution that would change his life forever. In his search for answers, Chris discovered the transformative power of a low-carb lifestyle. Inspired by Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat," he experienced a lightbulb moment while reading about how carbohydrates produce different effects in the body compared to proteins or fats. This newfound understanding ignited a spark of confidence within Chris—a belief that this could finally be the last weight loss journey of his life.

In this conversation, Dr. Brian and Chris talk about…

  • How Chris' personal health journey led him to low carb
  • Chris' cancer diagnosis and how his dietary change aided his recovery
  • Running, exercise, and nutrition
  • The endurance athlete mentality
  • Ultra-running and preparing for marathons
  • Chris' recent dietary experiment with Joel Bikman's meal replacement shake, HLTH Code
  • Why a 'weight loss at all costs' mentality is not necessarily healthy
  • Chris' upcoming and current pursuits in the realm of nutrition and coaching
