David Amerland, Built to Last

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner April 10, 2025 Duration: 48:01
In today’s world, with constant distractions, how can we persist with health and fitness efforts and keep our bodies “Built to Last”? David Amerland is a champion martial artist, a technologist and a philosopher.  His string of books, especially “The Sniper Mind” and “Intentional” have led up to his treatise on lifelong health and fitness called “Built to Last.” Ramsey and David talked about the progression of his thinking over the years, and how physical health gains will first come from mental transformation.  He makes the point that in today’s world, the norm is to sit at a screen, not to walk across miles of open plain, so we need to be intentional about focusing on making regular movement part of our everyday lifestyle.  David also recommends DareBee (www.darebee.com), a nonprofit and free international collection of exercises.  Learn more and find the books at www.davidamerland.com.
