Show Notes

Discussion Summary:

Today I am pleased to present episode #64 with one of the world’s foremost experts on fructose and why people get fat, Dr Richard Johnson. 

Today you will also learn some easy changes to your own lifestyle to improve your health, which is of course the foundation for being a strong athlete. I have already stopped eating added sugar, and after my first discussion with Dr. Johnson I stopped all high sodium foods. After today I started a routine of drinking 2 liters of water or green tea everyday to make sure I do not get dehydrated.
