Ep 52. Eating for happiness w Shannon Beer

Macabolic Podcast

In episode 52 of the Macabolic Podcast, I was lucky enough to be joined by my friend Shannon Beer who is a digital nomad and nutritionist at Flex Success. Lately, it's been quite clear to both of us that we share many mutual views on nutrition and implementing beneficial interventions in practice. So it seemed like a no-brainer to record a podcast over the seven-day period she stayed in my apartment whilst visiting Sydney.

This episode is all about achieving balanced, fulling human happiness through nutrition and physique goals that 'don't get taken too far'.

IMO Shannon is a great example of someone who uses healthful nutrition to maximally enhance her life. She molds her diet around all the things she wants to do and does a great job of not avoiding the finer food experiences in life whilst maintaining a respectable physique and even progressing overtime. Shes mastered eating for maximum life enjoyment and total health, which is a topic worth discussion in an industry consumed by false perceptions of fulfillment that 'an optimal physique' will bring.

Shannon and I discussed our thoughts and feelings regarding finding the sweet spot where you can maximally enjoy life and still 'look and feel the part'. We touched on where we think the point of diminishing returns falls... The point where taking your physique beyond what can feasibly be achieved with life balance and fulfillment can become a negative thing.
