This week on The 4Ms (# 030 ), I teamed up with EC Synkowski and we’re talking all about:

- The 800 gram fruits and veggie challenge - what it is, how to do it, and how to put it into practice.
- Potatoes, corn, olives,  and beans all count in the 800 gram challenge!
- Food Sensitivity Tests: her thoughts, why they may not be the most validated or useful test, how our immune system works, and why the food sensitivity tests are really more of a measure of what you've recently eaten, and why they can actually make you develop neuroses around real foods that are likely not the problem.
- How to eat enough protein a day, where to start, and how to break it up.
- Muscle Mass: when do we start to lose muscle mass and organ capacity? Why we don't need as many calories as we age, why we have to get tighter on our diets as we get older, and why it's important to keep doing the strength based workouts to build muscle as we age.
- Habits: Questions to ask yourself to actually get real behavior change, and how to make an impactful difference in your own life?
- We answer the question: Should we eat the calories back from our workouts?
- Her thoughts on why weight isn't connected with your value as a human being, and why if we believe that fasting blood glucose is a health indicator - the weight is no different.
