Episode description

This week's guest on Your Body's Way is Dr Phil Maffetone, author, speaker and creator of the hugely popular MAF Method and 180 Formula.

We are all innately athletic fat burners, but we have lost our way over the decades leading to an overfat pandemic.

Dr Phil has influenced millions globally to train and eat smarter in order to be leaner and fitter.

In this episode Dr Phil explains the mind blowing concept of training slower to get faster! He describes the importance of using a heart rate monitor to build aerobic fitness in order to train at higher intensities later on in your fitness program. He also explains the benefits of a high fat/high protein diet and how reducing sugars and flours would end the obesity epidemic.

Go grab yourself a heart rate monitor because you'll want to use it after hearing this!
