À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of the Heart to Heart Podcast, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Greg Mushen, a former tech professional turned health advocate, to discuss his incredible journey of transforming his body and lifestyle. Greg shares insights from his background growing up in a medical family and how early exposure to health experiments sparked his long-lasting interest in nutrition and fitness. He details his significant body transformation starting at age 47, the role of tracking macros and engaging in strength training, and the importance of key habits like walking 17,000 steps a day. The conversation also delves into the use of red light therapy, the science behind resistant starches, and maintaining a balanced routine without becoming overly dependent on health gadgets. Greg's shift from a tech-centric life to a health-focused one offers valuable lessons on maintaining physical and mental wellness. Tony Ricci is a veteran performance coach and sport scientist specializing in the intersection of strength training, nutrition, and mental performance for combat athletes. With a background spanning exercise physiology, sports science, and nutrition—as well as decades of hands-on coaching—Tony has trained world-class fighters and helped shape modern approaches to MMA preparation.
