On this episode of Biohackers Lab I talk to Chris Cornell. We discuss Chris’s incredible journey of transformation. Despite being in poor shape at 51, Chris turned his life around through dedication to nutrition and fitness, achieving peak health well into his 60s.
He shares how a low-carb diet and resistance training helped him lose excess weight sustainably and regain physical strength and muscle growth, all while overcoming challenges along the way like a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Chris also delves into his approach to satiety, meal replacements, and the importance of setting simple, consistent rules for achieving long-term fitness goals. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to make meaningful lifestyle changes, regardless of age.
