Metabolic Health: The 8-to-1 Exercise Rule | Gordo Byrn

About the EpisodeAs part of our late summer break, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations from The Path archive. Gordo Byrn went from out of shape in his twenties to winning the Ultraman World Championship, and along the way he learned that the same habits that build elite athletes can help anyone turn their health around, even with a family history stacked against them. In this episode, Gordo breaks down the framework he uses with everyday people: how to build an exercise habit that actually sticks, why easy pace often feels the hardest part of training, and the simple blood pressure trick that helped his own dad lose sixty pounds for good.About the GuestGordo Byrn is a former investment banker who became a professional triathlete later in life with no endurance sports background to start.
