129: Strength In Action: Food & Fitness – Amee Livingston and Lance Pekus

This is part 2 in a 2-part series where we discuss what strength means to each of my three guests. We talk about physical strength but also mental and emotional strength. We discuss the "Four Cornerstones" of eating to support strength, some practical tips for tweaking your meals and snacks as well as simple cooking ideas and meal prepping advice – and we also talk about life on a cattle ranch and how both the land and the animals are cared for. Today's guests are Amee Livingston and Lance Pekus. Amee is an Olympic weightlifter, food blogger and breast cancer survivor. Lance is the Cowboy Ninja from American Ninja Warrior and a cattle rancher with a degree in natural resources/environmental science. "You don't have to spend all day meal prepping! Try doing partial meal prep like batch cooking proteins or pre-chopping vegetables." - Amee "People might think I'm strong, but for me it's the people behind me, it's the people that support me, the ones that are there for me that are strong – and maybe their strength is getting shown through me." - Lance For the full shownotes, resources and link to the free book "Strength: The Field Manual" visit www.SoundBitesRD.com/129 This episode is a sponsored collaboration with "Beef.
