people were on board with the Ahenogram challenge, then of course within the cross the community they were like,

uh, protein. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But I didn't really have a way I wanted to attack that yet. And so it kind of was applying some of the same idea of the 800-gram challenge of like let's set a mark

that is probably pretty good for a lot of people that might need to be fine-tuned

but let's kind of set a benchmark of adding protein to the diet

and kind of just having this general standard. And again, now that we have tackling fruits and veggies

and tackling enough protein, we further push out that

process crap.

Hello and welcome to pursuing health.

I'm Dr. Julie Fushe, family physician and

former cross-pit games athlete. Here I bring you information and

inspiration to help bridge the gap between fitness and medicine and support

your journey toward your healthiest self.

Thank you so much for joining me. Now let's get started with this week's episode.

All right guys this week I am excited to sit down with founder of the 800-gram challenge and

optimized me nutrition E.C. Sinkowski. A little bit of background on E.C.

Before we get started, she's been in the Cross Fit World since 2006, serving as a seminar staff, Flow Master, and the Cross Fit Training Program manager up until 2017, at which time she turned her focus to completing her second master's degree in human nutrition and functional medicine.

After that she founded her company Optimize Me Nutrition which focuses on

helping individuals understand nutrition physiology and its day-to-day applications.

So this is E.C.'s second appearance here on the Pursuing Health Podcast.

We had our first sit-down back in episode 95, and I was excited to catch up with her about

some new developments, including her 10 principles of nutrition and the Lazy Macros Challenge.

I'm also super excited to announce that we're actually going to be running EC's Lazy Macros Challenge
