In this episode, Martin will be joined by his friend and client, Karissa Holybee. She is a weightlifter, a carnivore, a former machinery technician in the US coast guard for 12 years, and the logistics manager of Ashigaru Defense. In order to fulfill her ambition of becoming a licensed health coach, she has also enrolled in the Primal Health Coach Course with Mark Sisson. Karissa qualifies as a coach next month. 

Martin and Karissa talked about topics such as her pregnancy journey, how she takes care of her disabled son, losing weight, keto, her carnivore journey, how the most difficult individuals to train are athletes, the most important lesson she learned, and much more.

“It doesn't take that much time in the gym. For the most part, about 45 minutes on average, and then the band sessions only last like 10 to 12 minutes. So that wasn't a big deal. The fact that I haven ’t been spending hours in the gym is really nice.” – Karissa
