Functional Fitness and Nutrition with Patryk Piekarczyk

Patryk Piekarczyk

has been a Nutrition and Performance Coach for 8 years. A constant practitioner of his own methods, he walks the walk and talks the talk.

His Substack is one of my favorite resources of practical knowledge for improving your health in the kitchen and gym.

We discussed physical activity vs exercise vs training, simplicity in nutrition, benefits of having a coach, removing choices when initially pursuing change, the myth of time availability, functional fitness, high frequency training, as well as neural plasticity in movement patterns, muscle recruitment, and all other skills.

This conversation demonstrated how Pat is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

His Substack also has the best welcome email I’ve seen. Packed full of free and discounted resources to include:

• Performance Nutrition Manual

• The Art of Training: How to Read Programs

• A Beginner Gainz Program

• Body Composition For Strength Sports Manual

• Lean for Life Playbook

• Protein Packed Power Recipe Manual

• A Kettlebell Conditioning Program for $1

• Several discounted fitness programs

• Free 15-minute consult with him
