On this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I speak to ultra marathon runner, author, and motivational speaker Charlie Engle. Charlie has run 4,500 miles across the Sahara Desert, and spent 16 months in federal prison — but considers his more than two decades of sobriety as one of his biggest feats to date. He released his memoir, Running Man, three years ago, and has touched countless lives with his story of courage, perseverance, and redemption. We discuss his struggles and setbacks with addiction and incarceration, and how running helped him overcome adversity and forge ahead. We also chat about his incredible, record-breaking treks around the globe, and how YOU can become a runner too… even if you hate running!
