Episode Synopsis

Learn about lifestyle development, living off the grid, and optimal health practices with veteran Gary Collins in this episode of LMScast hosted by Chris Badgett of LifterLMS. Chris and Gary dive into the essentials for working remotely and living a simple lifestyle.

Gary shares his journey from growing up in a rural town in California to heading to San Diego State college and into the military from there. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, he ended up becoming a federal agent.

Gary spent the years of his life from ages 20-40 working for the government, so by the time he decided to leave that job, he felt burned out. He ended up starting a health company and selling his house for a loss in order to escape a lifestyle that felt like a trap.

With access to tools like the internet, telecommuting and remote work is now easier than ever. Gary teaches three aspects of living: life’s purpose, financial well being, and optimal health. Health is one aspect of his philosophy that he has had a very personal relationship with, by letting his health decline when he was stressed and felt trapped in his old lifestyle.

There is not a lot of money to be made with healthy people, so there is a lot of incentive from companies to keep people sick and buying products to aid the symptoms temporarily. Gary has practiced the Paleo diet that eliminates highly processed diary, beans, and grains. Making lifestyle switches and getting out of your normal routine has shown to change people’s habits in as little as 3 days.
