Episode Summary

In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K break down practical strategies for eating well on a busy schedule — whether you have a private chef or a shoestring budget. They discuss how to simplify meal prep, make cooking efficient without sacrificing taste, and balance nutrition even when time is limited.

The hosts cover different approaches based on your resources: hiring a private chef, using meal delivery services, cooking at home efficiently, or prepping bulk meals on a tight budget. They emphasize simplicity, smart use of sauces and seasonings, and cost-effective strategies for protein, vegetables, and carbs. Listeners also get guidance on using high-quality protein bars and shakes when time is tight, and learn why processed foods can be both unhealthy and expensive.
