Primal Shift Podcast #36: Michael Kummer's Balance in Work, Wellness & Homesteading

In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I'm peeling back the curtain on my everyday life to show how I juggle productivity, health, and maintaining a connection to our ancestral roots.
My days used to be ruled by a rigid schedule. But now, I leverage a flexible plan that makes space for everything from CrossFit and sauna sessions to managing my supplements business and running our homestead.
This episode is about finding a balance without overcomplicating life. Whether you're looking to optimize your own routine or just curious about a day in the life on a homestead, I’ll share the insights and adjustments that have made the biggest difference for me.
