Manuel Patterer was part of the Cobra, Austria's elite special forces unit, for 15 years. In this episode, he talks about a life under high stress, pushing his physical limits, mental strain, and why fasting in particular became a major turning point for him.
He talks about setbacks on his path to joining the Cobra, the extreme demands of deployment, the health consequences of years of peak performance, and how a persistent injury led him to completely rethink health. This is not just about fasting, but also about recovery, sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress management, and how men can recognize their body's warning signs early on.
