We’re covering another zombie myth of protein that just won’t die today. Now it appears that protein itself is considered a negative thing in some circles. Yikes. I was at the ancestral health society meeting this past August presenting - it was super fun. One of the presenters was doing a talk about how we
One of my favorite shows on TV, other than Seinfeld which most of my students don’t even know existed… which is crazy, was MythBusters. Myth #3 is “as you age, you need less protein. This is false. From studies that we’ve seen, your protein needs actually go up as you age because of anabolic resistance.
Too Much Protein Will Damage Your Kidneys? For the average healthy person listening in, this is not true. You need to understand the difference between “work” and “damage”. It is true that if you have more protein coming in, your kidneys will do more work but that’s not a bad thing. Listen in to learn
This week, we’re talking all about protein. If you’re into fitness, this is a topic I’m sure you have heard about before. But what I wanted to do today is give you a primer on why/how it’s important and for the rest of the week we’re going to talk about all of the protein “zombie”
Wrapping up our week here on exercise and, specifically, exercise adaptations. Hopefully, everyone's not too pissed off about the aerobic thing we did yesterday.

While you'll commonly hear them called the powerhouse of the cell, it's kind of technically true, but they do a lot of other things in addition to creating energy for your cells.
As of this recording, you may hear some different noises in the background. I'm in South Padre Texas doing some kiteboarding. You're probably wondering what kiteboarding has to do with the topic of exercise this week (other than it is a very good exercise). And if you know me, you know I could probably do
Today I have something super cool for you. This is an interview with my good buddy Dr. Andy Galpin from Cal State Fullerton. If you've been listening to some of my stuff for quite a while, or possibly some of Andy's stuff for quite a while, you may notice that this interview was originally aired
The importance of sleep. Whenever you talk about sleep, especially around a group of lifters, these questions then come up, "Should I be ingesting protein before I go to bed? Does that mess up my metabolism? Does that gonna make me jacked in four weeks? Is this a good thing? Is it a bad thing?
This week, we've been talking a lot about sleep, and today I wanted to discuss with you just a very short thing related to the impact of sleep on metabolism. Now, earlier in the week, we talked about how if your quality of sleep is less, it may impair your body's ability to use fat
