What are one of the misunderstood keys to long term weight loss? If you look at the statistics, most people are good at achieving short term weight loss but they’re horrible at maintaining it. In the fitness world, I see an over focus on calories - and yes while calories do matter - there are
This week, we’re talking about a concept called g-flux. The first time I heard about this was from Dr. John Berardi in the early 2000s. G-Flux represents the relationship between the amount of energy you ingest through your diet and the amount of energy you burn through the sum total of your metabolic activity. With
Let’s just jump right into the last protein myth of the week. I’m going to cover some very interesting, massive, protein overfeeding studies where they’ve tracked the effects of consuming a high protein diet for body composition. Listen in for all of the details. Visit www.flexdiet.com. Finally, understand nutrition on a whole new level. The
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.

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. But if they are, they will probably not be happy about the one we're doing today then either. But that's okay. So today we're talking about looking at cardiac tissue. Is
During this episode, I chat about about exercise and mitochondrial madness. So mitochondria appear to be the new sexy topic in exercise physiology. 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
