Brock Armstrong -

I am what most people would call a "health nut". I am passionate about running, cycling, swimming, hockey, tennis... and, well, fitness in general. I am also passionate about Health & Well Being. My own personal struggle with various health issues have driven me greatly to gather the resources, education and training I have amassed over the last few years.

In December of 2003 I got very ill and contracted pericarditis / myocarditis and spent a lot of time in and out of hospital over the next 1.5 years. I suffered heart failure numerous times, was rushed in for an angiogram, developed an abnormal heart rhythm... and basically had the scare of a lifetime (buy me a coffee sometime and I will tell you all about it).

I have also battled anxiety and depression for most of my teen and adult life. I have incorporated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Yoga into my life and now feel that I have balance in my day.

Currently I am a Marathon and Triathlon Coach, Team in Training certified (running) by Jack "Tupper" Daniels himself. I am also a certified AFLCA Group Fitness Leader with a designation in Portable Equipment (trained by Marjorie O'Connor). I am also a NCCP and CAC Triathlon "Coach in Training".

My history as a professional dancer (trained at the Alberta Ballet and Royal Winnipeg Ballet) gives me a unique understanding of the body and how it moves... and doesn't move.

My partner Eleanor is an RN currently working at one of Canada's largest trauma centres. She is always happy to answer medical questions either off the top of her (very knowledge filled) head or out of one of her vast medical text books.

I have access to some of Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver's top resources in fitness, health, nutrition, relaxation, massage, yoga, breathing, stroller-size, bikes, shoes... you name it! To top it off, I was the voice of Mark Sisson on the Primal Blueprint podcast, Ben Greenfield's "sidekick" on the Ben Greenfield Fitness Podcast and I now work with the Bulletproof Executive, Dave Asprey. 

This week Adam and Vanessa sit down and chat with Marty Kendall of Optimizing Nutrition about data, diabetes, and outcome driven methods of tracking progress. 

From Marty - "I’m an engineer with an interest in nutrition who seeks things numerically

My wife is a type 1 diabetic and I have a family history of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Recently, by refining our diet to prioritize low insulinogenic nutrient dense foods I’m pleased to say that my wife Monica has been able to achieve of improved blood sugar control, increased energy and reduced depression and anxiety that so often comes with blood sugar dysregulation.

She’s now able to enjoy working as a teacher rather than just getting through the morning and needing to sleep the afternoon before picking up the kids.  Her only regret is that she didn’t discover this earlier.

After years of dabbling in diet and nutrition I’ve been able to step up to a new level of vitality, reach my ideal weight and reverse my pre-diabetes.

We have also seen dramatic improvements in the health and happiness of our kids by changing what they eat.

For me this is personal.  I’m passionate.  I hope that our journey can help to shortcut your path to optimum health.

There are always new things to learn in the world of health and nutrition.  The range of conflicting ideas makes it difficult to find a cohesive dietary narrative to achieve health and wellness.

My aim is to consolidate a range of ideas into a an algorithm that will enable an individual to tailor their diet to suit their goals.

This approach builds on LCHF, paleo and ketogenic frameworks to minimise the negative effects of excess insulin while maximizing nutrition through eating real, luxurious and delicious food."
