We are going to upload three episodes in a row here but they all build off of themselves. The first is (another) review of the book "Burn" by Herman Pontzner. Susan and I walk you through the really interesting parts of the book and some of the parts that aren't all that important.

We start the podcast off talk about Cardio why it should always be in the mix. Then we go into the "Burn" book from Herman Pontzer on why using exercise to lose weight is fools good. Lastly we do Q&A with clients. 

This isn't our traditional podcast format, it's a bit more low key exploring advanced ideas. Hope you like it.

We have tackled this topic in various podcast and every time we do people are shocked and frankly a little pissed off. After all, if you are tired, living on pots of coffee each day and you are doing it yourself based on bad diet information. Wouldn't you be more than a little mad?

If you have ever wondered what foods help you live longer? What is going to allow you to keep improving the gym (not to mention) all the other areas of your life you are actually wondering about the role Mitochondria plays in who you are and what you become. I had a passing knowledge on the role of Mitochondria so I intentionally stayed away from the research for this discussion with Susan. I know I say this a lot but this one is one of our best.

This was a great podcast where we first went over a file where a client met her goals and we went over what next and what the considerations would be as we hit each goal. There was more than once where I think our answers surprised the members listening.

Some of the topics included hormone therapy (at the end), how we address aging women with menopause and much more.

This is an audio recording I made of a popular post where I talked about why people eating mostly whole foods stall over time and what the fix is for that situation.

What we talk about in this podcast is not unknown and many sports dietitians have been doing this for a long time.

But it hasn't trickled down to the masses and in that way I think Eat To Perform is the first original concept in dieting in over 60 years.

If you are struggling reaching your goals or want to understand the most basic rule of dieting (that you shouldn't be dieting MOST of the time). Then this podcast is for you.

It should completely change your view of how diets work and why that is important.

It's been a while since we got a podcast out to everyone but this one is a doozy. We start the podcast on why you run, most people start running for various reasons with a small goal of getting better at running. Then we move to a case study of a client that is down over 40 pounds, she diets once a year and I have worked with her for about 7 years. As I talk through her evolution Susan walks us through the science of what is happening and why.

This was a real interesting, here was the premise, this was an Eat To Perform staff meeting. The goal of the meeting was to ask Susan's thoughts on various ideas related to the challenges that people new to fitness (or chronic dieters) have and how we can work to make things better.

We get this question a lot but we got this specific question this week and so we walked through it in depth.

The reality is what we say are the habits we help people build daily so that they can succeed.

So the answer is no, dieting should be the last option after you have tried all the things we have mentioned in this episode.
