Nutrition coach Jason Phillips joins us for this episode.

Serious strength, aesthetic, and health goals can seem to require very different nutritional strategies, but what are the things they have in common?

Here’s what we came up with: How often do strength athletes use their goals as an excuse for bad eating habits? Is it food choice or food quantity that matters most? How is “health” defined?

Jason Phillips is the founder of iN³ Nutrition and the Nutritional Consulting Institute.

Eating for strength, aesthetics, or health: How are they different? w/Jason Phillips

Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.Business inquiries: Jim@thejimmcd.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/50-facts-with-silent-mike-jim-mcd--5538735/support.

If short lifters can use blocks under their feet in competition, why can’t tall lifters use a taller bench? That’s just one example, but when you take a closer look there are definitely some things that don’t make sense.  We also talk NBA, Taylor Swift, local crime, and bidets.  Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) ran the board and chimed in on this one.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?

Ryan Thompson found his way, and you might find yours, too

Recent studies (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/02/new-science-of-death-brain-activity-consciousness-near-death-experience) show that the brain is furious with activity in the minutes after death. Areas of the brain that don’t generally work together suddenly team up, and the visual cortex is particularly active.If your brain is going to show you a burst of images immediately after the rest of your body has checked out, what would you want to see?   Avi Lieu (@avi.lieu) and Sebastian Brambila (@sebastian_brambila) are in on this one.  Do you have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?
