 Richard Thurman III and Nat Viranond are Strength and Conditioning Coaches out of San Francisco, CA, and they join me today to dispel many misconceptions surrounding movement. We talk about:

• How to improve joint health and why it matters for athletes and non-athletes
• Does fitness make you healthy?
• Differences between flexibility and mobility, and why it matters for YOU?
• Should everyone squat to 90 degrees?

They even take a philosophical approach to movement which blew my mind.
They are well versed in Functional Range Conditioning, also offer virtual Kinstretch classes which may be the hardest bodyweight training that you'll ever do.

Recently a new documentary came out on Netflix. It's called "The Game Changers" and it advocates for a plant-based diet as being optimal for health, performance, longevity, and moreover, claiming that eating meat raises inflammation and causes cancer.

There were plenty of research studies cited, but are they valid? In this episode I breakdown how misleading the claims are, how they misrepresent science, and explain why and how many can see a benefit in switching to a plant-based diet. I also talk about:

•      Differences between randomized controlled trials and epidemiology and why it matters

•      Why athletes and people in general feel better switching diets

•      Why being dogmatic is stifling us and how to prevent that

•      Were the Gladiators Plant-based?

•      The REAL cause of inflammation

•      Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio, and why too many omega 6’s can be problematic

•      m-TORC and IGF-1

•      Elevated homocysteine levels with b12 deficiencies 

•      Why heme-iron shouldnt be demonized

And much more.

Where in the world have I been the last few months!? Let me tell you..

In this episode I recap what I’ve been up to the last few months, life changes, grad school, and what I’m currently working on moving forward.

I also dive into a few different topics that I’ve been looking into and will continue to expand upon.

A brief overview of nose and mouth physiology, and why you should breathe through your nose, and less-so through your mouth.

I talk about #moremeatmondays and why meat is wrongly vilified, as well as the recent guideline recommendations concerning meat from the Annals of Internal Medicine, which stated that “the panel suggests that adults continue current unprocessed red meat consumption (weak recommendation, low-certainty evidence). Similarly, the panel suggests adults continue current processed meat consumption (weak recommendation, low-certainty evidence.”

Why there’s more to consider surrounding whether or not to eat at night? The effects of time or circadian rhythms on digestions and how it can affect our sleep and our health, and much more!
