Krush Performance

This week on Krush Performance, The War on Sugar continues with a special episode looking at new guidelines coming out of Canada that will help redefine the issues surrounding what is one of the greatest concerns facing global healthcare: obesity.

We are joined by Dr. Aria Sharma, Professor of Medicine and Past-Chair in Obesity Research and Management at the University of Alberta. Dr. Sharma is the founder and Scientific Director of Obesity Canada, a network of over 10,000 obesity researchers, health professionals and other stakeholders.

The new Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines were authored by more than 60 health professionals, researchers and individuals living with obesity. Together, they assessed well over 500,000 published peer-reviewed articles and built consensus on a wide range of clinical and scientific issues to identify 80 key recommendations.

The new guidelines are about refocusing our attention and efforts. They are about the quality of life…..NOT a number on a Scale.

They contain key messages for people living with obesity, as well as key messages & recommendations for healthcare providers and policy makers so we can move forward with clarity and purpose.

We also discuss important upcoming Krush episodes looking at the impact of COVID-19 on our youth, our fall series focused on the brain, and we continue to fuel the Krush War on Sugar with some incredible guests sharing powerful information.

The post Krush Performance: Breaking Down Obesity – It’s Not Your Fault! appeared first on Radio Influence.

Sometimes we just like to talk sports. Following professional athletes and breaking down pro sport can provide great context for planning your development strategies. Whether you are one of the world’s top performers looking to get better or if you are among sports next generation of game-changers, stepping back and having a good look at the world of professional sport is a perfect way to calibrate your perspective.

Today, we do just that.

With the return of pro sports, we’re talking sports with Krush favorite, Allan Mitchel (AKA: Lowetide), host of The Lowedown on TSN and Contributor to The Athletic. We have a good look at the return of pro sports, stories to watch, and things to look forward to.

Then, we go to another Krush favorite in a preview/teaser of our series looking at the Brain Game and what the future of human performance might look like.

The brain is perhaps the most complex organism in our known universe. Good news, we all have one. Tough News, we are only starting to understand how that thing really works.

If you listen to the show, you know we strongly believe that the brain holds the secrets for pushing human performance to new levels.

To set the stage and get us all thinking about the implications here, we need to first get an idea of how the brain works or at least how we think it works based on what we know at this point.

We are joined by Tim Nicely, founder of V-Flex Sports. Tim is a thought leader when it comes to brain performance and he gets us thinking. Not only is he on a quest to better understand how the brain functions but he has also been creating tools that “Feed Forward” the potential of better brain performance.

It’s a fun and fascinating episode of Krush Performance as we talk sports and set the stage for our upcoming series on the Brain Game.

We need your help. Should there be an addition to the Krush Top Priorities For Performance?

The post Krush Performance: Could There Be A New Addition To The Top Krush Performance Priorities? appeared first on Radio Influence.

This week on Krush Performance, we take a quick look at the return of professional sport and we get back to the battlefield in the Krush War On Sugar. Get set for a fast-paced, jam-packed conversation as we talk with Krush favorite, Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Chief of The Biomedical Research Glycemic Research Institute.

We take a deep dive into the true science of nutrition and how your body and brain react to the food and beverages you consume and look at why the Glycemic Index is so important, so misunderstood, and so underappreciated, why are all calories are not equal, and the true implications of the Glycemic Load and Insulin Index.

Understanding these concepts is critical for truly fueling performance and it goes much deeper than we first realized.

We’re talking about bio and brain energetics, energy metabolism, and the very latest on metabolic coding, the science behind how your brain and body respond to the fuel you put in your body.

We cover what you need to know about the food you eat and how it impacts your performance in sport & life and we get some expert advice on what you can do right now to better fuel your body and brain.

The #KrushWarOnSugar returns with a vengeance as we look at the real science of fueling performance how your body actually handles the fuel you consume.

What are you thinking? What you think about directly influences how you perform! Unfortunately, most of us are thinking of the wrong things at the wrong times.

This week, we talk to Krush favorite Dr. Jacques Dallaire of Performance Prime as we reflect on his forty-nine years in the world of top performance and all of the performance issues top performances face and what we have learned to help them overcome the roadblocks and hurdles to perform at the highest possible levels.

What do you control? What is out of your control?

There is a simple formula that Dr. Dallaire uses to help us understand what is important and deserves our attention and what is not important and sabotages our efforts.

We unveil the “Holy Grail” of human performance with Dr. Jacques Dallaire….. and it’s not what you think.

The post Krush Performance: Performance Professionals – Tapping Into Your Performance The Right Way? appeared first on Radio Influence.

This week, we breakdown the incredible complexity of athlete and talent development and talent ID. We are joined by Dr. Joe Baker, Sport Scientist from York University.

How do genetics and environment influence what we become…how good we become and I ask the question: “Is Talent Real?”

If we can get a clear idea of what talent really is, can we get better at developing talent and identifying future potential? Collectively, we are not all that good at predicting future talent and potential.

Could it be we looking at the wrong factors? The wrong variables? Is predicting talent simply too complex and unpredictable to be predictable?

We find out as we discuss all of this and more on this week’s jam-packed episode of Krush Performance
