Muscle Intelligence — Longevity, Training & Human Performance with Ben Pakulski

No matter what your goal, learning and skill acquisition are major bottlenecks to success. But what if you could reduce the time it took for you to learn? Our guest today, Dr. Daniel Chao has spent his career doing just that!  After graduating from Stanford Medical School with an MD in neuroscience, Dr. Chao started developing tech that primes your brain for learning. The result... Halo Sport.

In this episode, Dr. Chao and Ben dive into how learning happens in the brain and more importantly how we can influence it.  They discuss the mechanism behind Halo Sport's success and how they have improved it for the soon to be released Halo Sport 2. 

If you would like to pre-order the Halo Sport 2, use the code muscleintelligence for $20 off the already discounted pre-order price!

Ian Mitchell runs a small lab in rural Oklahoma with major implications. Over the last 7 years Ian has been extensively researching a carbon isotope called C60. In that research Ian has found some wide ranging implications including super-charging mitochondria, reduction in inflammation, detox benefits and some amazing effects on rheumatoid arthritis and even a way to augment cancer treatment!

Welcome back to part 2 of our carnivore deep dive with Dr. Paul Saladino! In this episode we pick up right where we left off with how plants use sometimes not so subtle toxins to defend themselves from predators. The conversation continues through the best fats to consume and ends with a rapid-fire round of everything from meat quality to supplementation to whether fish count as meat on a carne diet.

• How animals/humans are PC's and plants are Mac's: The operating systems are different. [3:00]
• How much data has he looked at that quantifies the benefit of exogenous polyphenols from an antioxidant perspective? [12:00]
• A rundown of misconceptions around fiber. [18:30]
• The rules he lives by when it comes to glycine and collagen consumption. [32:30]
• His thoughts on monosaturated fats and adding to carnivore diet? [36:15]
• If he had to make an argument for eating some plants, what would his defense be? [39:00]
• Would he weigh the negative implications of poor quality meat against eating vegetables? [41:30]
• Do fish count on a carnivore diet. [42:00]
• Does Dr. Saladino take any supplements to support his carnivore diet? [44:00]
• Are there any limitations to the carnivore diet? [46:00]

Is it possible to live a healthy life eating only meat? Dr. Paul Saladino makes a very strong argument in support of the Carnivore Diet in today's episode. Dr. Saladino brings a mass of studies to back up the argument that humans run optimally eating only animal products. But... there is a catch... in order to balance all of your required nutrients you must consume what he refers to as nose to tail, eating from many parts of the animal including organ meat, ligaments, tendons and even bone. Let us know what you think of this paradigm challenging episode! Part 2 comes your way on Monday!

Alicia Gowans has faced her fair share of adversity on her way to the top. Before she won even her first pro show, let alone title, Alicia dealt with a severe back injury that still plagues her to this day. Alicia has over come unimaginable obstacles on her way to her 2 championships and has used those experiences to create one of the best teams in the world. In this episode we dive into the mental fortitude Alicia developed while training with chronic pain, the necessity of celebrating the journey as well as the wins, and how she has found physical relief in confronting her emotional barriers.
