Welcome back to another installment in the Best of Stacked 2020 Series. This show is a sequel to my previous episode on nutrition and today I turn my attention to the topics of gut health, ancestral diets, healing mushrooms, and specialty coffee. As always, my guests have a wealth of knowledge and information to share and we dive into some interesting subjects, such as the complex and hugely beneficial impact that NAD, AMPK, and glutathione have on our health.

Today, I share some Q&As from a recent call with members of The Tribe. We talk about how a breastfeeding mother’s diet affects her baby, the best grounding techniques to do when it’s freezing outside, toxins and radiation in the home, and how to move from guided to non-guided meditation.

After 10 months in Europe, I’ve finally arrived back in the US and, since neither Emilia nor I experienced any jet lag after our journey, I want to talk about my approach to long-haul travel and share some of the hacks that helped my family, my dog, and myself move from Europe to the US without too much disruption to our health, our sleep patterns, or our stress levels.

TRAEGER GRILLS
Träeger Grills have changed the game of grilling, BBQ’ing, baking, and smoking with their all in one, pellet burning, wi-fire technology that you can control from the palm of your hand — I just cooked the most fantastic thanksgiving turkey ever on my Traeger using their recipe and their app. As I was cooking I was constantly pouring melted butter over the turkey but if I wasn’t doing that I could have done it all from my phone. I used hickory pellets, smoked the bird for about 4 hours; Then switched the grill with one click to a 375 oven for another hour. All the while tracking the internal temperature of the turkey from my phone. CRAZY! 

And tis the season for purchases like a new grill for the grill master in your house, especially since we are all cooking more at home right now in 2020 - this is absolutely worth the investment. So head on over to coachjoedi.com/traeger for the exact grill I use at home and to access any special offers Traeger is running right now heading into the holidays.

This week, I sit for a second time with Dr. Stuart McGill, one of the world’s leading experts on lower back pain, health, and high performance. Dr. McGill is the author of several bestselling books on treating back pain and preventing injury and he is a professor emeritus at Waterloo University where he taught for over 30 years. As well as being a respected clinician and an acclaimed academic who has had hundreds of articles published in peer-reviewed journals, Dr. McGill is the Chief Scientific Officer for Backfitpro Inc, which provides assessments and exercises for people with painful back injuries. In my previous podcast with Dr. McGill, we talked about his work in professional baseball and discussed who was at most risk for lower back injuries. 

In today’s show, we pivot from baseball to golf, and Dr. McGill shares some of his recent research that reveals that relaxation, not strength or power, is the key to a successful golf swing. In addition to explaining how to relax faster and swing better, Dr. McGill emphasizes the importance of hip mobility and talks about some of the biological features that can affect sporting performance. He also shares some spine saving strategies and divulges details of his weekly training program.

Today, I discuss how many of the things we do to our bodies in the name of health, such as Wim Hof-type breathing, fasting, immersing ourselves in cold water, and training intensively, are inherently stressful. However, when these activities are carried out in a safe and highly controlled environment they can create positive adaptations in the body and lead to significant improvements in our health. We just have to build up to these practices gradually and remind ourselves that more doesn’t always mean better. In this AMA show, I focus on the significant role that rest and recovery plays in our training and, in light of my imminent return to the US, I tackle the subject of avoiding jet lag and maintaining a high level of health while traveling.
