There is a lot of talk about the impact that our diet has on our health. So much so that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has made it a central tenet to their “Make America Healthy Again” or MAHA agenda. A tenet that has led to insisting that medical schools teach nutrition as part of the core curriculum to physicians in the United States. A position that has been held for almost a decade among public health advocates and previous surgeon generals of the United States. A move, if done without bias of intent, I would be all in favor of, but MAHA bias ... well let's talk about that

Picking up the conversation that we started on how to build an exercise routine for continued success breaking through the misinformation within the narratives we tend use to form our perspectives about how to exercise, how hard we should exercise, and how we should progress our training in order to see improvements in our overall performance. Walking through how to incorporate some simple rules of periodization from the start so that we can build that routine to reach our fitness goals, see improvements in performance and become healthier along the way.

Please see our articles on the impact that duration has on effectiveness Biol Sport. 33:309-333, 2016. doi:10.5604/20831862.1212974 and on periodization to stop Yo-Yo dieting Sports Science in Health. 14: 517-530, 2018. doi: 10.107/s11332-018-0450-5
