Simply Not Easy

Are you addicted to the sweet stuff? The correct answer may not be a binary yes/no. There is a spectrum of how influenced we are by refined sugar. Similarly there is a spectrum to how motivated we are to change our relationship with it.

Today is all about nerves in functional movement. What happens when they don't move the way they were made to, what it means, and what we can do about it.

This is a true story. A crazy running challenge throughout the month of April was attempted and completed by a friend of mine. Tune in to hear of the insanity.

Any day I get to reconnect with nature is a great day. There are some moments more special than others. This was one of them.

Rooted in the present reality, dreaming of the future possibility, a valuable strategy came to mind. In this episode I dish this fresh idea out. Take it or leave it.

No matter what feild you're in, you can always learn more. We often need people to show us the way. To refine. These people don't always have to be in person/in front of us for this to be successful, especially in times like these with the corona virus. With such access to information and passionate people there is no excuse not to get the mentorship you desire. You need to find it and create it.

Do your knees ache? Have they ever ached before? Let's learn what you can do to put yourself back in control and alter the paradigms we are used to operating in. I share a story from a good friend of mine to show this success. I briefly reference an article from July 2019 in the Journal of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage by Fu et al. 'Mechanical loading inhibits cartilage inflammatory signalling via an HDAC6 and IFT-dependent mechanism regulating primary cilia elongation'. Don't worry, we keep this conversation focused in practical application.

Between cutting and bulking. They each have their seasons. Today is about cutting. This is for anyone who wants to loose weight while maintaining their muscle mass, now or in the future. I review a groundbreaking article published last month in March 2020 out of the Journal of Functional Morphology & Kinesiology by Campbell et al. 'Intermittent Energy Restriction Attenuates the Loss of Fat Free Mass in Resistance Trained Individuals. A Randomized Controlled Trial.' The irony of talking cutting season on Cinco De Mayo. The irony of this entire crazy year...

This episode is dedicated to all the people who spend hours of their health & coaching career helping people activate their serratus anterior, to all the people we have tried to help, as well as those in between who have no idea what we're talking about and would benefit from it anyway!

Hafthor Bjornsson, AKA 'The Mountain' just completed a new world record. He officially hit the world record for most weight deadlifted by a human, 1104lbs/501kg. An incredible accomplishment. All of Iceland should be proud. All people should be proud. Not only did he do it, he felt great doing it, and said he probably could have done a little more.
