Notable quotes

• “The thing about humans that is different from any other animal on the planet is that we eat diets that we are not biologically designed to consume.”
• “After the industrial revolution in the 1700s, many people were disconnected from producing food and became consumers. This caused an increase in food processing, making it more dangerous.”
• “Most plant toxins occur in the seeds, nuts, grains, and legumes. Soaking and fermenting help with reducing the toxins.”
• “Liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.”

Having just started his professional career, he was suffering from brain fog, fatigue, and a variety of other symptoms that he later learned was from an exposure to toxic mold. Jay had always been interested in health, so when he came across the field of health psychology and psychophysiology, he knew he wanted to focus his attention on the connection between mind and body.

What is Ketone-IQ™️ ? Ketone-IQ™️  is a new daily ketone supplement developed by H.V.M.N. It provides energy from ketones, a source of metabolic fuel like glucose or fat.   Ketone-IQ™️ contains R-1,3-butanediol (R-1,3-BDO). R-1,3-BDO is a drinkable ketone that can raise blood ketone levels when consumed. Elevated blood ketone levels are linked to benefits for mental focus, endurance, recovery, and more.   Each bottle of Ketone-IQ™️ contains ten 35ml servings, and each serving contains 10 grams of ketones. We do not recommend taking more than 3 servings of Ketone-IQ™️  per day.   Save with my podcast code- LOWCARBATHLETE and try it out for yourself.   Watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/OiR0hgu7UBI   Resources mentioned:

Notable quotes

• “Ketone IQ is a drinkable ketone designed to be taken daily to support mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic health.”
• “When you have ketones for the endurance exercise and glucose, you are creating hybrid fuel where you can tap into the metabolism of carbs and ketones.”
• “Your body evolutionary has the enzymes and hormones needed to metabolize ketones. So, if you drink ketones, you can rip the benefits and get energy out of it.”

What is LEA? Low Energy Availability.

A concern for the female athlete who is striving to improve fat loss and performance gains… sometimes too much!

What is Energy Availability?
Energy availability is the amount of dietary
energy remaining after exercise, available for
other physiological functions such as growth,
muscle recovery and homeostasis.
Low energy availability (LEA) occurs when
the calorie intake of an athlete is insufficient
to meet the energy required for daily living
plus the demands of training. Energy intake
should never drop below resting metabolic
rate.

 

If we have insufficient energy on board to meet demands of daily living (BMR, TEF and Exercise)… we are left without enough energy reserves to our essential metabolic functions.

Originally from Canada, where she grew up cross country ski racing at a competitive level, she is now based in New Zealand with her husband and two children, and with them enjoys kitesurfing, surfing, mountain biking, and skiing. She is a Senior Physiologist at High Performance Sport New Zealand, and has worked the last decade with numerous Olympic medal winning sports. Her PhD looked at novel applications of heat training to enhance performance in elite athletes, and she led the New Zealand heat strategies for both the Rio and Tokyo Olympics.

Julia continues her research interests through ongoing projects examining heat training, cooling strategies, optimising elite female athlete performance, and most recently, accelerating return to performance in athletes suffering from long COVID. She recently founded Impact Factor, which is an online consultancy service using the art and science of physiology to optimize training, recovery, and performance strategies in high performance athletes (website to come!).
