The Garner Report

In this episode, I talk about some of the ways I mentally and physically deal with bad training sessions.

Look, we've all been there. Nobody ever "crushes it" every single time. 

If you're progressively overloading with your training, you're bound to run into a major block of mental, physical, and emotional resistance every now and then.

For those days, remember this episode. 

In this episode, I dig through the scientific literature to present to you four different foods that you can start incorporating into your diet today to improve memory, cognition, focus, and attention span.

Moreover, since they improve the health of the brain as a whole, there has also been plenty of data collected that they help prevent the progression/risk of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, depression, and the damage caused by inflammation in the brain.

Eating these four foods will put you in a great position so that you can be preventative rather than reactive in these health and performance-based scenarios. 

Enjoy!  

In this episode I outline some of the most common pitfalls I see within my lab analysis of both the vegan and vegetarian populations and offer simple solutions to fill in the micronutrient gaps so that you can improve your athletic performance, recovery, and overall health with this dietary approach. 

In this episode, I sat down... turned my microphone on and went on a 10-Minute rant.

6. What's the best magnesium? Also, how much should I take and when should I take it?

7. Are collagen supplements worth the hype?

8. What are the fundamentals of strength training?

9. What exactly is periodization?

10. How long do excess calories take to turn into fat? Does the timing of these calories matter?

11. In what context would you use a habit-only approach with your clientele?

12. How accurate do my calories and macros need to be?

13. If you could build an app, what would it be?

In today's episode I tackle the most comprehensive study ever conducted on wearable fitness technology and provide you with my thoughts on if these are great, good, neutral, or terrible ideas for your health. 

As always, there are both positives and negatives here, but, listen to this podcast so you know what to use and what to throw away in terms of your quantifiable data. 

Enjoy!

If you have ever struggled with your relationship to food, to the scale, to your body, to the gym, or with the health and fitness industry as a whole -- then this one is for you. 

Tune in and listen to my top 5 tips to heal your relationship with food and put you on a path to true mastery of health and wellness. 

In this episode, I break down several research studies and explain them in plain terms to articulate why it's not always the smartest idea to use intensity percentages in your training program design. 

MANY coaches use the intensity percentage prescription model as a way to program how much you should be doing. As I get further into my career in both experience and sports science knowledge, I am getting further and further away from this overly simplistic approach.

In the end, I provide a conclusion and a new way of thinking to change the way you approach program design.
