The Silver Bullet Podcast: Targeting Fitness Myths and Lies

Today we finish off our talk about managing blood sugar and how we process a game plan with our clients. In the first episode we went into brief detail about the varying differences with pre diabetes, diabetes and what the differences present. In today's episode we give some specific details about what a healthy body and unhealthy body do when blood sugar elevates and why it reacts that way. Towards the end of this episode James and Colton talk about some key factors that helped their personal clients get a grip on their fluctuating blood sugar.

2/3 of our nation is expected to be overweight at some time in their life and obesity is a common driver for blood sugar related issues. Not to say it is the only way to have blood sugar issues, but it is definitely the most common. It is helpful to understand the basics so we are better prepared to help if the situation presents itself. Thanks for tuning in!

One of the many health issues we help our members navigate is elevated blood glucose numbers. A health screen tells us a lot about how our body is functioning from the inside. Elevated levels of blood sugar don't benefit our body in the long term and can actually lead to some serious health consequences. And, there is a great chance you have no idea if your blood sugar is unregulated unless you know exactly what to look for? So what do we do to help our members and what can you do to combat elevated blood sugar? Tune in and listen to this two part series were we cover the basic understanding of managing blood sugar and how insulin plays a crucial role. On part two we will bring up specific member examples about how we progressed their health journey: where they started and where they are now! Thanks for tuning in!

Today's podcast is focused on the simple things. How can we be pain free? How can we move well? How can we focus on our mental health? And how can we do this without overcomplicating the process? Many of us have heard the phrase "Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired," right? This is what sums up Angie and Rod Zeck. We sit down with Angie and talk about the process she has gone through thus far as it relates to the health in their household and how it's changed for the better since covid-19. With a very streamlined process, they have seen dramatic physiologically progress. Enough so, they felt it was necessary to talk about it!

Have you ever wondered how you could work so hard but never see change happen? Have you put hundreds of hours in the gym, but never see any physical change?

Here is your answer!

While there are many variables that could be at play, understanding how inflammation works and where it stems from is one of the major factors in promoting adaptation to occur in the body. Stimulus and adaptation, right? That's what we want. Provide a stimulus that forces the body to adapt! But what if it isn't adapting? What if the body cannot adapt due to chronic bouts of inflammation?

Listen in to the conversation with Dr. Wallpe as we discuss how inflammation manifests itself in the human body and how it is inherently supposed to help us heal and how, if left uncontrolled, could be the limiting factor in our ability to see physical change.

In today's episode, James and Colton dive back into your list of questions. We always encourage our audience to interact with us. Send us your questions or topics that you would like us to cover!

We are 3/4 through 2020 and if you're like most people, the thought of taking it easy and refocusing once 2021 gets here has probably crossed your mind more than once. Consider this a pep talk episode. Just because the holidays are coming doesn't mean that all hope is lost. But you need to identify the challenges before they get here. This means having conversations prior to engagements, establishing and redefining your current goals, and relaying those goals to the people you will be in most contact with when they holidays arrive.

From November to January 1, studies show that this period of time is the catalyst for body fat gain and overall weight increase. James and Colton cover some aspects of handling the holidays and how you can maneuver your actions, and your mind, into a position that will allow you to be successful. This may not be the information you want to hear, but it might just be what you NEED to hear.

Today we are kicking off our .38 special application section of our podcast by diving into the recent success of one of our Reclaim members, Emily Smoot. Emily is a high octane girl. She has an incredible work capacity, she is a successful leader in her work in sales and she has the full-time duty of being a mom to her two young kiddos. Emily has been with our facility for a few years and has developed into a new person each year it seems. She takes new, relevant information, and applies it to her life to reach for that "next" challenge that will yield her the results she is after. 

In today's podcast, Colton and Emily talk about her recent success with her nutrition. Specifically, how intermittent fasting ultimately became the "hang up" for her continual progress towards losing body fat. This podcast covers when her and Colton began to identify issues with her food, her food timing, and ultimate calorie consumption and how they tied in bio-feedback markers to determine their next best step forward. Within 10 weeks Emily had dipped below the 20% body fat mark- a goal she had set for herself for a long time. Simple adjustments to her food timing in relation to her workout and her overall understanding of physiology led her to see some incredible benefits in her nutrition. There is a lot a great information in this podcast that everyone could benefit from!

The supplement industry has us all grabbing and begging for the newest and most "effective" products that promise weight loss, body fat loss, and overall performance. What are the things that I should be taking? What are the things that I should avoid? Are some of these products too good to be true?

It is always an uphill battle for us when we talk to clients about supplements because everything believe that supplementation leads to those mystical accomplishments that they haven't experienced. Most of the time we have to take a step back and ask ourselves, why do we need this product and will it actually deliver something that we truly need?

In this week's episode, James and Colton dive into the supplement industry and talk about 2 categories of supplementation. Supplements for overall health and supplements for performance. Put those fast acting fat shredders in the trash and pick up some knowledge that will provide sustainable results!

If you talk to anyone who is starting a new healthy lifestyle, the topic about "diets" might come up. Which one are you trying? What does that diet let you do? What is restrictive about that diet? Does it allow cheat meals? Etc.. There is lots of information out there about specific dieting techniques with equally a lot of bogus claims of "fountain of youth" capabilities.

Today James and Colton dive into some very well known "diets" that have taken the health world by storm and give you some insight as to why they might be beneficial and also why they might be a total waste of your time. The summary of this podcast concludes that all diets are designed to yield specific results, but many of us only look for one outcome and will determine if it is good or bad...even if the diet, itself, may have done exactly what it was intended to do. Listen in and get a better understanding of what these common diets entail and which one may be beneficial for you in your journey towards health!

Everyone wants to over-complicate creating workouts. Specifically, workouts aimed at helping you lose body fat. Many people claim to understand workout structure but most of the time they are just creating workouts that enforce exhaustion and improper recovery. In the end, their goal is to make you sweat and hate your life... what direction is there in a program like that?

In today's Podcast, Colton and James cover how they have trialed and tested programming methodologies and how they ultimately settled on a program structure that focuses on 3 aspects: direction, proper recovery, and maximal loading. With those three features they are able to create a program that ensures sustainable results when it comes to losing body fat!

This is the main programming their facility utilizes and they have continued to develop this program for 3+ years. It isn't enough to create a workout that is meant to leave you dead on a daily basis. Instead, James, Colton, and the other coaches of Reclaim have taken the time to learn their members needs and implement a program that will benefit everyone. Picking a workout on instagram is like grabbing a random shoe and hoping it fits. Understanding programming needs and tailoring it to the client is like creating a shoe specifically for them.
