Total Fitheads

Dr. John Jaquish is a scientist, inventor, and author, and an all around surprise. We talk about why weightlifting is a waste of time, the topic and subject of his book, as well as the X3 system of variable resistance training he's developed. We talk about why cardio is also a waste, the right kind of diet for everyone, fortagen, dry fasts, carnivore diet, osteoporosis, and why you should be doing a 1 rep max all the time.

Group workouts are coming back! We talk through our favorite (and most hated) workout classes and why. We've taken so many boutique workout classes: CrossFit, SoulCycle, hot yoga, Orange Theory, F-45, boxing, kickboxing, Barry's, Training Mate, BeSpun, dance and more.

This episode we talk to Dr. Amir Reuveny, founder of Wesper. For more than 20 years, Dr. Amir Reuveny watched his father struggle with poor sleep. Millions of people suffer from bad sleep, but due to the lack of easy sleep testing, many never get feedback and support on sleep wellness. Enter Wesper: An at home sleep test paired with a virtual consultation with our sleep specialist. We talk about best sleep practices for the best recovery. Good Night!

How do we recover from our workouts? Max and I drink CBD beer and talk sleep, massage guns, foam rollers, stretching and everything in between. Carbs or protein after a workout? Supplements? We also talk through what doesn't work!

Coach Christine - Precision Nutrition certified nutrition coach - talks with us about macros (cabs, fat, protein), hand portioning, cutting, reverse dieting, periodization, yo-yo dieting, tracking and lots more. Do you need MyFitnessPal? Do you even need to track? Can you be flexible while still losing weight? She gives us the top tops for the easiest way to kickstart your healthy eating.

TRAVEL!!! We might be traveling again soon (knock on wood) and this week we talk about how to stay healthy and on point when you're on the road. Ali goes through her tips for finding a CrossFit satellite box, Max talks about getting seasick and carsick and airsick, and everyone loves staying hydrated! Are you planning any trips? How do you feel about traveling? Let us know in the comments! #FitHead

We talk with Sergeant Noah Galloway about his fitness journey from youth and later rediscovery after he was forced to adapt with only two limbs after an IED attack during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He's a motivational speaker, wrote a book, "Living with No Excuses: The Remarkable Rebirth of an American Soldier", has been on Dancing with the Stars, American Grit, Ellen and more. We cover everything from giving advice in the gym to golf to his charity!

This episode, Ali explains how to track your macros!  Back up... First off, Ali explains what macros are (macronutrients) and what you track (proteins, fats, carbs) and how it really does change your life and liberate you in a fun way using... math.  But hey, Abs are made in the kitchen! 

Maysa Hannawi has her doctorate in physical therapy, coaches CrossFit (CF L-1), is an athlete herself and offers in-person and online coaching/training and rehab. We talk with her about good gyms and bad gyms, how to program efficiently, mixing in accessory work, overuse injuries, dry needling, cupping, this year's CrossFit Open, her Women in Fitness webinar and much more.

Total Fitheads are ready for summer... After our cutting diet. Or bulking some more. Or maybe just eating clean. Normally we'd already be at our summer bodies by now but the lockdown has everything messed up. We talk DEXA scans, water weight, clean eating and even Max getting his first muscle up!
