Hello everyone!

Welcome to the WPB Health Consulting Podcast. Where we bring clarity to coaching.

In 2017, the mission to bring clarity to evidence-based health coaching was created.

WPB Health Consulting’s mission is to bring clarity to coaching and consulting practice. WPB stands for Wellness, Performance, and Bodybuilding.

How is by developing and elevating health coaches and clients education and practical application.

This is done by our coaching service and podcast!

Our coaching service:

Will empower you and be in constant contact to uplift you toward your goals.

Our podcast:

Will provide FREE evidence-based coaches in all areas of life.

By doing so, coaches and clients will bring clarity on how to communicate and elevate their health habits through evidence-based practice.

On Today's podcast:

1. Dominic Kuza's journey with competitors this year.

2. Common themes of diuretic use you are seeing within the competition community

3. Defining Diuretics and their mechanism of action:

The three types of diuretic medications are called thiazide, loop, and potassium-sparing diuretics. 

All of them make your body excrete more fluids via urine.

Understanding Thiazide diuretics:

Thiazides are the most commonly prescribed diuretics. They’re most often used to treat high blood pressure. These drugs not only decrease fluids, they also cause your blood vessels to relax.

4. Thiazides are sometimes taken with other medications used to lower blood pressure. 

Examples of thiazides include:

chlorthalidone

Hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide)

metolazone

indapamide

5. Understanding Loop diuretics

Loop diuretics are often used to treat heart failure. Examples of these drugs include:

torsemide (Demadex)

furosemide (Lasix)

bumetanide Bumex

6. Potassium-sparing diuretics

Potassium-sparing diuretics reduce fluid levels in your body without causing you to lose potassium, an important nutrient.

The other types of diuretics cause you to lose potassium, which can lead to health problems such as arrhythmia. Potassium-sparing diuretics may be prescribed for people at risk of low potassium levels, such as those who take other medications that deplete potassium.

Potassium-sparing diuretics don’t reduce blood pressure as well as the other types of diuretics do. Therefore, your doctor may prescribe a potassium-sparing diuretic with another medication that also lowers blood pressure.

Examples of potassium-sparing diuretics include:

Amiloride

Triamterene (Dyrenium)

Spironolactone (Aldactone)

Eplerenone (Inspra)

7. Discussing the dangers of nutrition and monitoring potassium intake with diuretic use

8. Discuss the effects of the longevity of bodybuilding and diuretic use

I cannot thank our listeners enough for their support as we have had listeners from over 6 countries in 2020. Hello, my name is Austin I will be your host today.

As many of you know if there is a lack of support it can end in poor outcomes. Add on being hangry during contest prep, and poor communication strategies, and it can end in disaster.

We have gathered a team of individuals’ to discuss how to communicate and ask for support during contest prep. We have two couple’s here today. One couple is an IFBB bikini bodybuilder and a carpenter. The other is two other NPC competitors. Each one will tell their story on what it’s like to support each other during contest prep, and competitions. Stay tuned for an exciting discussion on how we bring clarity to coaching!
