Eat To Perform Podcast

Prepping for the Holiday's (it's not what you think) Oct 30, 2024

This was a great discussion on how to keep weight off during the holiday's but with an interesting twist. The focus was the REAL reason someone actually gains a lot of weight during the holiday's. Statistics show that holiday weight gain is minimal, unless the scenario we talk about happens.

The Q&A discussion was also amazing and we tackled a lot of topics like "why weight keeps coming back"

Are Artificial Sweeteners bad for you? That depends.... Sep 30, 2024

This podcast explores what role Artificial Sweeteners might play in your life (if any).

What this episode dives into is a good, better, best way of viewing Artificial Sweeteners and food.

We also delve into the role that Continuous Glucose Monitor can play as it relates to Fat Loss.

The FIVE supplements I take and why you might want to consider them Aug 28, 2024

There are FIVE supplements that I think almost everyone should take, this is my list.

As we go through the show we explain why some are optional and some need alternatives for certain people.

Flexible Eating Should not be Optional Jul 30, 2024

In this episode, we walk through the value of flexibility in most things, but especially food, which means that for a lot of people, a mindset change is necessary.

Consistency doesn't mean rigid and why that is important Jun 27, 2024

In this episode, Becky and I review what consistency looks like.

For a lot of people, consistency often equals rigidity.

We make the case that it isn't just wrong but that consistency should have a certain amount of flexibility built into your plan.

The missing piece everyone gets wrong and how you can use summer to change everything May 24, 2024

In the first part of the podcast, Paul discusses what ultimately became Eat To Perform and how he accidentally stumbled onto the idea after ten years of dieting.

The second part of the podcast is how to use that information and plan what kind of summer you want to have using various scenarios that people encounter.

This was a fun podcast with a lot of great information.

Over 13 years, here is what we have learned about SUMMER (plus the new GLP-1 study) May 20, 2024

Becky and I (Paul) start the podcast by discussing the new study, including which parts are applicable, what is missing, and how to interpret the data for your goals.

Next, we walk you through what we used to believe, why we changed our minds, and what we think is the best way to go through summer (including allowing some weight gain)

Food noise is HUNGER and the history of Weight Loss Meds Apr 25, 2024

Paul and Becky start the podcast by talking about why the concept of "food noise" (a relatively recent concept) is being used as a weapon against people.

A similar is being done with the concept of insulin sensitivity.

Once they broke through that noise they tackled the idea that these meds are new (they aren't) and familiar tropes influencers are using to sell WLM's or discourage people from using them.

How to keep your hard earned progress as calories return Apr 01, 2024

With spring and summer on the way many people have worked hard in various cycles to make BIG progress.

Here is what you need to know to keep all of that progress.

How hormones help, what you should expect and a little Q&A at the end that was enlightening Feb 28, 2024

In this episode, Paul is joined by one of Eat To Perform's lead coaches, Crystal. The goal of this podcast was to talk about what you should expect when you get on hormones and why it won't ALL be positive from day one. (they also go over how weight loss works)

They also covered some of the negatives of weight loss medication, how to counter some of those issues and why or why not it might make sense for some people.

How Fat Loss Cycles are down for the best results (and when can you push the needle a bit) Feb 25, 2024

In this episode, Paul and Becky explain why ALL fat loss cycles need a defined period.

They also give various examples and how adding Weight Loss medication changes things (though both look very similar)

Flexible Dieting, how to deal with plateaus and when NOT to diet Jan 11, 2024

Alan is a former trainer and nutritionist who has worked with well-known clientele. He is likely better known for his research and his research review. Alan has written what I believe to be the bible of flexible dieting (basically what we do at Eat To Perform), and I have been a subscriber to his research review since 2008.

This is a great podcast that ultimately ended up being too short.

Re-evaluating goals for 2024, HRT and Weight Loss meds discussion Jan 04, 2024

We covered a lot of ground in this hour, specifically on how to set goals and adjust them based on things OTHER than just weight loss (with a focus on fat loss). We also discussed how HRT and Weight Loss meds could fill a role for some and who should probably avoid it.

Using the holiday's for a mini bulk with Paul and Becky Nov 24, 2023

First we walk through what a TRUE bulk looks like, which this isn't and we typically don't do at Eat To Perform. The simple fact is most people don't want to gain 30-40 pounds to gain muscle and I literally can't recall anyone asking for that.

So while this isn't that Paul walks you through how to use a bit extra weight over the holiday's to train in a way that might carryover for the rest of your life as the best way to do it.

Happy Hour-Surviving the the Holiday's with Paul and Becky Nov 20, 2023

This was a lively session with a few questions. We went over whether or not Intermittent Fasting makes sense, how to use exercise when calories are higher and much more.

How long should AP be (reset between FL1 and FL2) and why this is important (and the best time to do it) Nov 02, 2023

In this episode Paul and Becky walk you through AP cycles, why they exist and why we made a pretty drastic change a few years ago (and it made a BIG difference).

Update from Paul's Fat Loss cycle with Semaglutide from Eat To Perform Health and discussion on Mental Health and eating less Oct 30, 2023

Paul is currently weaning off of Semaglutide and updates on the complications, how much he lost and considerations people should think about before signing up.

Next we talked about why and how Fat Loss cycles can upset your mental health and what we did to help with that. Also addressing the opposite where depression can get accelerated by eating more.

Two weeks into Weight Loss Medication, what is happening and why Oct 04, 2023

In this episode I talk about going onto weight loss medication. Why I think a lot of the information out there isn't empowering people for real change and what is the vision I have for Eat To Perform Health.

Setting up the perfect Fat Loss phase Aug 29, 2023

As we move into the fall people often switch to thoughts of putting the pieces back to together. In this episode Paul and Crystal take some Q&A but also give thoughts on the best way to do it including whether or not you are rushing it.

Comparing notes on Mental Health with Paul, Becky and Eat To Perform members Aug 18, 2023

We call these sessions "happy hour" because we do them WITH Eat To Perform members and you can interact with other members about their struggles. This months topic was Mental Health and it was a good one!

Eat To Perform Health episode with Jessica, Paul and Becky (HRT and Semaglutide were discussed) Jul 13, 2023

This was a Q&A we did with our Eat To Perform Health partner Jessica. We covered a myriad of topics including her weight gain after body building. Questions related to HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and weight loss medications and we went over a handful of questions on why you should get blood work even if you aren't going to do HRT.

Is it time? Your Fat Loss options in the middle of the summer Jul 04, 2023

Let's face it, I know it's not the middle of the summer but it feels like it and if the scale is up you want to know your options. Here they are in detail.

Comparing notes on Hormone Replacement with Paul and Becky June Happy Hour Jun 24, 2023

The podcast starts off with Becky's experience with testosterone pellets and then clients that are using hormones or interested start to give their experiences. There were a few questions sprinkled in related to the need for resets and why each client DOES NOT have a calorie goal as calories go higher.

Lastly the show ends with Paul's experience on testosterone, gaining 10 pounds of muscle when muscle growth had seemingly stopped and trying to once again set expectations for what it's like but more importantly what it definitely isn't.

Surviving Summer: What NOT to do (is it ok to do Fat Loss during the Summer?) Member Q&A May 26, 2023

Paul starts off with updates on LIFETIME and then dives right in to the topic of Surviving Summer. He covers why you need to take advantage of opportunities during the Summer, why you NEED strength training and talks about Set Point Theory.

If you have been around Eat To Perform for sometime you know that building a runway is important. The key is keeping calories higher but staying relatively weight stable. In this podcast we walk you through what that looks like and some tips that coaches use to keep things in line along the way (without drastically pulling down your plan).

Interesting Performance case studies from both Susan and Paul-Performance Series Part Three Sep 09, 2021

When you deal with literally 1000's of people at a time there are a lot of great examples you come across.

For this episode Susan and Paul share a few of those stories.

How different sports need different nutrition requirements- Part Two of the Performance Series with Dr. Susan Kleiner Sep 09, 2021

What we do in this episode is walk through how different sports require different ideas in terms of performance nutrition but all are similar. More is typically better.

How that "more" gets used is what we talk about.

Performance 101, Part One of a Three part series-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Sep 09, 2021

We decided on a recommendation that it was time to deep dive performance nutrition. If the goal is to match your work activities with your nutrition, this should be enlightening on a lot of levels.

How to prepare for an upcoming Fat Loss cycle and some Q&A-Paul Nobles and Becky Avara (Lifetime Power Hour) Aug 31, 2021

The two most important times as you go into a fat loss cycle are the weeks going in and the weeks coming out. Becky and I walk you through that in this podcast.

We also had a lot of great discussion about the future of Eat To Perform and where we hope to grow in the future.

How to be more proactive and less reactive and hit BIG goals- LTP with Paul, Becky and Carolyn Aug 07, 2021

If we know that diet adherence is one of the biggest reasons people fail then you have to create an environment on how to achieve the most success. The best way to do that is to plan to have success by taking a proactive approach.

We also do a short Q&A at the end.

Mistakes we made along the way and one off scenarios - Sunday's with Dr. Susan Jul 28, 2021

Part of learning what is right is about making a few mistakes along the way. In this episode Susan and I talk about that and what we learned and then we walk through some one off scenarios that people might find interesting.

For 99% of people simply normalizing calories fixes a lot of problems. We thought it would be fun to walk you through the other 1%, what we did in those scenarios and why.

Diet Adherence is one of the biggest issues facing anyone looking for long term results- Sunday with Dr. Susan Jul 28, 2021

This is Part 2 of this 3 part series. In the first part we walked you through why 1200 calories is more of the problem than the solution.

In this one we walk you through why most people failing is happening as a result of program issues (not always the fault of the client).

I think once people hear EXACTLY how much thought went into how we set up our cycles it will really illustrated the difference between a well thought out plan and just eating less for as long as possible.

1200 calories is often the problem, not the solution - Sunday's with Dr. Susan Jul 28, 2021

This is the first of what is a three episode series. If you can listen to them in order I think it will make more sense.

A big part of this podcast was devoted to the fact that many science friendly programs blame clients when their program doesn't work. The suggestion being that if 1200 is prescribed and the person has a couple of sticks of sugar free gum that's the problem.

We walk you through the problem with the study they are using that supposedly proves this and what the real problem people are facing.

Live coaching Q&A, lots of great topics with Becky Avara, Carolyn Mele and ETP co-founder Paul Nobles Jun 27, 2021

This one is a little different than our noob podcast so we get a lot more advanced questions. There were so many people in this one that we couldn't do a topic.

We went Q&A from bell to wire. A lot of great stuff.

How to deal with business travel and vacation with ETP coach Jeff Raiders (and Paul Nobles, Carolyn Mele and Becky Avara) Jun 27, 2021

Let's face it, when you are at a hotel, there is no scale and you are eating at restaurants it can cause you to panic. So we asked ETP coach Jeff Raiders what he does and he brought up a lot of great ideas to help in these moments.

We also had a short Q&A featuring why you should consider eating right before you go to bed.

If you are NEW to Macros or Eat To Perform here is more great info (June 2021) with Eat To Perform co-founder Paul Nobles, Lead Coach Becky Avara and ETP coach Carolyn Mele Jun 18, 2021

So many great questions and answers came out of this live coaching call with new Eat To Perform clients. We covered everything from hormone replacement to menopause/andropause and everything in between. Even if you aren't new this is great info and I think you will like it.

Part 3 Weight Watchers changes it's name and the emergence of NOOM-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jun 14, 2021

Shortly after Oprah buys a sizable stake in Weight Watchers they change their name, Susan and I examine why.

But let's not kid ourselves, this episode is about NOOM. The science they are ignoring and how they are treating dieting like a commodity and tactics they are using to acquire clients. It's not all bad but the part that is good is just a version of pieces we have known for a long time.

The rest is subtle manipulation that borders on overt coercion in order to accumulate clients without a firm understand of the math and science.

Part 2 Jack LaLanne, Richard Simmons, the birth of BodyBuilding and Bill Bowerman writes a book on jogging-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jun 14, 2021

Early fitness really starts with Jack Lalane, his show and his television appearances. Then came Richard Simmons, jogging and the birth of less is more.

Here is what we know now in retrospect.

Part 1 of The History of Dieting and Fitness, first up is Weight Watchers-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jun 14, 2021

Susan and I were talking the other day and thought it might be interesting to talk about how we got here with dieting. First up is Weight Watchers, the early days. The problems they were trying to solve, their evolution and what we know about that experiment.

No single company has been scrutinized the way Weight Watchers has, here is what we know.

Rediscovering Whole Grains, which ones and why they are so important with Dr. Susan Kleiner - Sunday's with Dr. Susan Jun 07, 2021

Ok, now that the secret is out that it's not about macros it's about calorie average both up and down people often ask me, which foods they should add back as food starts to come back.

Surprisingly for some (including me, I talk about it in the podcast) Whole Grains is a great option.

Maybe most importantly Susan walks you through why having a PRE biotic to go with your PRO biotic is a game changer, what it does and how it does it.

This was a really fun podcast and I learned a lot.

When to run a Mini Cut and most importantly, when to NOT run a mini cut - Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner May 25, 2021

I was talking to a relatively new friend and he mentioned that he had done SIX min cuts in about a four month span. Which is not how you do mini cuts.

So we devoted this podcast to mini cuts, the very rare use case they make sense but also the COST of making that choice (which is the part my friend above isn't considering).

If you are NEW to Eat To Perform here is what you need to know - with Becky Avara, Maria Mattos and Paul Nobles May 13, 2021

I never know how these are going to turn out but in the moment this podcast felt amazing. So many good questions. One thing that I think happens a lot when you have been doing macros/nutrition coaching is that it's sometimes difficult to reflect on what it was like in the very beginning.

So if you are new, confused and a little overwhelmed. This should help. It won't cook your chicken for you but it will give you some great ideas on staying prepared and maybe to chill out a bit, especially in the beginning.

I also give you the one tip that can get you rolling from Day ONE!

Sugar addiction and Cravings and how to deal with them - Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner May 06, 2021

I think this one came out great. What we go into are the condition that make you crave hyper palatable foods (for some people it's nuts) and what to do to stay ahead of it and take back the power.

LPH Don't Sleep on Fats and an Interesting Reverse Dieting Scenario-With Paul Nobles Jr., Becky Avara and Carolyn Mele Apr 25, 2021

LPH stands for (Lifetime Power Hour) this is a podcast we do monthly for our lifetime clients where we delve into advanced topics.

In this one we talked about the value of fats going up when calories are higher for endurance athletes and people that spend hours working out.

In the second piece I walk people through an advanced Reverse Dieting scenario where the client will likely land at the same weight where she started. OVER AND OVER AND OVER. All the while. building more muscle and getting leaner along the way.

When calories come back they need to come back FASTER and not slower with Eat To Perform founder Paul Nobles Apr 16, 2021

This is really an advanced discussion so if you are new to Eat To Perform some of what I am going to talk about you won't have experienced yet. That said, it's natural as calories are coming back to be scared. After all, you just worked hard and ate less for a while but what we know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the faster the calories can come back the better it is for your metabolism to return to normal. The slower you draw out that process the longer it's going to take to get out of "diet hell" and get things back to normal where your metabolism is functioning normal.

I do apologize, I was doing this one alone and towards the end I mentioned two things (they were reminders of things I brought up during the discussion) but I forgot the second one and so the podcast ends awkwardly as a result. You didn't miss anything, I simply didn't emphasize the second part that we had already discussed. So keep that in mind.

Why calories need to normalize and what specific numbers are we talking about-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Apr 08, 2021

This is the last and shortest in the series. We walk you through what normal calories look like and build in some ideas related to age. If that sounds optional you need to understand that reaching your big health and even physique goals will be compromised if you get this part wrong.

Why Yo Yo dieting is so bad and how to avoid it-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Apr 08, 2021

In this episode Paul walks you through his diet history, what good things he picked up along the way and a lot of the bad that was unnecessary. Susan then walks you through the science of why it is all important. This is the second in a 3 part series that build off of each other.

Does your watch actually show you your calorie Burn?-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Apr 08, 2021

We are going to upload three episodes in a row here but they all build off of themselves. The first is (another) review of the book "Burn" by Herman Pontzner. Susan and I walk you through the really interesting parts of the book and some of the parts that aren't all that important.

Why exercise isn't great for weight loss (review of Burn book by Herman Pontzer) and re-thinking cardio for muscle gain-Lifetime Power Hour March Mar 28, 2021

We start the podcast off talk about Cardio why it should always be in the mix. Then we go into the "Burn" book from Herman Pontzer on why using exercise to lose weight is fools good. Lastly we do Q&A with clients.

This isn't our traditional podcast format, it's a bit more low key exploring advanced ideas. Hope you like it.

The strange relationship Cortisol has with carbohydrates and why you can't sleep-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Mar 23, 2021

We have tackled this topic in various podcast and every time we do people are shocked and frankly a little pissed off. After all, if you are tired, living on pots of coffee each day and you are doing it yourself based on bad diet information. Wouldn't you be more than a little mad?

Whether your goals are big or small CELL HEALTH plays a bigger role than you might think- Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Mar 14, 2021

If you have ever wondered what foods help you live longer? What is going to allow you to keep improving the gym (not to mention) all the other areas of your life you are actually wondering about the role Mitochondria plays in who you are and what you become. I had a passing knowledge on the role of Mitochondria so I intentionally stayed away from the research for this discussion with Susan. I know I say this a lot but this one is one of our best.

Lifetime Power Hour, long time member Q&A with Paul Nobles, Becky Avara and Carolyn Mele Feb 28, 2021

This was a great podcast where we first went over a file where a client met her goals and we went over what next and what the considerations would be as we hit each goal. There was more than once where I think our answers surprised the members listening.

Some of the topics included hormone therapy (at the end), how we address aging women with menopause and much more.

Just eating whole foods or eating clean has a problem by Paul Nobles of Eat To Perform Feb 26, 2021

This is an audio recording I made of a popular post where I talked about why people eating mostly whole foods stall over time and what the fix is for that situation.

Deep diving why people plateau and what everyone should know about dieting but DON'T-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Feb 22, 2021

What we talk about in this podcast is not unknown and many sports dietitians have been doing this for a long time.

But it hasn't trickled down to the masses and in that way I think Eat To Perform is the first original concept in dieting in over 60 years.

If you are struggling reaching your goals or want to understand the most basic rule of dieting (that you shouldn't be dieting MOST of the time). Then this podcast is for you.

It should completely change your view of how diets work and why that is important.

Why you run, how to get better at running and why your food is probably REALLY off-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Feb 10, 2021

It's been a while since we got a podcast out to everyone but this one is a doozy. We start the podcast on why you run, most people start running for various reasons with a small goal of getting better at running. Then we move to a case study of a client that is down over 40 pounds, she diets once a year and I have worked with her for about 7 years. As I talk through her evolution Susan walks us through the science of what is happening and why.

Coaches Q&A (ETP member you really want to check this out, even non-members)-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jan 07, 2021

This was a real interesting, here was the premise, this was an Eat To Perform staff meeting. The goal of the meeting was to ask Susan's thoughts on various ideas related to the challenges that people new to fitness (or chronic dieters) have and how we can work to make things better.

Should my teenager go on a diet - Sundays' with Dr. Susan Kleiner Dec 19, 2020

We get this question a lot but we got this specific question this week and so we walked through it in depth.

The reality is what we say are the habits we help people build daily so that they can succeed.

So the answer is no, dieting should be the last option after you have tried all the things we have mentioned in this episode.

"You aren't in a calorie deficit" is often wrong and incomplete-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Dec 16, 2020

"you aren't in a calorie deficit" is the new Paleo. It's a very simplistic answer to what is sometimes a complex problem.

The problem gets worse when "science friendly" sites and blogs never address the real problem with being in a calorie deficit too often. So 90% of their content sounds like "you aren't in a calorie deficit" and the other 10% sounds like "pizza is totally fine".

If you have been on every diet for the last 20-30 years and you can't figure out why your body is so stubborn this podcast will help you.

Paul's Recent Mini Cut (read fat loss, mini cut's aren't magic) with Dr. Susan Kleiner Dec 06, 2020

I will walk you through my mindset, I think even if you are a long time Eat To Performer you will find a few nuggets you like.

Because my last Fat Loss cycle was 2 years ago, the current (and best version) of Eat To Perform was new to me. This was my experience.

All in Diet Review, the Very Good, the Okay and the BE SUPER CAREFUL! Nov 15, 2020

If you follow any Health and Wellness advice on YouTube you have likely seen some reference to Stephanie Buttermore's "All in" Diet. Stephanie is a former bikini/physique competitor that got a lot of followers with her EPIC cheat meal videos from the past. As a cancer researcher in real life as she moved more towards health and wellness her ALL IN diet is the first thing I have seen come along that looked THE MOST like Eat To Perform. The biggest difference being the need to gain weight to recover (she openly talks about gaining 30-35 pounds from her bikini competition days).

So in this episode Dr. Susan and I walk you through the stage Stephanie is in, why she is recommending what she is and give some perspective on what we will be the evolution of her concept. One thing I hope comes through is that we are fans of this type of information and I routinely share Stephanie's videos.

Noob Q&A with Dr. Susan Kleiner, Paul Nobles ETP Founder and Lead Trainer at Eat To Perform Stephanie Burke Oct 26, 2020

We covered a wide range of topics starting with why noobs fail and why 15 minutes a day for the first 7 days is a game changer. We went in depth on PCOS, what we see and why we think that happens. We also walk through how your training should change as you go through each phase.

How to lose weight, keep it off and never diet again with Dr. Susan Kleiner-Sundays's with Dr. Susan Oct 04, 2020

To start the podcast I walk listeners through every detail of how I lost 100 pounds and then I walk everyone through the years after. Susan provides the science of why it worked and why it's a better approach than other methods.

What you don't know about inflammation is what is really hurting your progress-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Sep 28, 2020

Inflammation is STILL the current boogeyman which makes no sense because there is a very big difference between inflammation and CHRONIC inflammation. Susan walks you through how to tell the difference.

The role pregnancy plays in dieting around pregnancy and long after-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Sep 13, 2020

Susan starts out the podcast talking about the fires affecting the Pacific Northwest and then we get down to business. We start off with why I think pregnancy often sends women down a dieting rabbit hole and why and then we give real data to make the point. Whether you are about to be pregnant or it was a while ago check this one out.

Towards the end of the podcast Susan and I start talking about women and strength and I begin to personalize it to me and my situation. Susan confronts me about that and from that point on we get into a great conversation about change and the discussions related to change. Too often these kinds of discussions either don't happen or are polarizing. One thing I didn't say in the podcast but I texted Susan later was this "Thanks for pointing that out, real change shouldn't be about how it affects the people outside of the issue at hand. That only distracts from the issue at hand."

One of the reasons why I think this interaction is important is because you have to surround yourself by people that are willing to speak up and challenge you and your opinions.

How important is sleep for Fat Loss?-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner (quick hitter) Sep 07, 2020

We have done a of podcasts on the importance of sleep and why you need to make it a priority in your life. This is the "highlights" version.

The nutrition and mental side of the World's Toughest Race-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Aug 31, 2020

Susan has worked with a few adventure racers and if you haven't watched the show yet one of the aspects they didn't spend a lot of time on was nutrition. That said the part they did it was very clear the role that carbs played.

Other topics covered:

Why adventure racers need more muscle and fat on their bodies for the race.

The mental part you NEED to complete a race like that.

Towards the end we talk about how quickly the new mom recovered from her pregnancy to participate in the race.

Why you don't gain weight when food comes back (Thermic Effect of Food)-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner (kind of Quick Hitter) Aug 12, 2020

This was supposed to be part of our short series on the Thermic Effect of Food but once we got into the episode we realized there was a lot to talk about. Everything we said led us down another rabbit hole. If you want to understand your metabolism, why and how it works take the time to listen to this.

When should your workouts change to maximize Fat Loss-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Quick Hitter #2 (LISS Edition) Aug 03, 2020

When you talk about weight loss there are some important distinctions that need to happen. Certainly when you lose weight you are losing some combination of fat, muscle and water. How you workout and when pushes things either in the right direction or the wrong direction (maximizes fat loss compared to water and muscle).

If you switch to long workouts too soon and avoid certain workouts you will push your body to losing more muscle and water. That's what this podcast walks you through.

Cortisol Belly, No Sleep and the strange relationship with Carbohydrates-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Quick Hitter Aug 02, 2020

Cortisol is a hormone that its heart is meant to tear down tissue. Insulin's role is to build tissue. The problem you run into when you start adding stress on stress on stress. Think, dieting, low carb and working out a lot under fed you are sending a signal to your body that will affect your body's levels of cortisol, wake you up in the middle of the night and your workouts will be awful.

That's what Susan talks about in this important episode that honestly no one talks about. People talk a lot about Cortisol without giving you the key to the anecdote.

Here you go!

What is Metabolism and everything you need to know about Online Calculators-Sunday with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jul 19, 2020

Metabolism is strikingly easy, Susan and I walk you through that and go into Metabolic Rate a bit and the factors involved.

In the second half of the podcast we talk about all the things you need to because in case you haven't figured it out you can't push the numbers in and in 4 weeks poof you are down 20 pounds.

In this episode we explain why.

What's better for weight loss long term 1800 calories or 1200 calories- Sunday with Dr. Susan Kleiner Jul 03, 2020

This was the result of a poll that I posted on Facebook. What was interesting about it is that everyone got the answer right but didn't always know why. Susan and I broke it down in this episode which ended up super interesting.

Nutrition For Busy Parents hosted by Megin and Matt Sharp of KidStrong and ParentStrong Jun 08, 2020

I am a big fan of KidStrong and ParentStrong for young families. Megin and Matt asked my to come and talk to their parents about their nutrition but I also brought some tips from when my kids were young. As you can probably tell we are good friends so I think that made the conversation more enjoyable and hopefully fun to listen to for all of you.

If you think this is about ABs you couldn't be more wrong-Sunday's with Dr. Susan May 31, 2020

This weekend my Brother in Law passed away. The obituary will say he died of a heart attack but he essentially died of fear. My family was robbed of more years with him because he believed in shortcuts and googled too much.

Because of that we lost a great person who didn't want to do a scary thing and didn't want to listen to the truth.

I suspect many of us out there deal with this and often embrace bad ideas out of fear. The message of this podcast is do the hard thing because people need you in their life.

You think you might need to do something to get things back in order, here are our thoughts-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Apr 26, 2020

It feels like we have turned a bit of a corner but everyone is in a different place. Susan and I talk about the various scenarios and the small changes that can really make a big difference.

We also had a great discussion about weight and self worth and try to give some thoughts and perspective on that concept.

Scott Hall on building muscle, motivation and internet haters Apr 19, 2020

Scott Hall is a lifetime member of Eat To Perform and we feature him a lot on the main page. He is also one of the head coaches at Kansas City Barbell. His transformation was incredible and he talks about why he thinks it happened so fast and the motivations that made that happen.

We also talk about Testosterone Replacement (whenever we put up a pic of Scott everyone screams STEROIDs, so we talk about that) and the difference between going to a doctor to address a deficiency and Steroids.

The part that I found the most interesting was the discussion on motivation and why people often need big events to make great chance.

Supplements 101 with Driven Nutrition owner Jason Rule Apr 11, 2020

We HIGHLY recommend Driven Nutrition and if you are looking to give them a try use the bonus code ETP for 20% off.

This came out SO good. Much of the industry gets super bored with the basics and foundational information but with no clients entering the market every day the fundamentals are often missed.

Here are some great examples we talked about:

Why Collagen is not a good source of protein and no one else is saying that. Note Jason sells collagen in some of his products so I thought his take on it was really interesting.

Why just eating real food often means you fall short on crucial macros and micros.

How to get your kids the right amount of nutrients in foods they like.

More Hormone Replacement talk with Gil Tal of Next Level Dietetics Apr 05, 2020

Show notes: Once again this is not about female hormone replacement but many women also suffer from low testosterone as they age so I think it can be informative for women also. The most important part is to find a practitioner that mostly does hormone replacement.

One of the more popular podcasts we did in the last year was with Gil on hormone replacement. In this episode we dive deeper since I am 3 months into Testosterone Replacement Therapy. I go into why I started and what the changes are that have happened thus far.

One of the big reasons I am trying to be so open about this process is because many people don't use a doctor with some really bad results. As Gil talks about even USING a doctor that isn't familiar has pitfalls.

Gil also does a great job explaining what happens once you start taking testosterone towards the end of the podcast with great and super informative detail.

Freestyling with Susan-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Mar 29, 2020

We normally like to have a topic but at the end of the day we all know what that topic would have been. Susan and I felt like we all needed some relief from "virus talk". That isn't to say there isn't virus talk but we covered a lot of topics including "what's it going to take for women's sports to become more popular" and the contrast to how men and women view sports. We also talk about what the post virus world might look like where Susan and I both share what makes the world really great stories.

What to eat and what to do around Coronavirus and COVID-19 with Dr. Susan Kleiner Mar 14, 2020

The major topic we covered was immune system health but we really dove deep on why super extreme versions of popular diets like low carb or intermittent fasting is a REAL BAD idea right now. The part that Susan does on cortisol alone is a must listen to anyone sleeping less than 7 hours a night.

Is genetic testing ready to determine how you should eat? Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Mar 08, 2020

In this episode Susan breaks down the claims of genetic testing and we walk through why and when it helps. We also go into food sensitivity tests and she gives a few ways that will ensure you are getting the correct answer (that will actually help).

How to know what CUSTOM really means -Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Feb 24, 2020

This will actually be a two parter. The first turned out to be what custom means for Susan in her private practice and what it means for us here at Eat To Perform. At the end of the day a lot of this comes down to price. As we talk about if someone is advertising a service for $19.95 one time it's probably not very custom at all. We walk you through some ideas on how to figure that out.

Creating Performance Nutrition-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Feb 09, 2020

This one is long over do but with the industry mostly focused on weight loss Susan wanted to study sports nutrition and for the most part it did not exist. Susan walks us through those early days and some of the pivotal moments she has been involved in over the years.

I first heard of Susan because our message was similar and really stood out compared to the narrative of less that dominates health and wellness blogs, pages and channels. The problem is that most people aren't dieting most of the time (or at least that's how it should work) and that's how Susan and I's path eventually crossed (with a little help from Molly Galbraith for Girls's Gone Strong).

Professional Athlete's internal dialogue will surprise you-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Feb 03, 2020

I was listening to a podcast with Sarah Blakely the owner of Spanx and she brought up something very important to me. "you have the ability to change how you think". I brought that idea to Dr. Kleiner and asked her if she noticed how her professional athlete's talked to themselves and how that might differ from the way normal people do.

And that's how this podcast happened.

Fat Loss Tip Quick Hitter-Should you consume alcohol during Fat Loss? Jan 10, 2020

This is actually a video I did on the main page but it was very popular and it's only 6 minutes long. This also talks about a big change in the way that we viewed alcohol here at Eat To Perform and goes along with our members only Dry January challenge. (ignore the plan part I mention, if you want to talk to a coach about a plan simply go to www.eattoperform.com and we can help you there.

Changes you need to Diet and Exercise around Menopause Dr. Susan Kleiner-Sunday's with Susan Jan 08, 2020

This podcast is an addendum to Susan's article on menopause. She goes a bit more into the science piece (trust me, it's not too nerdy) and walks you through the pitfalls of dieting all the time and removing a lot of foods that can help you through menopause.

Eating Disorders in both children's sports and with adults, what to look for- Expert Panel hosted by Dr. Susan Kleiner (bios in episode description) Dec 20, 2019

With headlines related to both eating disorders and what is a coaches responsibility when working with an athlete spreading around social media we wanted to do an expert panel to dive into the topic. The discussion evolved into the mindset required to maintain a healthy life and perspective as it relates to how we ALL view weight. For coaches and people that work with athlete's this was meant to be a resource that you could you use to inspect your own biases and how becoming more aware of those will make you a better coach. Lastly let me say that just listening to this discussion was a dream come true for me and if you like what you hear please share because these topics affect a lot of people.

"Fixing sleep is akin to stopping smoking, it has that big of an affect on your health"- Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Dec 15, 2019

Fresh off her visit to Singapore Susan brings us back some great information on sleeping. If you haven't listened to the pod for the last 8 years this is a drum we have been beating the whole time. If you recall for the last 3 years I worked exclusively on sleep and had EASILY my best FAT LOSS cycle where I lost 20 pounds and was able to sleep well 90% of the time.

Set Point Theory (or why you seem to hit a weight loss wall) - Sundays with Dr. Susan Kleiner Dec 08, 2019

I have seen a few people WILDLY misinterpret Set Point Theory so this week Susan and I tackled that as a topic. One of the more interesting parts of the discussion was some recent research that might explain why elite athletes's manage their hunger and weight better than the average person (trust me, it's pretty interesting).

Have we overlooked the value of Whole Grains? Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Nov 25, 2019

This was actually the first interview I did with Susan and neither of us had any idea the reaction it would get. Let me step back for a second, Susan is a PhD and a Registered Dietitian and wrote the best seller Power Eating which is now in it's 5th edition (called New Power Eating and it's awesome). Susan works with some of the most famous athlete's in the world and yet just mentioning the value of whole grains is controversial. One caveat I will says is that she is not talking about ALL whole grains but she goes over that in the podcast.

As I mention in the podcast I subconsciously gave up on whole grains and adding them back in on Susan's recommendation and to say that it has made a difference doesn't properly describe the value to my life. It's really been eye opening. If you aren't saddled with dogma and faux science I think you will enjoy this one.

Nike Controversy, Female empowerment movement and the role that diet plays in that-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Nov 17, 2019

We wanted to take a few days to really think about how we could add to this topic because if you saw the video it was super compelling and heartbreaking. Partly because people viewed Mary Cain as different from them. She is an elite runner, maybe you aren't. And what role does diet play for your children that play either weight restricted sports or sports where weight is a factor.

The argument for adding plants to the way you eat without the confusion from Game Changers-Sunday's with Dr. Susan Kleiner Nov 10, 2019

I can't walk down the street without someone asking me what my opinion is of the move Game Changers on Netflix. Sadly the reason people will start eating more plants isn't the reason they SHOULD and for most people this will become yet another thing that fails them.

So what Susan and I tried to do was set up the parameters for success without the excessive hyperbole and over reach from a scientific standpoint.

All about Intermittent Fasting around your workouts (and a whole lot more) Oct 26, 2019

Most people don't know this but my "come uppance" in the nutrition world was done by building intermittent fasting protocols around workouts. It's something I have researched a lot. This podcast turned into a lot more than that though, here are some examples: The rules related to times are basically useless, working out fasted is not truly fasted if you ate the night before. Then of course the most important part is the exact amounts you eat coming out of a fast and how to avoid some of the pitfalls.

Dieting can really mess up digestion, these ideas will help-Sunday's with Susan Episode 4 Oct 20, 2019

You likely aren't broken with Dr. Susan Kleiner-Sunday's with Susan episode 3 Oct 13, 2019

The trend of telling people they are broken is old as time, once you can convince someone they are broken and you are the answer you can sell them virtually anything. With 30 years experience Susan hasn't seen a lot of broken people, what she has seen OFTEN are people trying to bang their head against a similar rock over and over again.

All about Hydration, just drinking water won't cut it for active people-Sunday's with Susan Episode 2 Oct 06, 2019

De-mystifying Testosterone Hormone Replacement and Fat Loss with Gil Tal Aug 03, 2019

A lot of ground got covered in this episode but some of the highlights were the differences between illegal testosterone usage and prescribed amounts. But it was much more than that. Gil is a matter of fact talker and really just dropped a lot of science bombs along the way. If you are a man you HAVE to listen to this, if you are woman its also great information to have.

Remember why you started that thing and the reason you did.... Jul 12, 2019

Mini Cut Part 2-how to adjust if you think things are too aggressive Jun 30, 2019

The main topic was supposed to be a discussion on weighing yourself daily but Paul's update on his adjustments during his mini cut took up a lot of the time. Both topics are likely to be very interesting to most listeners who have ever failed at dieting and just quit because it was too hard.

How To Lose The Most Weight In Two Weeks Jun 23, 2019

People often wonder why I have cohosts since I talk so much, this episode shows why. I think the content is great but we had various distractions that are difficult to deal with. So suffer through that stuff because the content is that good. So this podcast is about two week mini cuts using intermittent fasting. This basically allows you to be more aggressive and pushes the uncomfortable part to the beginning of the day since you don't want to go to bed hungry. I get VERY specific about every little thing, even why I weight myself twice a day, so keep that in mind. Some of what you will be hearing are the little tips and tricks that most services charge a lot of money for.
