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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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.
