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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

On this Sunday with Susan we talk digestion and mainly address food elimination or food avoidance and how to strategically add back in some foods that can really make a big difference as it relates to going to the bathroom more regularly.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

If you have a child that plays athletics in the hot conditions you HAVE to watch this. In the 2nd episode of Sunday's with Susan we talk about carbohydrates role in hydration, which electrolytes to use and how much. I guaranteed a large part of this conversation will be new to most people listening

It's probably not the gluten and you likely aren't inflamed, this is what is happening-Sunday's with Susan Episode 1 Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Susan Kleiner works with some of the biggest names in all of sports (as well as regular folks looking to improve the life through food. We decided to tackle this topic first because we believe that a lot of the information out there related to gluten and inflammation is incomplete.
