Free Fatty Friday #7: Halloween vs. Thanksgiving mindset Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

In October, I think Halloween, and in November, I think Thanksgiving. And these two holidays frame up the two poles across a mindset spectrum to contextualize and understand the challenging year of 2020. This week, we explore a proper mental framework to approach and engage the last two months of the year 2020.

I discuss history, natural selection, and a resilience mindset and encourage all of us to take a proactive, positive approach to not only persist these challenging times but come through stronger than ever. It's not enough to just survive; we're here to thrive and take over.

#174 - Geoff sits with police: what’s wrong with the cops today and can we fix it? Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

Most people never have a human interaction with a police officer — meaning that we very rarely have the chance to sit down and have a real human-to-human, informal, relaxed conversation about the role of law enforcement and law enforcement professionals in our society.

This week, we are talking about cops and explore the role of law enforcement in our society and how to grow and evolve this pillar of our community. Geoffrey Woo sits down with a reserve police officer and CEO of SPIDR Tech, a policing technology company, Rahul Sidhu to discuss current police & community relations, common questions that we have for police, and ways to improve the existing model.

Free Fatty Friday #6 with Geoffrey Woo Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

This episode of Free Fatty Friday, we're going to focus on questions away from our typical fare on human performance, metabolism, diet, nutrition, etc. We're going a bit more philosophical and psychological on motivation, time management, and culture.

There's about 2 months left in 2020. What are you going to get accomplished in the remaining time. Let's hear what Geoff has to say:

Q1 1:18 : I saw you were in Montana recently. It looked beautiful out there. I know a lot of people are now working remotely. How do you imagine the future of the office and workplace to look like?

Q2 9:20 : You are so knowledgeable on a lot of topics. How do you manage your time and what do you spend your time on these days?

Q3 17:06 : It's been a tough year for everyone. What are you most excited about as we wrap up the year 2020?

Q4 23:56 : How do you motivate yourself? Any tips to help us get over the hump or when we're struggling.

#173 - The Proper Human Diet for Optimum Health Oct 19, 2020

In this episode, Geoffrey Woo sits down with Dr. Ken Berry, the best-selling author of "Lies My Doctor Told Me", to discuss the proper human diet spectrum. They explore frameworks and parameters that may help us better understand the principles of human nutrition.

Free Fatty Friday #5 with Geoffrey Woo Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

We have a great lineup of questions this week. We cover topics ranging from lean mass changes in fasting; how glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrates, works in the body; various nuances and applications of the ketogenic diet for hypertrophy, and long-term longitudinal use; and target blood glucose fluctuations after a meal!

Free Fatty Friday (FFF) is a rapid-fire Q and A session with Geoffrey Woo, where he answers all your questions with a 5-minute cap on all answers.

Feel free to send your questions here: podcast@hvmn.com

Q1: 02:49 Very nice critique of the IF study. Any comments on the Lean Mass changes? Does it really make any sense?

Q2: 11:01 I have been wondering about carbs in liver. It is in the form of glycogen. Do we have digestive enzymes that can let us even access this? Is it available as a nutrient? When is a carb not a carb? When you can't use it.

Q3: 17:21 What causes insulin resistance? Why would the body resist something that is useful and why do some have no resistance and others do? I know the answer seems to be genetics and poor health but what is the mechanistic aspect of the resistance?

Q4: 22:25 For a ketone ester, are they the same ketones our body produces naturally or what? What happens if you chug the whole bottle?

Q5: 28:59 What's your view with alternate day fasting and hypertrophy training on feeding days?

Q6: 34:45 How much should blood glucose fluctuate after a meal?

Q7: 38:45 Can keto help build muscle? Is keto diet recommended for longterm use?
