How To Use HRV

I don’t like to be plugged into stuff all day long. It just makes me feel like a giant robot (and being constantly plugged into things like bluetooth devices just gives me the tin-foil hat wearing heebie-jeebies). But I do religiously take one simple measurement every single morning: heart rate variability. #292: How Many Carbs Make You Fat, How To Know If Fitness and Nutrition Research Is Good, How To Know If You Have Toxins and Much More!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download Last year, in the podcast episode “The Unforeseen Costs of Civilization And What You Can Do About It.“, I spoke to author Spencer Wells about the world of genetic testing and gene research.

How To Use Genetic Testing To Personalize Your Workout And Diet.

In just one year since that episode, we’ve come a long way, baby. Even though the popular genetic testing service “23andme” seems to have had a bit of a slapdown from the FDA when it comes to releasing specific health information, that doesn’t mean you can’t still go get tested by 23andme (a simple salivary test that costs $99) and then export that data to another service that will give you targeted health, fitness and nutrition information. My guest on today’s podcast, Andrew Steele, is British Olympic athlete in the 400m and the 4x400m relay (runs the 400 in 44.94 seconds) and has represented his country at European Championships, Commonwealth games, World Championships and Olympic games.

Using Heart Rate Variability Testing to Track Your Stress. Why Cholesterol Is Good. Are you confused by what your cholesterol levels really say about your health?

Why Cholesterol Is Good

Do you wonder if all the exercise and healthy eating you’re doing even affects your cholesterol numbers? Don’t you wish someone could just spell it out in simple English and tell you what, if anything, you need to do to improve your heart and overall health? Blame the Bugs: How Stealth Pathogens Are Making You Fat, Tired, and Brain Dead. When most of us hear the phrase “caught a cold” or “dealing with the flu”, it conjures up images of runny noses, fevers, loss of appetite and a general sense of malaise.

Blame the Bugs: How Stealth Pathogens Are Making You Fat, Tired, and Brain Dead

But not many of us think about the fact that the same pathogens that can cause a cold or give us the flu can also make us fat. And these pathogens not just make you fat, but also tired and brain dead. See, it’s not the actual pathogens causing a sickness that make you feel crappy. Pathogens are simply not strong enough to do that. How To Become A Health Coach. Download the MP3 I am often asked how somebody actually gets to the point where they can help people have better health – particularly when it comes to the eating part. After all, even if you don’t have the resources to attend medical school and become a physician, we still live in an era where you can become a personal trainer, nutritionist, dietitian, or health coach and still be able to help lots of people achieve better health, live longer and feel better.

So in today’s podcast, I interview Maria Marlowe (pictured right), who is certified through the “Institute for Integrative Nutrition“, which is the world’s largest nutrition school. Maria graduated at the top of her class, summa cum laude, from Fordham University with a BS in Finance and Marketing. After landing a coveted finance position after graduation, she quickly decided that industry wasn’t for her, and pursued her passion for the healing power of food.

How To Use Heat Exposure. Download the MP3 I go to the sauna once a week, and often twice a week in the winter. I get a huge pile of the magazines or journals I subscribe to, like ESPN, Fast Company, or Mother Earth News (and sometimes even grab a book I don’t mind destroying) then settle in for a good 30-45 minute sweat session. After about 25 minutes, it get pretty tough as my heart rate and core temperature rapidly rise, and I eventually get so hot that I have to quit reading – and then I simply switch to staring at the wall and doing deep, meditative breathing to sit things out for as long as I can. I pretend I’m some kind of ancient warrior sitting in an Indian sweat lodge, or a prisoner of war tossed into one of those heat torture chambers. Then I take a cold shower and I feel amazing. I’ve used this strategy to train for everything from racing Ironman in the lava fields of Hawaii to preparing for a tennis tournament in a stifling indoor tennis courts stadium.

As my toes dug into the Spanish sand, part of my body anticipated the blasting air horn that would start the 2012 Long Distance Triathlon World Championships, and send me sprinting out into the water for a grueling 2.5 mile swim, 75 mile bike and 19 mile run. The other part of my body was messed up.

My eyes were bloodshot from severe lack of sleep, my gut had a deep gnawing pain, and my usually sprite pre-race muscles felt drained and empty. No, this was not a result of a nasty Rioja wine drinking binge, too many Café Largo’s the night before, or some kind of stomach bug. It was simply me experiencing the same sub-optimal state that has been described to me over and over again by athletes who I coach, whether during a training workout or before an important race: that dead feeling of being completely exhausted and unable to dig when the workout or race intensity begins. What Happens When Your Digestion Goes Wrong But the gut is way more complex than that tiny sentence makes it sound. 2. 10 Rules for Becoming an Ancestral Athlete. Welcome!
