Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize full-body workouts for consistent strength training
Full-body strength training three times a week is superior for busy people, as missing a session doesn't mean neglecting a muscle group for the entire week.
Utilize backloading calories for social and family flexibility
Saving the majority of daily calories for the evening meal is more of a practical life hack for social and family flexibility than a strictly scientific health principle.
Incorporate carbohydrates for effective high-intensity recovery
Early CrossFitters on the Paleo diet lacked sufficient carbohydrates to recover from high-intensity training, leading to HPA axis dysfunction, also known as adrenal fatigue.
Beware keto's impact on athletic performance and recovery
Even with fat-adaptation, a long-term ketogenic diet can lead to thyroid dysregulation, decreased testosterone, and longer recovery times for athletes.
Prioritize health over extreme leanness for longevity
Maintaining a very low body fat percentage with visible abs year-round is a significant stressor on the body and is not synonymous with longevity.
Start testosterone replacement therapy early to combat hormonal decline
Due to severe hormonal decline from anorexia as a teenager, fitness expert Jason Phillips has been on testosterone replacement therapy since he was 20 years old.
Leverage herbal testosterone boosters for energy and libido enhancement
Herbal testosterone boosters likely work by increasing energy and libido, creating a positive lifestyle feedback loop, rather than by directly causing a steep rise in testosterone levels.
Understand legal boundaries: nutrition coaches vs. dietitians
A nutrition coach is legally breaking the law if they provide a prescriptive meal plan, as that scope of practice is reserved for registered dietitians.
