Are you confused about exactly what to eat for optimal health AND physical performance? You’re not alone. I’ve been studying nutrition in college and on my own for over 17 years…and I still get confused at times! It’s no wonder. A search on Amazon for “diet books” yields over 200,00 results! There’s so much conflicting information… “Eggs are good for you.” Vs. “Eggs raise your cholesterol and will clog your arteries.” “Carbs are evil.” Vs. “You need carbs to train hard and build muscle.” “Protein is essential for building muscle.” Vs. “Eating meat will give you cancer and ruins the environment.” It’s leaves you frustrated, confused and feeling like, “Screw this nutrition thing, it’s too complicated!” It doesn’t have to be this way. And you don’t have to be a “diet zealot” who practices an almost religious adherence to a particular nutrition philosophy. And there’s no need for you to beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the perfect nutrition plan that makes you look AND feel great! I get result

My "9 Biggest Myths In Fitness Debunked" episode did so well that I was asked to do another similar episode. A listener asked "Ok...now can you hit the 9 most important principles worth actually listening to ...as of 2016 ? As a person attempting to get it right it is an absolute 'separate job' to filter through the enormous magazine, internet, product marketing jungle to real answers ...other than the obvious step one 'move your a$$' and step two 'more often'...just saying." In this episode, I cover "The 7 Most Important Training Principles For Getting Faster Results." If you listen and apply the principles in this podcast, you won't have to have a separate job just to filter through all the fitness information out there!

Overwhelmed by the vitamin aisle? Are you confused about which supplements are worth your money and which ones are not? Here's what your body needs—and can really help you upgrade your health and improve your life. Have you ever stepped into the supplement aisle of any pharmacy -- or, worse yet, health-food store -- and got confused if so many health claims. In this best supplements series, I’ll answer all your questions and go into supplements that I’ve personally tried and have scientific evidence to support their effects. I’ve been using supplements for over 20 years, and I love experimenting with them. I’ve built more muscle, recovered faster, reduced my stress, improved my sleep, and more from using supplements. But one of the key lessons I’ve learned for all these self-experiments is that no supplement can make up for a bad workout program, improper recovery, a crappy diet and lack of sleep. So if you don’t have the basics dialed in, then that’s where you should start. But if you’d like to know which su

Stress. Almost everyone I know seems to have too much of it. You’re lying in bed with your mind racing because you feel so wired that you can’t sleep. Or maybe it’s during the day when you feel anxious, overwhelmed and unable to meet the demands of your life. These are signs and symptoms of stress. And according to the American Psychological Association, the average level of stress has risen since last year with more people reporting feeling that they’re under extreme stress. I know because my stress levels became so great that I ended up in the ER after I thought I was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a panic attack. And after my blood tested negative for a heart attack and echocardiography stress test, the cardiologist determined it was just extreme stress. So I’ve been there. To honor National Stress Awareness Month, I’ll share 11 ways you can relieve stress that you can start today.
