Competing VS Training and Working Vs Expecting.

We discuss what the difference between competing Vs training, and how important it is to realize how they need to be seperate. We also unpack how and why it can impact you not only as the athlete but also as an individual.

This podcast also looks at what doing the actual work looks like and what peoples expectations are of their performance. We also connect all of this to how important breathing is to movement, and the crucial connection not only to movement but to your body and your perceived environment.

In this episode we continue on our conversation about nutrition and its impact on the nervous system. We bring discuss individually what works for us within the constraints of the protocol, how we eat, and what we've changed. Theres also talk about how recovery from training is not souly based on food, but more the nervous system. If food recovered us, than why wouldn't we just eat more food to get more recovery???

And last but not leas we discuss the importance of digestion, and how it is NOT the same thing as ingestion. Enjoy !

Trevor and I discuss the profound effects that Q-1 has on your behaviour. We explain how to do it, what to expect and how it can help you in your everyday life. We get into how doing q-1 at certain times can help with certain behaviours as well as workouts that can also be done. We lay how it works and the function of doing it properly and intently. This has drastically changed my stress tolerance and helped my mental health in a big way.

There are some fascinating realizations In regards to procrastination and how the mind and body fight to manage energy. This goes beyond a workout, its a tool, to help you manage your life from the perspective of the body.

In this podcast we update you all on what Trevor and I have been doing with Jen in regards to rehabbing her shoulder and what her training looks like.
From car accidents to a subluxed shoulder we discuss the process were taking to address the main structural issues to make her come back better than before.

We also discuss this concept of the credit card affect. The importance of digesting your training over just constantly ingesting, very similar to how nutrition works. The things we do every day and how it impacts our performance in whatever were doing in sport and the gym.

Its a fun one, with lots of our own personal experiences injected into some very basic ideas around training.

Jen Trevor and I all finally get on the podcast and discuss a very interesting and controversial topic on nutrition.

We dicsuss the impact of nutrition on the nervous system and how different macros (protein, carbs, fats) have an impact on the body, mind and behaviours.
There is quite a bit of nuance in food that most people are missing, as always the nervous system is the biggest influencer of how we function day to day. We explain what the nutrition protocol is, what it does, and how it works for the system, training, sleep, and performance.

There will be a part two that discuss more of our own personal accounts and a more anecdotal account of how the protocol has worked for us individually and collectively when it comes to all things training, lifestyle and behaviour.

Trevor and I go into a very profound strongfit idea called no fix November. It's design is simple and developed around better understanding what your body is telling you.

Trevor opens up about his experience with it and how it impacted his behaviour, relationships, sleep, training and day to day life. It's a fantastic listen, and something I have personally done multiple times to better understand certain things about myself.

I discuss and Idea that I find most people in the fitness industry massively overlook. This is the idea of what "Scientific truths" are and how often only look at one structure of evidence. I find that today science is only about data, but thats not the true definition of science, its not only about numbers.

This episode is a bit of a deviation from fitness, however it is also entirely related to fitness. I think we need to get past relying on studies and do our own experiments and stop just looking for information and look more towards creating knowledge.

Coach palo and I discuss a very different approach to all things nutrition. We both talk about our experiences with the protocol and how its evolved over time. Most approaches to food are very simplistic and are often built around attaining some sort of aesthetic goals.

We explain the importance of the protocol on your recovery, your performance, sleep and behaviour. Most people struggle with food a lot, and i've found the only solution to that is far too simple.

At a later date me Jen and Trevor will be sitting down to discuss our experience with the nutrition protocol as well as outline and give details to exactly how it works and why.
