There’s been some big claims as of late that “any serious crossfit athletes should try keto.” We don’t quite buy this!  We break down the physiology behind ketogenic diets, and why they are NOT the same as a ‘low carb’ diet. We discuss the exact ketogenic studies they used to claim “greater fat loss, retention of 1RM strength, and refuelling of glycogen.”  One claim that may hold true is the improvement to inflammation and recovery on a ketogenic diet....don’t worry, we debated this for you too, and much more! If you like the nitty gritty details on exercise nutrition then you’ll dig this episode!

Sometimes less is more, and this holds particularly true in sports....and again, even more true in the sport of functional fitness and crossfit. Young and old athletes alike often train UNINTENTIONALLY and WITHOUT A PLAN, often doing extra volume that what is required and causing more harm than good.  What are we talking about? We are talking about causing burn out (both mental and physical), increasing risk of injury, disrespecting strength progressions and failing to make necessary sacrifices for 'growth'. We also talk about how foods and general macronutrients should fluctuate based on time of season. For instance, fats higher in the OFF season to build and repair hormones, joints, and overall health...enjoy the episode!

This week we talk about my (Chett) ongoing experiment with the carnivore diet. I've completely removed all vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, wheat and breads, processed goods, drinks, everything! I share some of the profound benefits I've experienced after only ONE WEEK! We also share some stories of other people reversing and even curing chronic illnesses with the carnivore diet, particularly those with autoimmune conditions. We will share how and why that is! We talk about HOW this way of eating can be beneficial. Interestingly, it has to do with the removal of many "plant toxins". These defence chemicals found within plants that can trigger inflammatory responses in humans!  Shocked? We were too. Take a listen and let us know what you think about this paradigm shifting concept. Enjoy!

This is part 2 of the episode we recorded with Deon Keller. This is the ULTIMATE critical thinking podcast. This one is tough to summarize because it is THAT good. Deon shares some of his experiences as a highschool teacher, including how 'critical thinking' skills have dramatically shifted for some. We discuss the great importance of learning to deal with struggle and hardship, in BOTH sport and life, and also explore the current landscape....do you think we as a society have gotten away from this? Do kids and people fear failure now? This could have some terrible consequences. There's so much more, buckle up and enjoy!
