If you feel like you’re particularly “sensitive” to carbohydrates then this is for you!
I do not believe everyone should eat the same amount of carbohydrates.
Yes the most important thing for fat loss is still total calories (energy in vs. energy out) but if you feel like s**t and can’t focus then eating in an energy deficit is going to be pretty difficult!
This is why I believe many people should instead be prioritizing healthy fats and proteins.
🚨If you find it difficult and confusing to determine your carb intake, then our FREE newsletter, and/or THRIVE 1.0 might be for you!

@ London, Ontario

We cover some of the BIGGEST fitness industry myths.
Cardio for weight loss, creatine is steroids, how much protein you can absorb in one sitting, strength training for elderly and MORE!
@ London Music Conservatory

EPISODE 10 is LIVE!
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!

What’s the MOST important thing for recovery?
Let’s quickly define it first. In this sense, I mean your ability to recover in between sets, workouts, events, shifts on the ice or field, and I’m between games...
It’s not what you might guess....not nutrition, not all the fancy “mobility tools”, not sleep *(but sleep QUALITY is effected by what I’m about to tell you).
It’s heart rate. Having a constantly elevated heart rate quite simply requires more energy and places more demand on your entire body and brain, eventually leading to some type of “burn out”, whether that’s short term or long term depends.
Eating foods you have a sensitivity to elevates heart rate and impairs recovery.
Tracking sleep? Your worst sleeps will be the ones when heart rate is high.
Can’t recover between events or shifts or periods? Your heart rate is probably staying high.
Always sweaty and feeling anxious? You get the point.
This is why BREATHING PROPERLY and BREATHING EXERCISES are so darn important.
Yes mindfulness. And it also optimizes hormonal patterns and makes your brain bigger. Literally.
Do you have a mindfulness routine?

EPISODE 9 on is LIVE!
Chett’s shares his experience while experimenting with this radical way of eating.
We discuss HOW and WHY he has experienced such extreme mental clarity.
We share stories of others reversing and even ‘curing’ with this way of eating.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?
It’s two fold: 1) it puts you in ketosis, but perhaps more importantly is 2) you’re removing ALL potentially INFLAMMATORY FOODS from your diet!
Yup, this includes fruits and veggies too! Shocking right? Take a listen to get the details!
Side note: Chett also has not farted since starting the diet 💩
@ London Music Conservatory

Ep. 9: Chett's Carnivore Diet Experiment by The Fitness Experiment • A podcast on Anchor 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...

We dig into some fascinating techniques that Will and Dalton from use in their clinics!
We cover tools to help athletes return to health and play, some unique challenges they face, and also discuss the importance of MINDSET around recovery.
We also discuss the importance of a physiotherapist having knowledge in exercise and fitness - like these guys do!
If you are an injured athlete looking for care, this may be the most important quality to look for. Enjoy!!
@ London, Ontario

There was so many good lessons and words to live by explained in this episode that it was hard to pick just one quote!

EARN YOUR RIGHT TO COMPETE
Competing isn’t for everyone. And it definitely isn’t for everyone to win.
In most sports, there is a clear qualification process to earn the right to compete.
For example, to make a hockey team you tryout, make the team, go to practice, learn systems and skills, apply and refine systems over a pre season, regular season, playoffs, then for 2 teams only - the championship. It is a very clear line.
The point is, athletes competing at the highest level in the sport and at the most prestigious part of the year have EARNED that right in their “training” (pre,season,playoffs etc). Their bodies and minds have had the time to work, recover, adapt and progress continually over time to get resilient and proficient enough to compete.
You can’t just sign up for the Championship. You EARN your spot.

This will be a podcast topic in the near future

CAN YOU CREATE A PROGRAM BASED ON BODY COMP MEASUREMENTS?
Short answer: Yes!
It is very common for people, although with good intentions, completely miss the mark with this one
For example: How many of us have used “sweating” as a measurement of a “weight loss program”?
This is by far the biggest misconception I’ve come across and have had some tricky conversations about it.
We’ve talked about this a lot on the podcast but at the end of the day properly prescribed Resistance Training is the LONG TERM answer to all body composition goals. Combine it with a fuel and lifestyle that matches your goal (gaining or losing) and BAM! 💥 Success!
General rule for success:
75% Weightlifting
25% Skill/Sweat stuff at a moderate effort

WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO WEAKNESSES!?
What’s the first thought that pops into your head when you’re exposed to something you suck at?
Is it something like, “I don’t want to do that, I suck at that”?
Are you avoiding it or neglecting it because you’re scared of failing?
We’ve all been there before!
REWIRE YOUR THINKING!
and all sports are a MENTAL GAME!
Instead, embrace the challenge, embrace failure, and tackle those weak spots head on! Take it as a unique opportunity for growth.
If you have the capacity to move your body every day in the gym as you wish, it is a PRIVILEGE to be able to attempt new skills and fail.
The other cool thing is that everytime you fail you are building new in your brain, so that the skill may become
Welcome your fears with open arms and a positive mindset today!

BECOME A METABOLICALLY FLEXIBLE BEAST!
It’s common for athletes to have their carbs dialled in. But many overlook the importance of fat.
Carbs are great for “acute” or immediate performance, but fats are required for “long term” performance.
Prevention of injury and joint pain via inflammation 🔥, recovery and resiliency via hormonal regulation, all the essential vitamins and minerals high in fats. You name it.
The classic example is competition..... Your nerves are high and you’re crushing quick carbs all day. Maybe you’re running to the bathroom before every event. Before you know it, it’s the end of the day and you’re cramping up because you crapped 💩 out all your electrolytes.
All because you had to constantly rely on those quick carbs for energy. If only you were more METABOLICALLY FLEXIBLE, and fat adapted; then you could be converting your own body fat into energy.
Strategic high fat days should be implemented into nutrition plans for serious athletes.
