#1 Next Gen Training: What’s a Jerk Metric & Adaptive Modulators
10/16/24 • 58 min
This is the first episode in a new series called, Next Gen Training!
Joining us is Alex Miller, a leading expert in coaching development and training methodologies. Today, we'll explore groundbreaking concepts like "jerk metrics" and adaptive modulators. Alex will shed light on how these innovative tools can enhance athlete performance, prevent injuries, and optimize training outcomes.
We'll dive into how data analytics can predict potential failures, drawing parallels between the precision of manufacturing systems and the intricacies of athletic performance. We also touch on the critical importance of maintaining tissue quality, monitoring stress indexes, and leveraging both subjective metrics like Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and objective data to create individualized training programs. Plus, learn how advanced techniques and technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach strength-building and injury prevention.
From the science of signal transduction to the real-world application of K values, join us as we uncover the future of resilient training. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or fitness enthusiast, this episode is packed with insights that can help you push boundaries safely and effectively.

CM#3 Nicotine Unfiltered: Exploring the Surprising Science
Chris Duffin sits down with expert Anthony Castor to dive into the controversial world of nicotine and its effects on our brain and body. We'll explore how nicotine impacts neurotransmitters like dopamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and glutamate—shedding light on its roles in mood regulation, cognitive enhancement, fat loss, and even immune support.
Together, Chris and Anthony will discuss the benefits and risks of nicotine use, comparing different delivery methods like gum, patches, and inhalers, and emphasizing the importance of moderation. They'll also delve into the historical context of nicotine, its pharmacokinetics, and its potential for aiding conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autoimmune diseases.
Additionally, we'll hear about cutting-edge treatments in neural therapy and the synergy between nicotine and other cognitive enhancers. So, whether you're curious about the scientific intricacies or practical applications of nicotine, stay tuned for an engaging and informative discussion on harnessing the power of this complex compound for resilience and peak performance.
Anthony Castor is a distinguished chemist and researcher, renowned for his work on the effects of alkaloids on the human nervous system. Inspired by the early 19th-century discoveries of Wilhelm Heinrich Posselt and Carl Ludwig Reinman, who first isolated nicotine, Anthony has dedicated his career to examining its profound impact on body chemistry. With a keen focus on how nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, Anthony's research has advanced our understanding of this powerful alkaloid, positioning him as a leading figure in the field of neurochemistry. His work continues to shed light on the complexities of naturally occurring compounds like nicotine, caffeine, and morphine, all of which share the commonality of containing nitrogen.
