EP. 07 EUGENE TEO- UNDERSTANDING FUNDAMENTALS: THE ART OF APPLYING PRINCIPALS

05/05/20 • 73 min

In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Eugene Teo of GanbaruMethod. At the heart of science lies this one small fact: one size does not fit all. While general principles apply to all individuals, putting them into practice is more art than science. Innate differences in health, aerobic capacity, biomechanics, muscle fiber type, etc... all affect how you will respond to a specific program/protocol. Only through trial and error will you be able to determine what works for you. Science is the framework that should guide the development and execution of your training, but there is no substitute for experience and common sense. This is just one of the many conversations we had- We also spoke about the esoteric Muffin Man, money-hungry vultures in the industry, even got philosophical at one point. Thank you, Eugene for your time, looking forward to having you on for future discussions!

EP. 06 CHRIS BARAKAT - ADJUSTING & ADAPTING: NUTRITION/TRAINING MODIFICATIONS

In this episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Christopher Barakat who’s the owner of an educational brand School of Gains, head coach at Competitive Breed, and professor/researcher at Tampa University. Now while there is some uncertainty during COVID-19 that doesn’t mean we can’t still progress toward our body composition/health related goals during this period of time. Despite the best-laid plans, life isn’t always predictable. External events and unexpected circumstances often create chaos- causing us to lose focus and get distracted. At times like these, you can reclaim some sense of security by focusing on what you can control. Find comfort in your habits. Find structure in your plans. Find certainty in your routines. Then use the power of focus to direct your energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the things most likely to give you what you want. That’s how your best self can thrive— regardless of what’s going on around you. Thank you Chris for your time, looking forward to having him on for future discussions.

EP. 08 DASHA AGOULNIK- OPTIMIZING GUT HEALTH: UNDERSTANDING THE MICROBIOME

In our modern society health can seem very complex. There are countless procedures, tests, supplements, products, etc. that promise to improve your overall health. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype when you don’t have a sense of direction are you’re constantly exposed to advertisements, magazines, tv shows, social media, etc… Many people fail to realize that when you have a goal that’s body composition related, it’s in your best interest to start by optimizing your general health. It starts with the lowest hanging fruit, before trying to search for complex solutions. The gastrointestinal system comprises ~75% of the body’s immune system and is the only system in the body that has its own, independently operating nervous system, called the ‘enteric’ nervous system. A properly functioning GI tract is critical for health and well-being, but yet it’s often treated like Cinderella, unwanted stepchild– unappreciated, and ignored. Tune into the full discussion to understand what steps you need to be taking to optimize your gut health!
