Health Via Modern Nutrition with Dr. Latt Mansor

One of the greatest challenges of training is successfully attaining "functional overreaching". Pushing your maximal capacity results in stress that leads to beneficial adaptations...making your body stronger, faster, & better.

What happens when you do it wrong? Aptly named, "non-functional overreaching" occurs.

Nothing will help besides rest and recovery. In the case of "overtraining", the more serious form of overreaching, it might take months for even the most elite athletes to bounce back.

A recent study found promising signs that ketone esters can alleviate overreaching symptoms. The researchers didn’t necessarily look at how ketones acutely influence exercise performance, but rather how consistent supplementation could affect recovery and training capacity.

The lead researcher, Professor Peter Hespel, described the potential effect of ketones in recovery as “unseen” and “many times greater” than what he’s seen with other nutritional supplements.

Geoffrey Woo breaks this study down, analyzes the experiment structure, and digs deep into the findings for every last nugget of applicable information.

Facebook Bans Millions of Keto Followers (Banting 7-Day Meal Plans) · #115 ft. Rita Venter

On May 14th, 2019, close to two million people on the ketogenic diet found themselves without a support system, no new meal recipes to add to their week, and really...no home.

Banting 7-Day Meal Plans, a popular Facebook low-carb group with over 1.6 million members, was banned by the platform without warning.

Many were in uproar and disbelief. Heated discussions around censorship, targeted attacks, and even anti-low-carb conspiracies ran amuck.

Notable figures such as Professor Tim Noakes, Dr. Shawn Baker, Marika Sboros, and Crossfit founder Greg Glassman chimed in with their own two cents. Clashing opinions, ranging from blaming silent but powerful anti-fat industry heads to supporting Facebook’s decision because they believe the diet is unscientific, caused quite the schism. Or rather...widened the schism that’s been building as more and more adopt ketogenic/low-carb/banting lifestyles.

After all was said and done, Facebook reinstated the group 2 days later.

What could have caused the banning of millions in the first place?

The creator of "Banting 7-Day Meal Plans", Rita Venter, joins this episode to walk us through the entire debacle.

Optimal Nutrition Made Easy: Behind Ketogenic Meal Replacements · #116 ft. Connor Young

Meal replacements. It’s an arm of the food industry that has exploded in the last few years. As more & more of us are on-the-go or trying to maximize office productivity, quick & easy nutrition climb higher in demand. The problem is, most of these products are not exactly what we’d call “healthy”.

Connor Young is the founder and CEO of Ample, an up-and-coming leader in science-based meal replacement drinks. With formulations consisting of whole-food ingredients, Ample creates specific products targeting ketogenic, vegetarian, and standard diet lifestyles.

While incredibly convenient, a meal in a bottle is perhaps the poster child of "processed food". Processed food, often associated with unhealthy snacks, has almost become a hush word for the health-conscious. Connor surfaces the notion that there's a spectrum between unprocessed and processed, and that processing food isn't inherently a bad thing. An example of this is the pea protein in Ample: By processing the peas, they are able to remove problematic lectins.

As a long-time health & fitness proponent, Connor has fascinating insight into what constitutes an optimal meal replacement.

"To a certain degree, everything is processed. You cooking your steak is processed. You cutting up an apple is technically processed. So ultimately, it's figuring out for each individual ingredient, what is the ideal state? Then, how do we get close to that state?"
