The Ultimate Super Bowl Scoop: Bets, Careers, and Cutting-Edge Wellness Therapies

Nerdout & Workout Podcast

02/08/24 • 57 min

Ever felt the exhilarating rush of a Super Bowl send-off? My co-host Kevin and I sure did, and we're here to regale you with the tale straight from the heart of the 49ers' hive. As we gear up for football's biggest showdown, we're not just talking touchdowns; we're diving helmet-first into the kaleidoscope of Super Bowl bets and pondering the existence of a "hyperbolic time chamber." And if you think athletes only flex on the field, wait till you hear about their off-the-gridiron escapades that had us in stitches.
Strap on your cleats because we're taking a sprint down the career opportunities at the NFL. Picture this: mistaking a Super Bowl mascot for an animatronic mouse from a pizza joint—yes, that happened. Through laughter, we reveal how the 49ers treat their staff like MVPs and why networking might just be your ticket to that coveted strength coach spot. It's not all fun and field goals though; we get real about the highs and lows of fan loyalties and finding that precarious balance between passion for the game and family time.
As for those of you with an insatiable curiosity for cutting-edge recovery and wellness therapies, get ready to be your own guinea pig alongside us. We open up about our own experiments with the chill of cryotherapy, the warm glow of red light therapy, and the squeeze of hyperbaric oxygen chambers. It's a no-holds-barred discussion on the blurred lines between science-backed benefits and the feel-good placebo effects. So, whether you're an athlete, fitness aficionado, or just here for the thrill of it, tune in for a session that's as informative as it is entertaining.

#2 The Wonder of Intermittent Fasting

Nerdout & Workout Podcast

01/10/19 • 19 min

Thoughts on Intermittent Fasting.

This is nothing new. The body is designed to feed off its fat stores as we go on through long periods without food.

This is how our bodies evolved and adapted to our environment since our ancestors survived through famine and such.

It’s nothing new and the core of intermittent fasting is getting your body to do what it was designed to do, burn off fat stores for energy.

Now that we have such an abundance of food in developed countries, the problems of being overweight are more common that before.

If you’re constantly eating and giving your body a surplus of food to store then your fat storage will increase.
Utilizing the pattern that Intermittent Fasting gives you instigates your body to start burning energy from fat stores it otherwise would not have been doing if you were eating at a common frequency.

Is it for everyone? Nope. Just like how going Vegan, Gluten Free, or Ketogenic isn’t for everyone because everybody’s body will react differently to various diets.

There are scientific fundamental rules we all need be aware of when it comes to eating such as extra sugars and calories paired with a low activity level and low resting metabolic rate will lead to weight gain vs a high metabolic rate with high activity and limited diet will lead to weight loss.

It all comes down to seeing how your body reacts to whatever you’re choosing to do. If your body reacts well to intermittent fasting, great. If it doesn’t then there’s more style of eating that may work better out there.

#14 Heroes & Villains of Diet

Nerdout & Workout Podcast

02/22/19 • 21 min

Follow us @nerdoutandworkout
Topics about diet and eating styles has become so fiercely debated its like people arguing about religion. You start seeing intense statements such as:

“If you drink milk then you’re stupid!”

“If you eat meat then you’re the problem!”

“Vegans are idiots, I’m eating my meat no matter what.”

“Gluten free is the way to be. I just know my body can’t take gluten even though I haven’t taken the test.”

“I’m allergic to non-electrolyte water.”

This list can go on and on but it’s starting to get ridiculous. If you pay attention to how food recommendations have changed in the past decades it’s been a roller coaster of what’s considered evil and what’s the new “super food.”

Back around 2005 it was all about avoiding fats and consuming grains and now its the other way around where we cut sugars and intake healthy fats.

Eating 6 small meals a day was suppose to be the end all be all of how to cut weight but now there’s more of a push of intermittent fasting and how that’s getting great results.

If you have a certain diet that truly works for you then that’s awesome, but it won’t do anyone any good if you feel that your way of eating is the best way of eating and try to force it down your friends and family’s throats.

When you automatically categorize someone as “stupid” or “the source of the problem” when they don’t eat the way you eat then that’s an issue in itself.

Emphasizing the education and science of food and dieting is what will improve the way we all eat no matter what we do. Whether you’re a vegetarian, carnivore, vegan, or just a person who likes to eat whatever they want, if we continue to relentlessly devour the knowledge of how food really affects us as individuals we can better help one another and see the bigger picture of what it really takes to eat healthy.

We also have to be adamant about the sources of where we get our information about food and dieting. With streaming platforms being more popular than ever it is becoming easier to consume media out there that talks about how people should eat but you must be careful in what type of message they’re showcasing.

You can’t trust everything you watch and if something seems very biased towards one thing you already know there needs to be more digging to get to the bottom of it. Every type of study could be influenced by a corporation to serve their interests at the same time as every documentary could be heavily skewed to the views of it’s sole director without any credible sources. There’s always two sides to every issue and it’s best to listen and understand both in order to make an educated decision on your part. It’s a pain to do but we have the internet.

If you want to learn how to eat healthy challenge yourself to read, listen, and watch credible information that explains both sides of a coin and see what works best for you. Try it out, adjust and refine it. In my opinion this is the best way to get closer to your
