First up, we're talking about our latest family challenge of keeping phones out of the bedroom. This means we're reading actual paper books!
Jocelyn - Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life by Gerald Pollack
David - Dopamine Nation by Anne Lembke
Then we take a question from the community: What do you know about gout?
Back on the topic of dopamine, we talk about the balance of pleasure and pain and how to leverage this effect for good and not evil. High Intensity workouts definitely feel like pain... followed by feel-good rewards and health benefits, but how much intensity is too much? When we say CrossFit is "high intensity" is that the same thing as max intensity?
Finally we link this into the importance of tracking your workout results. If you are doing a fitness program, you should be getting fitness and the only way to know if this is happening is to gather data!

Nutrition 101 FREE Seminar on Saturday
Oct 19 at 11:30am I will be delivering Nutrition 101 live in person. This introductory event is free and open to anyone and everyone who would like to attend. Please share with a friend!
I'll be taking you through the basics of nutrition from calories, to the macronutrients, to the hormones related to fat storage, appetite, hunger, and muscle. So much information out there is seemingly contradictory! One person says it's ALL about calories in/calories out, while another says calories don't count. Some preach low fat, while others advocate low carb. Some say you need carbs to perform while others swear you don't. WHAT GIVES??? And who is right???
In this seminar I will be breaking down the complex and overwhelming into clear and simple concepts that will help you navigate the confusing world of nutrition information.
