    Are you an ambitious, high performer on a mission to improve the aging process? Do you struggle to get the desired results even when doing all the "right" things? Let's think outside of the box with Dr. Kiltz as I did today!! Wow we for sure need a follow up interview so please send me your questions as we didn't have enough time to go down so MANY rabbit holes. Meet Doctor K. Watch the video here "The dreams we have for our futures exist for a reason. Our commitment to ourselves to follow these dreams determines the quality of our lives. While this journey may not always be easy, I am here to help. I believe that everyone deserves to have a family. I provide access to top-quality fertility care for all my fertility practice, CNY Fertility. Through decades of clinical practice, I discovered that infertility (and virtually all other diseases we humans suffer from) are caused primarily by the foods we eat and the frequency at which we consume them. Similarly, I found that the power of positive thinking can have radical outcomes for your health, wellness, and life goals. Through the power of positive thinking, changes to diet, and a nurturing attitude toward overall health, you can achieve what you envision and desire most. By showing up for yourself, you have already begun. I’m here to show up for you too." https://www.doctorkiltz.com/foods-tha... https://www.doctorkiltz.com/fat/ What are you doing today to live your best self at age 70, 80 and 90 plus years old? Are you taking ownership of your health and your future self now so you can thrive as you age instead of struggle?? Life is not a race. It is a Journey.

    Busting the Myth of Lactic Acid and Understanding Muscle Burn

    Busting the Myth of Lactic Acid and Understanding Muscle Burn Episode Description: In this episode, we dive deep into the common misconceptions surrounding lactate and its role in exercise performance. Many people believe that lactic acid is responsible for the muscle burn we feel during intense workouts, but the truth is much more complex. Join us as we explore what really causes that burning sensation and how lactate functions as a valuable fuel source in our bodies. Key Topics: Myth of Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is often misunderstood in exercise physiology. The real byproduct of anaerobic metabolism is lactate, not lactic acid. The role of lactate in energy production during high-intensity exercise. Understanding Lactate: Produced during carbohydrate glycolysis when oxygen supply is insufficient. Serves as a crucial energy source for other tissues, including the heart and liver. Lactate Shuttling: How lactate is transported from muscle cells to other tissues for energy. The conversion of lactate back into pyruvate for ATP production. The Real Cause of Muscle Burn: The sensation of "lactic acid burn" is caused by the accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+), not lactate. The impact of acidosis on muscle function and performance. How the buildup of hydrogen ions lowers muscle pH and affects contraction efficiency. Lactate's Role in Recovery: Lactate acts as a buffer against acidity and helps delay fatigue. The importance of light activity in recovery to clear lactate and hydrogen ions. Key Takeaways: The “burn” during intense exercise signals muscle fatigue but is primarily due to hydrogen ion accumulation. Lactate is a beneficial byproduct that can support sustained exercise and aid recovery.

Neil completed the swim entirely fasted, relying only on water and electrolytes, burning an astonishing 9,632 calories without any caloric intake. Their journey supports a fundraiser with links to learn more: Zero-Two-Lomond Website Swim Tracking and Updates Inspiration from Neil Gyte: Neil shares his "why" behind his commitment to health: a transformative moment at his daughter’s christening, realizing he was far from the active, engaged father he aspired to be.

    How to improve your Metabolic Efficiency and Fat Burning Potential

    In this episode, Coach Debbie Potts dives into a multi-faceted approach to improving metabolism and boosting fat-burning capacity. By exploring a combination of metabolic testing, personalized nutrition, exercise strategies, stress management, sleep optimization, and lifestyle habits like cold/heat exposure and light therapy, you can transform your energy use and performance. Coach Debbie shares insights from Bob Seebohar’s Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET) protocols, covering how to personalize fueling, training, and lifestyle strategies for optimal fat utilization, endurance, and metabolic health. Key Topics: PNOE Metabolic Testing: Discover how PNOE testing analyzes your body’s oxygen use and fat-burning efficiency, guiding you in creating a customized plan for improved fat oxidation and metabolic function. Nutritional Therapy for Metabolic Efficiency: Macronutrient Balance: Working with a nutritional therapist to balance proteins, fats, and carbs can encourage efficient fuel use, fat adaptation, and stable energy. Nutrient Timing: Learn the best times to consume carbs and fats based on activity level to optimize recovery and metabolic health. Supplements: Explore metabolism-supportive supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and NAD+ precursors. Exercise Strategies: Aerobic Training: Understand how steady-state cardio in the “fat-burning zone” can maximize fat utilization. HIIT & Strength Training: Boost your metabolic rate and build lean muscle with HIIT and resistance training. Sleep Optimization: The importance of sleep quality for hormone balance, metabolism, and hunger regulation. Tips include maintaining a consistent schedule, reducing screen time, and creating an ideal sleep environment. Stress Management: Techniques like mindfulness, breathwork, and prioritizing recovery days can help control cortisol levels, reducing abdominal fat storage. Lifestyle Therapies: Cold & Heat Exposure: Enhance fat-burning and metabolism through cold exposure (e.g., ice baths) and sauna sessions to activate brown fat and boost heat shock proteins. Red Light Therapy & NAD+: Support cellular energy and inflammation reduction with near-infrared/red light and NAD+ therapy. Hormonal & Mitochondrial Health: Nutrients like CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, and NAD+ precursors can improve mitochondrial function, essential for energy and metabolic efficiency. Implementing Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET): Initial MEP Test: Determine the “fat-burning zone” intensity level for personalized training. Fueling & Training Adjustments: Using MET data, optimize carb and fat intake around different intensities and improve fat adaptation over time. Lifestyle Protocols: Manage stress and recovery to support metabolic health and long-term energy balance. Ask about our Seminar Opportunity: Join Coach Debbie Potts for a seminar on enhancing metabolic efficiency through tailored fueling, training, and lifestyle strategies.
