The Flex Success Podcast Flex Success

Most of us know by now that a few squares of chocolate within the context of a nutrient-dense diet is perfectly 'healthy'. We agree that balance is important and 'sometimes foods' can be part of a 'good diet'. But how much of a 'sometimes food' is okay before we consider it excess? This is exactly what we'll help you establish in this episode.

No. This isn't some 'eating more stimulates your metabolism' podcast... that's a gross misrepresentation of the physiology of fat loss. This episode is all about getting clear on the differences between eating more or less FOOD, and more or less ENERGY (aka calories). We explain how to use this knowledge to your advantage to reduce the friction between you and your goals.

Some physical pains are unproblematic and are no cause for a check-up, like sore muscles from a workout. But other seemingly innocent injuries, like a sprained ankle, can snowball into much bigger issues up the chain. In this episode, we discuss this with Dr. Nick Papas, as well as his new habit of undie sniffing. Yeah, you read that right.

Most people either believe 'you need to train to failure' OR that 'training to failure is bad'. But this topic isn't as black and white. In this episode, your hosts Dean and George take you on a tour of all things training to failure. They'll explain how it's not 'good or bad' but rather, how it might be more or less appropriate for you (or your clients) at different points in time. Armed with this knowledge, you're better equipped to make effective decisions.
