What You May Not Know! Ft. (Dr. Eric Helms, Jitendra Chouksey & Palash Gupta) In this podcast, Dr. Eric Helms, Jitendra Chouksey & I had a debate cum roundtable discussion on whether there are any repercussions of achieving/staying at essential levels of body fat. We delved deep into the following topics: 1. Palash mentions the caveats with staying on essential levels of body fat 2. JC provides a great framework for setting the right expectations 3. All three parties explore the relationship between body fat & biomarkers 4. Eric provides rebuttal with covariates 5. Insights on how people get influenced 6. Individualization plays a key role 7. Eric mentions that the limited evidence we have refutes the premise of staying at essential levels of body fat without facing any repercussions 8. For every 1 person who can, there are 100s who can't seem to square the circle 9. Eric describes potential harms 10. Making high bar claims comes with significant risks 11. Baseline correlation with Leptin & Body Fat 12. Exploring Dual Intervention Model 13. Going back in time to understand the mechanistic point of staying shredded 14. Insights on Hunter-Gatherers & Quakers 15. Eric explores all the limbs of the trees 16. JC provides excellent insights on chasing goals with the right approach 17. Eric provides the concrete reasoning behind what becomes the physiological bottleneck while trying to maintain essential levels of body fat 18. Eric gives the reasoning behind his disagreements with JC 19. Palash provides a caveat behind the missing data 20. Palash provides insights on why things like these are not talked about 21. JC provides further insights on data on lean people 22. Eric provides a rebuttal on the data 23. All three parties explore the good data 24. Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria of studies 25. Ethics comes on top of everything 26. Eric provides insights on what actually matters 27. Benefits of having an honest conversation with the client 28. We, as coaches, have a really high influence on our client's autonomy 29. Eric mentions that even if a suitable framework exists, it's really hard to say that everyone can sustain essential levels of body fat, whereas as per the evidence, we at least know that there are repercussions for sure, working as covariates 30. JC provides excellent insights on how to set client's expectations in the proper manner 31. Palash provides insights on how to get better in your approach over time 32. Palash provides insights on Staying Lean Vs. Staying at Essential Levels of Body Fat 33. Everyone provides their closing statements We made some healthy chicken & broccoli jokes.

    Podcast #8: Part 1: Are There Any Repercussions Of Achieving/Staying At Essential Levels Of Bodyfat?

    Podcast #8: Debate-Cum-Roundtable Discussion #1: Part 1: Are There Any Repercussions Of Achieving/Staying At Essential Levels Of Bodyfat? What You May Not Know! Ft. (Dr. Eric Helms, Jitendra Chouksey & Palash Gupta) A slight side tangent on how this debate took place: I wrote an article for the "FITTR Facebook Group" mentioning the known repercussions of achieving/staying at essential levels of body fat with all the possible citations attached, but it got rejected with the reasoning mentioned as "The evidence is not up to the mark & article is not well researched." Hence, JC & I went back & forth debating internally in a healthy manner, but since both of us are not keyboard warriors, we decided to have a healthy discussion in terms of a debate. Coincidentally, at that time, I was already discussing with Dr. Eric Helms on a similar topic. Hence, all three of us decided mutually to have a healthy discussion in the form of debate to reach closer to the truth. So, when you watch & listen to this debate as an audience, don't try to take the side of any specific party. Listen closely to the points being mentioned, understand them & have an unbiased opinion. This is the essence of preaching & practicing "Evidence-Based Methodology."
