    Use Science, NOT Math, to set your Training Zones!

    Are you matching your fueling and training? Are you training based on your metabolism analysis ...or using math as a % of VO2 Max or Lactate Threshold?   n this episode, we dive into the critical connection between fueling and training, exploring how aligning your nutrition with your workouts can dramatically improve performance, endurance, and overall health. We’ll discuss the importance of personalized metabolic analysis and how tools like PNOE, a portable metabolic analyzer, can help you understand your unique metabolic profile to optimize your training and nutrition strategies. What You’ll Learn: The significance of matching your fuel to your training needs. How the PNOE device measures metabolism and metabolic health at rest and during exercise. Insights into your body’s use of oxygen, production of carbon dioxide, and utilization of different fuel sources (fats vs. carbohydrates). Understanding your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and how it impacts your daily caloric needs. How to identify your predominant fuel source through the Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER). The importance of metabolic flexibility and how well your body switches between burning fats and carbohydrates. Resting Metabolic Analysis with PNOE: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): Learn about the amount of energy your body requires to maintain basic functions at rest. Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER): Understand how PNOE determines whether you’re primarily burning fats or carbohydrates at rest. Breathing Efficiency: Discover how breathing patterns at rest can indicate metabolic efficiency. Exercise Metabolic Analysis with PNOE: VO2 Max: A key indicator of aerobic fitness, learn why a higher VO2 max reflects better cardiovascular and mitochondrial health. Ventilatory Thresholds (VT1 and VT2): Understand the shifts between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and how they relate to fuel sources. Fuel Utilization Zones: Discover how specific heart rate zones correspond to fat and carbohydrate usage at different exercise intensities. Energy Expenditure: Learn how to calculate total calories burned during exercise and tailor your nutrition accordingly. Breathing Efficiency During Exercise: Insights into how your breathing patterns impact your performance and metabolic health. Assessing Metabolic Health: Metabolic Flexibility: The importance of switching between fats and carbohydrates efficiently at rest and during exercise. Cardiovascular Fitness and Mitochondrial Efficiency: How VO2 max and ventilatory thresholds provide insights into your cardiovascular and mitochondrial health. Fat Oxidation Capacity: Essential for endurance athletes, learn how effectively your body burns fat at various exercise intensities. Personalized Recommendations: Exercise Programming: How to tailor exercise intensity, duration, and type based on your unique metabolic data. Nutritional Guidance: Adjust your macronutrient intake to match your body’s fuel needs. Lifestyle Modifications: Tips to improve breathing patterns, metabolic flexibility, and overall health. Summary: Matching your fueling with your training is key to optimizing performance, endurance, and metabolic health. PNOE offers a personalized and detailed approach to understanding your metabolism by analyzing respiratory gases at rest and during exercise, providing insights far beyond traditional methods.

    What is ANABOLIC Resistance Rabbit Hole with Coach Debbie

    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? Strategies to Combat Anabolic Resistance: Higher Protein Intake: Aim for around 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, with a focus on high-quality protein sources rich in leucine. Post-Exercise Nutrition: After resistance training, women in their reproductive years should consume around 20-35 grams of protein, while those in perimenopause and older should aim for 40-60 grams due to increased anabolic resistance. Resistance Training: Engage in regular, targeted resistance exercises, focusing on major muscle groups, to help counteract muscle loss. Protein Timing: Distribute protein intake evenly across meals to maximize muscle protein synthesis throughout the day.

    Episode #542 with Dr. Elizabeth Bright on Iodine, Thyroid Health & Carnivore Diet

    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? 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?? Today we talk again to the brilliant Dr. Elizabeth Bright, ND, MICO who focuses on Osteopathy and Naturopathy Functional, effective, and gentle treatment. Share video with your friends who struggle with low thyroid...    • Thyroid Health, Iodine & Carnivore Di...   https://youtu.be/CE0tlc8MIKY?si=J1q10pJtMKnXwE6y Big questions we got from her followers include: What about Iodine?! Thyroid health-Sign of deficiency for men and women Autoimmune Hashimottos ...to take or not to take iodine? What are optimal thyroid levels? Do we need fiber for gut health? How is carnivore diet useful to rebalance hormones in peri menopause? Is it promoting estrogen production? The role of dairy - makes people store more fat? Mechanism behind cheese that tends to cause weight gain What should we eat and avoid - simplify as we age? Tips for men to improve hormone balance Any tips for exercise and lifestyle habits to help improve fat loss? Digestion-Leaky gut-chronic inflammation-Liver congestion and toxicity What about food sensitivities? Learn more about Dr. Bright https://www.elizbright.com/ Meat: Humans evolved to eat meat from ruminant animals millions of years ago. Over two million years ago, the human brain reached maximum size. It has been shrinking since the advent of agriculture. The large human brain reaches peak size from the nutrients in a diet high in meat and animal fat. Salt: Eating carbohydrates makes the kidneys hold on to salt rather than excrete it. The body then retains water to balance the blood's sodium concentration. It's not the salt that causes water retention, higher blood volume, and subsequent high blood pressure.  Water: A diet high in carbohydrates means you need to drink more water. When you take out carbohydrates from you diet, you only need to drink when you are thirsty.  Carbohydrates cause stress. If stressed, you must drink more to give the adrenals the sodium they need to send messages. Artificial sweeteners are as stimulatory as sugar and, therefore, stressful. Social Media: Instagram @dr.elizbright.do.nd Books: Good-Fat-Women-Menopause Menopause. Why do we go through it? How can we enjoy this time of life?There is a plethora of confusing and misleading information out there about menopause: what to take, what to eat. Women may begin to wonder: is there something wrong with our bodies? And if menopause is natural, why do doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and the media recommend so much medication to treat menopausal symptoms?  Watch on https://youtu.be/CE0tlc8MIKY?si=J1q10pJtMKnXwE6y

    Tips to SPEED up your metabolism as you AGE!

    In this episode, we dive into the significance of metabolism and how it impacts your overall health and well-being. Metabolism is more than just burning calories; it’s a complex process that drives everything from energy production to maintaining vital functions. Understanding your unique metabolic profile is key to optimizing your health, improving energy levels, and achieving sustainable fat loss, especially as you age. Key Points Covered: Metabolism is the process by which your body converts food and drinks into energy, powering everything from basic cell maintenance to physical activity. Your metabolism is unique, influenced by factors such as age, body composition, hormones, physical activity, and diet. Understanding your metabolic function is essential for more than just weight management—it’s key to long-term health and well-being. Advances in metabolic testing now allow for precise assessments, providing data to create highly personalized health and fitness programs. Next Steps: Incorporating specific blood markers alongside PNOE metabolic testing and lifestyle assessments can help design a customized program targeting your unique metabolic needs. This approach leads to better fat loss, improved energy, and healthier aging. To take the next step in optimizing your health, schedule a free discovery call or a metabolism test with Coach Debbie Potts.
