Season 2 Episode 13!
I'm so freaking stoked for this episode! Dr. Stu Phillips, PhD joins the show this week. Stu is one of the leading protein and exercise science researchers in the WORLD. He's a senior lecturer at McMaster University in Ontario (we've had a lot of his students on the show), and like most Canadians... he may be the nicest person on the planet.
I've been trying to get Stu on the show for over a year and I'm so honored that he was finally able to set aside some time to come and chat with the EIB audience. In this episode we discuss a new term that he's coined "Orthometria", basically the compulsion and obsession with measuring everything health and fitness related. I had a recent viral post inspired by this exact topic by Stu on my LinkedIn HERE.
We discuss why obsessing over your tracker, HRV's, RHR, VO2, Sleep scores, etc, might actually be doing more harm then good. We also had some additional time to dive into a really interesting discussion about strength vs. hypertrophy. How the two are correlated, but why it's not always a 1:1 ratio.
I think you will REALLY enjoy this episode and if you like it you should 100% check out Stu's new podcast with fellow McMaster scholar Dr. Martin Gibala called "Real Exercise Science". For those who like to watch the episodes we did have a small technical glitch in the recording where we lost Stu's video (towards the last third), but thankfully the audio stayed intact.
I'm hoping to finish my new book in the next few months, with the same title as this podcast. In the interim if you love the show and want to support, I'd appreciate you picking up a copy of my first book "How 2 Look Good Naked".
I've also recently launched a new Substack page with the same name as this podcast "Exercise is Bullshit". If you're a fan of the show I hope you'll consider checking out my Substack. It contains all of my podcast episodes as well as weekly articles dispelling common fitness industry myths.
I'm so excited! I recently started working with a direct to consumer longevity and wellness company called Whoosh. They just launched with their initial offering of weight loss and optimization peptides. If you've been thinking about trying these incredible medications, there's never been a better time. Fast delivery, trusted medical supervised compounding pharmacies and world-class customer service. Not to mention ultra-competitive pricing. They've also just launched a completely new compounded peptide line. No more buying things on the dark-web or sketchy websites. Get real pharmaceutical grade peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, etc) on their new website Beyond Whoosh!
