Dr Tommy Wood -Optimal Health & Wellness - Diet, Exercise and Your Environment with

Tommy Wood is the chief medical officer of Nourish Balance Thrive, a company that developed a science-based, personalized support program to help clients regain their optimal performance through various lifestyle changes. Before he found the path to fitness and wellness, Tommy’s idea of a health routine involved lots of TV time and a pack of cookies. He escaped that life when he went to college to get a degree in biochemistry, worked as a traditional doctor of medicine, and obtained a PhD in physiology and neuroscience. He has since worked with many clients and helped them get their lives back. Today, Tommy shares his thoughts on the importance of sleep, what he thinks real food should be made of, and why getting a six-pack now might not be great for long-term. "It's very difficult to do circadian rhythm and sleep by brute force.” Dr. Tommy Wood In this episode, you’ll learn: If a client hits a plateau, it's usually the environment than exercise and diet. Circadian rhythm is important for long term wellness. It's not just about avoiding blue light, but also getting a lot of sunlight during the day. It's important to have a tailored fit into your wellness routine. Eating seasonally is eating the way the body is designed to eat. Where you are and what grows locally there tell you what you should be eating. Be your own health advocate and watch out for biased articles or studies. Even Olive oil products can be adulterated and become unhealthy for consumption. Do your research and make sure it's all made of olive oil. If you are trying to get a certain performance in a certain sport, then some form of excess training is fine, but what you may be training might not be good for you in the long term. Tommy shares what The Upside Down Movement Pyramid is all about. Strength and muscle mass are some of the best predictors of longevity. When it comes to following advice from someone in social media, be careful. What someone projects and what's going on under the hood is not the same thing. Looking online for answers or being part of a community is okay, but don't forget to have personal connections outside the internet. The earlier you build these relationships, the better. Key Takeaways: You’re better off being strong and healthy for 70-80 years rather than have a six-pack now and go down from there. Anything that doesn't come in a package or cook from a single ingredient is real food. If it comes in a box, don't buy it. When you spend so much time on social media, you won't get deep connection or purpose you need for long term health. Find some human interaction.

Health, Wellness and Fitness - How to not break your metabolism and lose weight

Yuri Elkaim is a popular name in the world of health and nutrition, but it wasn't like that before. In fact, Yuri was practically clueless when it came to nutrition, but he did love sports especially soccer/football. His life changing moment was when he realized his bouts of hair loss were brought about by an autoimmune issue called alopecia. Doctors couldn't explain why, so he thought he would live the rest of his life hairless. It wasn't until he learned about holistic nutrition that he ended up curing himself. He has since strived to help those around him, to give them hope that there is still a way to treat whatever health issues they might have. Today, Yuri tells us his story of how he became the Yuri we know now, his thoughts on the whole "Metabolism is like a fireplace" analogy, why he thinks fasting is good for you, the importance of sleep when it comes to making decisions, and why we should learn to decipher when we're hungry and when we're full without relying on an eating schedule. "There's no law that says 'thou shall have to do cardio after my weight training.'" Yuri Elkaim In this episode, you'll learn: The typical North American diet is not healthy at all. The fireplace analogy on metabolism is a myth. Eating all the time to "stoke the flames" won't help you lose weight. In fact, it might lead to more unnecessary weight gain and energy crashing. Metabolism is the sum of all the breakdown and buildup in your body; catabolism and anabolism. 70% of the calories you burn come from BMR or the calories burned at rest. This is heavily dependent on lean muscle mass. If you want to lose weight you have to pack on some muscle. It's a long-term approach to not just weight loss but overall wellness too. Fasting is not starving yourself. When done right, you can fast regularly aka intermittent fasting. People can be psychologically hungry or physiologically hungry. Psychologically hunger is triggered by environmental or emotional cues to make you feel comfortable in certain situations. Listening to your body can mean not eating at the usual time; breakfast at 1 PM is when you break your fast. Too much cardio crushes your thyroid and the problem is not the exercises themselves but the duration and frequency. Endurance cardio is not exactly the ideal form of exercise for long-term. Leptin and Ghrelin are hunger hormones sensitive to sleep. Leptin tells you to stop eating and Ghrelin tells you to keep eating. Less sleep produces more ghrelin and reduces leptin. Key Takeaways: Eat when you're hungry and stop when your full. You have to be aware "when" you're hungry. Women shouldn't be worried about building muscle as they are not as naturally capable of bulking compared to men. When you sleep, try to make the room a lot like a dark, cold tomb. It'll boost the quality of your sleep more than sleeping in a warm room penetrated by light.
