Episode 44: The Importance of Nutrition & How it Affects Our Muscle Recovery!

(1:01) The Berman Method is about treating problems not symptoms, so we want to identify where that problem is coming from. Whether it has to do with your metabolism, back pain, autoimmune disease  (1:45) These things will come back whether it be from a food that you may sensitive to or overdo a workout and not get the proper recovery but if we know where the problem is coming from and know how to treat that, we can decrease the duration of the symptoms, the intensity of the symptoms so then our body gets into recovery faster(2:37) Today we will be talking about nutrition and muscle recovery (3:25) We recently just started working out at a gym called “ D1 Training” in Naples (5:46) Exercise is important, we NEED to move our body everyday and it is 20% of the weight loss(6:16) As we go through hormonal changes as we age, our metabolism slows down therefore leaving less fuel in our body(7:32) Multiple other factors that cause a change in metabolism(8:57) You can't outwork a bad diet(10:12) Everything we do for PT is looking at you from head to toe, figuring out what is causing the muscles to activate incorrectly, to look at the alignment of the different joints to see if the muscles are firing how they are supposed to(11:58) We want you to put on lean muscle mass(12:37) Those with more muscle mass, live longer lives. Your muscles are going to be what continues to allow your body to move, allow you to move longer, your metabolism will be revved up longer, keeps the organs functioning at higher level for a longer period of time.(13:00) Jenni goes over her thesis on bed ridden patients, in PA school, specifically those with hip replacements and how it affected their mortality rate and explains what she learned(14:36) Something we have at the PT department is the Ultimate Muscle Recovery Package and this provides supplements that help recover your muscles the way they should. Whether it be after a PT session, workout, round of golf, etc.(14:58) You also want to be focusing on your meal plan to help your muscles recover as well. One of the things in the Muscle Recovery Package is a bottle of protein powder(15:50) We have to provide protein to the muscles to allow for muscle recovery. Protein is one of the most important things for blood sugar stability when it comes to fat burning, brain fog, memory and being able to gain lean muscle mass(17:32) Something else in the Muscle Recovery Package is L-Glutamine. Both Jake and Jenni take it everyday(18:10) L-Glutamine is an amino acid meaning it’s natural. It helps with muscle recovery, it is also important for the gut lining. It regenerates the gut lining. The healthier our gut is, the healthier our body is going to be, the less inflammation we have and the more we can absorb nutrients for muscle recovery. (19:06) The next thing in our Muscle Recovery Package is electrolytes. Electrolytes are something we need to balance, too much is bad. We also don’t want to dilute our electrolytes. When we drink a lot of water it can dilute our electrolytes(21:19) The last thing we have in the Ultimate Recovery Package is something called “Best Rest”, this helps you sleep through the night which really helps your muscles recover(22:01) The “Best Rest” supplement has helped so many of our clients with sleep, including those who have tried anything and everything to help with sleep. When you are not getting a proper night's rest, your body isn’t in recovery(24:09) It is non addictive. It is not a prescription but still always consult with your doctor(26:54) Dehydration can decrease metabolism by 30%. Muscles are 73% water(27:27) Generally speaking males should get at least 90 oz. of water a day while women should get 70 oz (28:22) Even if you aren’t in Naples we can ship you the Ultimate Recovery Package(28:30) Take home message from today is you HAVE to fuel your bodyCheck Us Out On Social Media - Facebook: @bermanhealthclub , @physicaltherapynaples, @Berman Golf Instagram: @bermanhealthclub, @bermanphysicaltherapy , @Berman Golf Youtube: Berman Golf, Berman Physical TherapyTikTok: Bermangolf, bermanhealthclubEmail us - [email protected] [email protected] Check out our website - www.bermanpt.com www.bermanhealthclub.comwww.bermangolf.com
