Is Brad Natty Or Not? The Truth Revealed!—Part 2 (Breather Episode with Brad)

Welcome to part two of the “Is Brad Natty Or Not?” presentation. In part one, I covered my background in athletics and my decision to operate from a squeaky clean baseline dating back to my professional triathlete career. In part two, I present an assortment of practical tips to optimize testosterone naturally, in the categories of: Sleep, rest, recovery, and down time Increasing all forms of general everyday movement Performing regular strength training sessions with brief, explosive movements Sprinting the right way to gain incredible hormonal benefits Diet: prioritize protein, eat nutrient-dense foods, eliminate processed foods Supplements: whey, creatine, MOFO, animal organs, and a few potential others You’ll learn why creatine is so essential for everyone (not just athletes) when it comes to muscle strength, performance, recovery, and even protecting brain neurons from age related damage, how to get more creatine into your diet, the important role supplements like boron and Vitamin D play in testosterone optimization (plus alternative and effective ways of increasing Vitamin D), and the benefits of prioritizing protein, specifically whey protein.   TIMESTAMPS: In learning to optimize our lifestyle behaviors, we cover sleep habits, rest, recovery, diet, supplementation and movement. [01:02} Getting the best sleep is the most important of all healthy lifestyle objectives. [02:58] Regular everyday movement is essential.  As little as 20 minutes of sitting still will deliver decrease in glucose tolerance and an increase in insulin resistance. Micro-workouts are a tremendous benefit. [08:05] High intensity strength training is an overall benefit to add to the movement. [11:44] CrossFit and boot camp are healthy and build fitness but you do need to use caution. [15:50] Sprinting has the greatest return on investment. Full impact running sprints on flat ground are the best kind of sprints. [19:19] You should avoid chronic exercise. Stress hormones antagonize testosterone. [23:49] Diet is always a concern.  You want a protein-centric nutrient-dense diet that has eliminated processed foods. [25:27] Supplements have the potential to keep you in an optimal state. [29:13] Beside the animal organ supplements, we need to look at the need for Vitamin D, magnesium, and boron. [36:41] Brad is 100 percent natural.
