Listener Q&A on MOFO Supplementation, Building a Healthier Metabolism with More Movement, Fat Adapted Endurance Training, HIIT vs HIRT, and Combining Micro workouts with Full Workouts (Breather Episode with Brad)

Enjoy insights on a variety of topics during this breather show, including: the best time to supplement with MOFO and detox reaction considerations; second guessing the concept of caloric efficiency to introduce the concept of moving more frequently, eating more nutritious calories, and coming out healthier; and the correct way to implement the Tabata workout protocol (hint: it only takes four minutes!). I also touch on the issue of struggling with energy during prolonged workouts after switching to a low-carb carnivore eating pattern, and talk about the importance of acknowledging (and healing) from the mental scars caused by overtraining/burnout, so you don’t elicit a fear reaction when it comes to challenging your body with difficult workouts. An important takeaway from this show is that we all have the same ability to utilize our intuition to determine what the right workout is on any given day, and to not let things like peer pressure and the plethora of misinformation one can find on the internet get in the way of listening to that inner voice. I wrap up by sharing some life-changing advice from Mark Manson, who says that the path to happiness is through using self discipline to make choices that make you happy, and that you should view your life more simply, as a series of decisions and actions, and work to maintain an identity that is “defined by as little as possible.” That’s all for today! Thanks for listening, and please send me an email if you have any questions you’d like answered in a future Q&A show!TIMESTAMPS:Mac McGruder says after taking MOFO, he has experienced an increase in energy and focus but has noticed a change in his sleep. [01:48]Daniel brings up a question about minimizing calories. Do we need to slow metabolism for a longer life? [07:23]Chuck Sims is concerned about the carnivore diet and his energy level being low when he participates in endurance sports. [12:52]A listener named Brad is asking about HRT versus HIT. The Tabata idea has been abused. Look for periods of luxurious rest intervals. [16:26]Mark Sisson still recommends combining micro workouts with longer, more structured strength training sessions as part of a complete toolkit. Given that, how would you recommend distributing these with other workouts in a given week? [20:38]Tom Verdich from down under was quite ill after massively over-training. He heard about   the book Biology of Belief and changed his beliefs about exercise. [22:33]All of us at all levels of performance, have this wonderful intuitive ability to determine the right workout to do on a particular day, month, or year. We just ignore that voice so frequently due to peer pressure and misinformation from the internet. [26:19]Tom asks for Brad’s tips on getting over yourself. See your life as simply a series of decisions and actions.
