#26 - Gut Health, Supplementation, and Nutrient Absorption w/ Marcus Filly

In this episode, I talk to Marcus Filly, he is the founder of Functional Bodybuilding and the CEO of Revival Strength. After leaving medical school, he turned instead to health and fitness to help people more directly with training and nutrition in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on an extensive training background in soccer and my competitive Crossfit career, he owned an affiliate for years before changing methodologies to help athletes better succeed through individual coaching. After the 2016 CrossFit Games, he was burned out and broken, and about to become a first-time father. Functional Bodybuilding was born out of a need to train more for longevity and sustainability – while still looking good and moving well. He is the co-host of LOOK GOOD MOVE WELL Podcast. We talk about supplementation, gut health, and nutrition. He also discussed how we should be looking at nutrition when we're kind of designing our lifestyle and designing our food profile and we talked not just about nutrition but many random things.   Show Notes:(06:35): Laws and regulations to take a supplement(17:28): Effect of supplements on internal health(24:49): How to view supplementation(30:45): Definition of velocity diet(34:23): Proper taking of protein(50:45): How to check if you have a good or poor gut health(57:39): What people should look for when buying supplements(1:01:59): Recommendations for gut health supplements(1:06:23): Suggestions to have a good sleep(1:14:27): How to choose the right type of creatine(1:24:00): Athletes' and coaches’ takeawaysHow to Connect with Marcus Filly:Website: https://functional-bodybuilding.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/marcusfillyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/marcusfilly/?hl=enRevive RX Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revive_rx/?hl=en Connect with me:Habit Chess Newsletter: https://geni.us/VU0ptPod Mahal book on Amazon: https://geni.us/16YofIWork with me: https://geni.us/C1qB3DaGet in touch: https://geni.us/gBtz
