Eat To Perform Podcast

Dr. Simon Wegerif (inventor of the iThlete) talks Heart Rate Variability, what it means and how you can use the information to work out at closer to 100% most of the time.

In this episode we talk to Eat To Perform's own Dr. Mike T Nelson about how to improve movement patterns using an easy testing protocol that can help athletes avoid injury.

The first half of the podcast we talk about not being so rigid about your workout routine but making sure you keep activity as a priority. The second half we walk you through various ideas like whether or not you should work out when you are sick and a few ideas related to working out injured.

In this episode Chad Wesley Smith from Juggernaut Training Systems goes over how an athlete should peak for training. He uses the example of powerlifting (given how good he is at that) but it really does apply to all sports. The major emphasis being that you have to rest to adapt to stimulus (exercise).

In this podcast we talk with Doug Chapman. Doug trains some of the fittest and most recognizable athletes. Names like Julie Foucher, Neal Maddox, China Cho and more are all on Doug's roster of clients. He talks about what separates the contenders from the pretenders in one of the most entertaining conversations we have ever had.

Part of the problem with anything new is the description. When you don't have a simple answer people get confused. We talk about how you can simply view Eat To Perform to real results and then we also talk about how we measure your success and why you might want to reconsider what success looks like for yourself.

In this episode we talk about how to use your FitBit correctly and talk about HRV data using the ithlete. For the FitBit we talk about common misconceptions on how you actually lose fat.
