EA Radio 048: My Top 5 Resources for Health and Fitness
We have so many resources at our finger tips that sometimes it can be hard to figure out which ones we should be using and which ones we should avoid. So I thought I would put together a short list of my top 5 resources I use on an almost daily basis.
- PubMed/Google Scholar
- Social Media Platforms - (people like Spencer Nadolsky, Brad Schoenfeld, Mike Israetel, Jordan Syatt...etc)
- Examine.com
- Websites - T-nation and AnabolicMinds
- Local Library - don't hate me, but it's true

EA Radio 047: Are your foods SUPER enough?
The term superfoods comes up every couple of years, and honestly, I don't see it going away any time soon. But do you really know what makes a superfood, super?

EA Radio 046: There Needs To Be More Empathy In The Fitness Industry
This is something that I wish would be discussed more in our field. I would say it's almost as important knowing the muscles of the body, how they move, as well as various nutrition principles. Below are a couple of resources that I found geared for fitness professionals, but I think they are equally important for clients to read as well.

EA Radio 045: The Fitness Influencer
You don't see as many fitness influencers as you once did, but they are still out there. They have just changed there tactics a little given some social media platforms have changed their algorithms a little.

EA Radio 043: Training and Exercise as an Art Form
Episode 43: Training and Exercise as an Art Form
This was one of those episodes that I had been thinking about for a long time. It's something that was hard for me early in my education and career to really wrap my head around. I didn't quite understand that science and research didn't have all the answers. Implementation of that science wasn't something that I had really been confronted with until I started doing personal training and coaching on a regular basis.

EA Radio 042: A Case for Creatine
Episode 42: A Case for Creatine
This is still hands down one of the most researched and used supplements out there, but, there is still so many questions about it. It took a long time for me to decide whether I wanted to do an episode on it, but in the end decided that it might be helpful to someone out there.

EA Radio 037: Where I've been and COVID-19
So it's been almost a year since my last podcast, I don't really have a good explanation except for.....life happens. However, with that time off, I've been able to finally pull together some projects that I've been working on for a little to long now. And I'm pretty excited to show them off.
The first is Evolved Athletic Academy, which is setup to be really similar to Udemy and other online learning platforms. As you can imagine though, this is where I will be posting fitness and health related learning content. The second project is a community page called Evolved Athletix Community, it has the look and feel of s social networking page, but without the ads and other distractions that can be found on large sites. The best part, both sites are completely dedicated to one topic.
Start at 7:42 if you want to skip the introduction and get into today's topic about COVID-19.

EA Radio 036: Exercise and Brain Health
**Announcement**
For the next month or two, I will be releasing one podcast every two weeks instead of every week. During this time I will be changing up the format to improve your listening experience. Up until now, I have recorded each episode with a few notes in front of me and then just hit record. That can last only so long, it's time to improve the overall show.

EA Radio 035: Track Calories or Track Food Intake?
For most people, tracking food intake isn't enough. Most people have a skewed sense of how many calories they are actually consuming. But, is it really necessary for all of us to be tracking calories?
Also, before I get into the topic, I wanted to announce a free program that I have released called Evolved Athletix Prime V1.0.
It's a 4 week, full body, strength training program that auto adjusts to how you rate your workouts. There are more features in the works, but I wanted to release the barebones version first so people could try it out.

EA Radio 033: Stength Training and Bone Health
It's basic physiology...lol, I talk a little bit about my interaction with someone from LinkedIn regarding strength training and bone health. To this person defense though, physiology isn't their field and isn't something that is discussed often. After that, I talk about two resources that outline a little more information regarding bone health and strength training.

EA Radio 032: Sleep Deprivation and Health
This is by no means and all inclusive look at sleep and sleep deprivation, but I think I have a unique perspective on the topic. Well kind of. In any case, I wanted to share some of the important points regarding sleep, sleep deprivation, and why it's important to make sure you are getting proper sleep, as well as developing appropriate sleep hygiene.

EA Radio 031: Should You Exercise When You're Sick
It's inevitable that you will eventually get sick while you are striving to reach you health and fitness related goal. When that happens though, what are you to do? Do you skip the workout and try and make up for it later or do you workout and try to muster the stamina to make it through? My suggestion is to not try and make up for it later, but rather follow my recommendations from this episode.

EA Radio 030: Harvard Medical School examines 10,000 steps a day.
It never ceases to amaze me how badly news organizations can make something out to be that it isn't. Well, it has happened again with news outlets misinterpreting the results of a Harvard Medical School study. Here is the actual research article: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2734709
Now here are some of the news organizations reports: Fox News, Today, and NPR.

EA Radio 029: The Skinny on Starvation Mode
This is another one of those topics that comes up frequently and I just don't believe it gets discussed enough. So it tends to be something that people will think about while they are dieting and adds to the frustration when they can't figure out what's going on when they stop losing weight.

EA Radio 028: Two Myths That Need To Go Away
Nothing is more frustrating than hearing myths and misconceptions that have been proven wrong for a long time. But, to be fair, sometimes there are concepts that just sound right at first because you don't have the whole picture in view. On today's episode, I talk about two that have popped up quite a bit recently.

EA Radio 025: Personal Training versus Coaching
I dive into the differences between what I believe personal training is versus coaching. As a preface to this, I believe there is a place for both personal trainers and coaches, however, I also believe that coaches tend to do better long run.

It's been almost 4 months and I think I've had enough time off. Moving forward, there will be a podcast episode every Friday with a couple of "bonus" episodes scattered throughout the month.

Before I wrap this up, there was one other thing I wanted to mention, I found a pretty cool podcast app that I think is worth checking out. It's called Podcoin and the basic premise of the app is you essentially get rewarded for listening to shows that you already might be listening to.

EA Radio 017: Book Review - Kyle Stull "Complete Guide to Foam Rolling"
Foam rolling has been a life saver for me as stretching never really seemed to help me as much as it probably should have. So when I started foam rolling about 5 or 6 years ago, you can imagine my excitement when it my flexibility and mobility improved by just adding this into my training routine.
