Breaking Down Trending Social Media: Muscle Myths, Longevity Hacks, and Experimental SupplementsClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Brad Williams of Over 40 Fitness Hacks shared insights on various fitness trends, emphasizing a balanced, research-backed approach to health, longevity, and supplementation. Core stabilization exercises like planks were highlighted as more effective and spine-friendly than traditional ab workouts. Detoxifying agents such as zeolite and bentonite clay were explored, with an emphasis on their potential benefits and the importance of further research, particularly regarding zeolite's ability to bind microplastics. Experimental supplements like methylene blue were met with skepticism due to the lack of solid research and concerning anecdotal cases.When discussing muscle-building strategies, the focus was on functional fitness and moderation rather than excessive aesthetics. While different chest exercises can offer slight improvements, overall strength and longevity should take precedence. Essential amino acids were recommended over BCAAs for fasting and muscle retention, though artificial sweeteners in supplements were noted as a downside. Drawing from years of experience running gyms, the stigma around steroid use in trainers was acknowledged, along with the unrealistic expectations it creates for clients.Practical nutrition strategies, such as using oil sprayers for portion control, were highlighted as simple yet effective methods for managing calorie intake. Resistance training recommendations prioritized controlled, slow-tempo movements for joint longevity rather than explosive exercises designed for professional athletes. Overall, the approach to fitness and supplementation remains rooted in science, functionality, and sustainability while cautioning against unproven fads.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Let's be real, most supplements are just expensive hype. The fitness industry is a billion-dollar machine built on flashy marketing, half-truths, and straight-up BS claims. So how do you know what actually works and what's just draining your wallet?In today's episode, I'm breaking it all down, the supplements that are a complete waste of money, the only two I actually stand by, and how to stop falling for influencer hype. Spoiler: fat burners won't burn fat, BCAAs are useless if you eat enough protein, and detox teas? They're just overpriced laxatives. Instead of throwing your money at gimmicks, I'll tell you exactly where to invest for real results.We'll talk about why protein powder and creatine are the only two supplements that actually move the needle when it comes to muscle growth, recovery, and performance. Plus, how to figure out if you actually need a supplement in the first place, or if it's just another marketing ploy. And before you buy anything, there's one key question you need to ask yourself (trust me, it'll save you a ton of money).If you're tired of supplement confusion and want to simplify your approach while still getting the best results possible, this episode is for you.I Also Discuss:(00:00) The Truth About Supplements: What Works & What's a Waste(07:32) Fat Burners, BCAAs & Detox Teas: Why They're a Scam(13:50) Protein Powder & Creatine: The Only Two That Matter(27:09) Do You Actually Need That Supplement?Find more from Tara: Website: https://www.taralaferrara.com/Instagram: @taralaferrara @thetaratalk @broads.appYoutube: Tara LaFerrara Thank you to our sponsors:Broads: Visit Broads.app and enter code PODCAST for 20% off your first month.Cronometer: Visit cronometer.com for 15% off the Premium subscription.

Most commonly the challenge is gaining lean muscle. Doing all the things but can't seem to gain muscle? Then tune in and go through this like a check list of 12 strength training mistakes in menopause that could be the reason. It just takes one. But if there are multiple, it's compounded and in this case, not interest but penalty! Join us at Metabolism Makeover 2.0 to support your journey avoiding the 12 strength training mistakes in menopause. Overworking Small Muscle Groups [00:02:20] You need fewer of these small muscle group-focused exercises in your routine if you prioritize the major muscles like chest (pectoralis) and back (trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi). If the secondary (biceps and triceps) muscles are going to get a workout most of the time, these will rob you of time and energy that is better spent on major muscles if you aren't getting in the adequate volume there. Skipping the Warmup [00:06:40] Nearly a decade ago, I began sharing the fact that if you skip the warmup, you also miss an opportunity to increase total energy expenditure during a workout. It's not only about injury prevention. There's an increased blood circulation, improved energy expenditure, mobility and you can work closer to your capacity. If fitness and longevity are truly goals, “exercising” is not the same as working at your capacity and safely, sanely raising the roof on your fitness level so that age doesn't automatically result in slowing down or gaining weight. Not Resting Between Sets Long Enough Before [00:13:10] Rapidly moving from one exercise to the next, was yesterday. The “metabolic conditioning workouts” are a nice anomaly, a change in pace. Rest between sets of strength training. Reach complete muscle fatigue or within 2 reps of it. If you do HIIT, separate the sessions so you get the best benefit from it and from strength. If you are not getting stronger, not increasing muscle, and these are your goals (in order, perhaps to improve body fat % ultimately), it's a “how” you're doing it problem. Plan Your Routine to Avoid 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause No Organized Plan [00:17:30] You either default to using what's available at the gym or doing the same exercises in the same sequence every time. If you're not careful you won't change the stimulus (by changing the sequence and sets/rep combination) and may also not be getting enough sets per muscle group in each week. It doesn't mean that all sets for a muscle group must be all the same exercise. A super set of 6 different exercises for the triceps works. The next workout you may just do 3 and you're still covered… if you planned it that way. Not Sleeping Enough or Not Changing the Workout When You Don't Sleep [00:20:50] The sleep you get will determine the benefit you get from exercise. If you don't prioritize, your workouts will suffer too. You're also at risk for injury, not only because your body isn't fully doing the repair job or releasing testosterone and growth hormone in deep cycles of sleep as it should, but because coordination suffers. Treating Soreness or Worn Out an Indication of “Good Workout” [00:22:40] When you work muscles, it's normal to feel sore, even if you're extremely fit. Some muscles like quads and glutes are used to a lot of activity and tend to get sore less often. But there are two genes associated with soreness and you may either be predisposed to be sore or not. It's not a good indication of whether you worked hard enough. If you reached muscle fatigue or came close, you gave the muscle enough stimulus. The first sign of poor recovery was soreness after workouts, the second was reduced performance during workouts. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause to Avoid and Nurture Your Body Dependence on Supplements and Negating Balanced Whole Food Meals. [00:27:00] If you're all too willing to jump to EAAs, or BCAAs but won't eat regular meals that result in satiety, chances are your lack of micro and macronutrients will catch up with you. “Food first”, then allow supplements to take you the rest of the way. I don't like to “count” calories on a regular basis but a snapshot is very helpful for checking in. Often for knowing when you're eating too little. Taking Too Much Advice (or Too Little From Too Many People) [00:30:20] It often takes even gurus a while to come around. You have to love Vonda Wright and Mary Haver sharing their own menopause journeys. We need more women like them. They're open about not knowing what they didn't know about menopause, as physicians and women. You have at your fingertips access to women who learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Just don't jump in the middle. You need an onramp. Ignoring Nutrition Needs. [00:32:30] The talk is “calorie deficit.” Yet, 80% of women in our community under-eat for their mere existence (resting metabolic rate) and then try to put their foot on the accelerator for exercise causing a bigger caloric deficit. Then they stay there for years, under-fed and under-fueled (processed food, diet food), the metabolism will come to a halt, along, potentially with adrenal and thyroid function. Figure your calorie needs. Use an app to track your actual intake for 3-5 days. 12 Strength Training Mistakes in Menopause That Hinder Your Progress Thinking Small, Skinny, or Numbers That Don't Matter Instead of That Do [00:36:20] Your size and your weight on the scale do not tell the story of your fitness and health. Though they might hint at your likelihood of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, fall and fracture risk. When women focus on weight or size they sacrifice muscle. When they lose muscle, they lose strength, longevity and independence. A woman who has her ideal weight or size is constantly thinking about it and a step away from a fall or fracture. A fracture that results in bedrest, weakness and loss of more muscle. The beginning of the end. Those falls are not devastating just because of the breaks, but because of brain bleeds or other internal damage. Too Heavy to Start [00:38:20] The first 6-8 weeks, and up to 12, of a resistance training program, the benefits are due to the neural connection. That isn't rushed by going heavy. But loads too great for your ligaments, tendons and joints or muscles can cause weakness, undue soreness, and a weak foundation leading to injury. We, in the fitness industry, need to be more careful. We have sometimes lost our way in regard to where to START, and how and at what pace to PROGRESS. You Add Something But Don't Remove Something Else [00:40:30] I've experienced this temptation myself. When I started training for triathlons at 40, I was compelled to figure out how to run even while I was adding biking or swimming to my schedule. I soon realized I was sabotaging the quality of every workout and just putting those “junk miles.” A woman will lose muscle because of the added stress, inability to recover. That's an extreme example, but if you're adding and never subtracting/replacing, you're probably going to experience similar results.

Building muscle requires more than just lifting weights it's about optimizing nutrition and supplementation. Essential amino acids, especially leucine and isoleucine, play a crucial role in muscle repair and growth, making protein-rich diets and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) a cornerstone for recovery. Creatine is another powerhouse supplement, enhancing muscle performance, hydration, and even neuroprotection when used correctly. Pre-workout strategies, such as incorporating arginine for better blood flow and collagen to prevent muscle breakdown, can also boost results.Practical nutrition tips like protein-packed snacks, including muffins and pancakes, make it easier to fuel your body throughout the day. Key nutrients like selenium, boron, and quercetin support testosterone levels and muscle growth, while balancing hormones lays the foundation for optimal performance. With the right approach, building muscle becomes a sustainable and effective process.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 - Introduction01:32 - Key Supplements06:11 - Pre-Workout Tips11:01 - Practical Nutrition12:29 - Essential Nutrients13:29 - Conclusion

Today we're exploring a fundamental topic that plays a crucial role in nearly every biological process — amino acids. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a foodie, or just someone who wants to understand how your body works, this episode is for you.  We'll talk about what amino acids are, why they're important, the different types, and how you can get them through your diet. So, let's jump right in.  What Are Amino Acids?  Amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins, just like how bricks make up a house. When amino acids are connected together in a short chain, they form something called a peptide. When they're connected in a longer chain, they form a protein. Here's how they differ: Peptides: These are smaller chains of amino acids. They can have just a few amino acids connected together, usually fewer than 50. Think of them like small groups of people holding hands, where each person is an amino acid. Peptides are involved in many processes in the body, like helping to build muscles, fight infections, and carry signals between cells. Proteins: These are much longer chains of amino acids, usually with 50 or more amino acids connected together. Proteins can be very big and complex. They fold into specific shapes that allow them to do important jobs in the body, like carrying oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin), making up muscles, or helping break down food during digestion. So, the main difference is size and complexity: Peptides are short chains of amino acids, while proteins are long, often much more complicated chains that do a lot of work in the body. Now, you might be thinking, “Why are they so important?” Well, without amino acids, we wouldn't be able to make peptides or proteins. And without peptides and proteins, our cells wouldn't be able to function properly. They're essential for tissue growth, enzyme production, and even maintaining healthy skin and hair.  What Are The Types of Amino Acids?  There are 20 different amino acids that your body uses to make proteins. These are split into three categories:  Essential Amino Acids Non-Essential Amino Acids Conditionally Essential Amino Acids Let's take a closer look at each of these.  Essential Amino Acids First up, we have essential amino acids. These are the amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. This means we have to get them from our diet.  There are 9 essential amino acids, and they include well-known ones like leucine, histidine, and tryptophan.  There's also valine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, and threonine. Histidine: Supports the production of histamine (a neurotransmitter), helps with immune system function, and plays a role in sleep, digestion, and sexual health. Leucine: Aids in protein and growth hormone production, helps repair muscle tissue, supports wound healing, and contributes to blood sugar regulation. Isoleucine: Promotes immune function, muscle metabolism, hemoglobin production, and helps regulate energy. Lysine: Involved in hormone production, calcium metabolism, and supports immune system function. Methionine: Important for tissue growth and regeneration, detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient absorption. Phenylalanine: A precursor to neurotransmitters like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, and helps synthesize other amino acids. Threonine: Essential for the production of elastin and collagen, helps form blood clots, supports fat metabolism, and boosts immunity. Tryptophan: Maintains nitrogen balance and is crucial for serotonin production. Valine: Supports tissue regeneration, muscle growth, and energy production. Non-Essential Amino Acids Next, there are the non-essential amino acids. These are the 11 amino acids that our bodies can make on their own, even if we don't get them from food. Examples include alanine and glutamine. You may have also heard of cysteine and tyrosine.  Conditional Amino Acids: Finally, we have conditional amino acids. They're also called conditionally essential amino acids (CEAAs). There are 3 amino acids that are normally non-essential, but under certain conditions — like illness, stress, or injury — they become essential. An example is arginine, which your body usually makes, but during times of stress, it may need to come from your diet. Other examples include histidine and glycine. What Are Branched Chain Amino Acids? Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—that the body uses for muscle recovery and athletic performance. You can find BCAAs in foods like dairy, meat, and beans, and they are also available as supplements. The Benefits of Amino Acids  Amino acids do so much more than help you build muscle — although that's a pretty big perk. Let's take a look at some of their other benefits.  First, amino acids support muscle recovery. If you're into working out or engaging in high-intensity sports, your muscles experience wear and tear. Amino acids like leucine, for instance, stimulate protein synthesis, which is crucial for muscle repair.  But it's not just athletes who need them. Amino acids also help with immune system support. Certain amino acids like glutamine fuel immune cells, helping your body fight off infections and illnesses.  They're also important for brain health. Amino acids such as tryptophan are precursors to neurotransmitters like serotonin, which help regulate mood, sleep, and appetite.  And let's not forget energy production. Some amino acids can even be used for energy if your body needs it, especially during long endurance activities or times of calorie restriction. Conditional amino acids are also needed for growing children, pregnant women, and lactating women. Studies have shown that people who received conditionally essential amino acids after surgery for bone fractures experienced fewer medical complications during recovery and had a lower risk of death. Researchers have found that cancer patients who receive branched-chain amino acids are less likely to experience complications like infections and fluid buildup in the abdomen.  Additionally, controlled clinical trials suggest that older adults recovering from knee replacement surgery can reduce muscle loss by taking essential amino acid supplements. What Is The Best Way to Get Essential Amino Acids? So, how do we make sure we're getting enough essential amino acids? The good news is that many foods provide these. For those who eat animal products, foods like chicken, beef, fish, eggs, and dairy are excellent sources of all nine essential amino acids. These are considered complete proteins because they contain all the essential amino acids your body needs.  For vegetarians and vegans, the challenge is making sure you're getting a full range of amino acids. Fortunately, there are many plant-based options, too. Foods like quinoa, soy products (tofu, tempeh), lentils, beans, and nuts are great plant-based protein sources. While some plant proteins are incomplete, combining different foods — like beans and rice — can provide all the essential amino acids. Complete protein options for vegetarians include chia and hemps seeds, buckwheat, soy products, spirulina, and edamame If you're actively trying to build muscle or recover from a workout, supplements containing essential amino acids or branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) might be helpful.  Whether you're eating a steak, a quinoa bowl, or taking a post-workout supplement, getting a variety of amino acids is key to keeping your body healthy.

In this episode of the Low Carb Hustle, we dive into the powerful combination of fasting and amino acids to boost brain health, improve gut function, and accelerate fat loss. Discover how fasting triggers autophagy, a natural process of cellular cleanup, while supplementing with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine, and valine helps preserve muscle and optimize energy levels. We also explore the role of glutamine in repairing the gut lining and enhancing insulin sensitivity, making this strategy a game-changer for anyone looking to improve health and performance. Ready to implement this strategy? Start with a 16:8 fasting routine and add essential amino acids during your fast for maximum benefits.

Are you overwhelmed by the ever-changing diet trends and confused about who to trust for nutrition advice?

This episode of the Real Science Exchange podcast was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series.Throughout the last 30 years, the dairy industry has moved to producing highly concentrated versions of milk proteins. In cows' milk, about 80% of the protein is casein and 20% is in the serum or whey phase. These ratios vary by species. There are three major caseins in cows' milk: alpha-S-casein, beta-casein, and kappa-casein. The first two are rich in phosphate for calcium binding. Kappa-casein is critical in a micellar structure that allows these structures to stay suspended in the milk. (1:21)Whey proteins also differ by species. In cows' milk, about 50% of the whey protein is beta-lactoglobulin. It's rich in branched-chain amino acids, and it is not present in human milk so it is a focus of allergy research. Alpha-lactalbumin is found in all mammals and is a cofactor for lactose production. (10:34)Caseins and whey proteins are different from one another and are in completely different classes of proteins. From structure, to size, to amino acid content, to solubility; these two types of proteins are yin and yang. (11:51)When fluid milk or whey is concentrated by removing water, some sugars and other materials dissolve via evaporation or membrane filtration. It results in dried powders, milk protein concentrate, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolates. Concentrates contain 80-85% protein and isolates contain more than 90% protein.  (17:14)What's driving the current and probably future popularity of these dairy proteins? One, is their versatility in many food applications, and the other is the superior nutritional quality of the proteins. Nearly half of the milk protein concentrate use is for mainstream nutrition and sports beverages. Similar trends have been observed for whey protein isolates. (20:05)Dairy proteins are very rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) like leucine. BCAAs help initiate protein synthesis, are important for muscle recovery, help with weight loss by maintaining blood glucose levels, are synergistic with exercise, and can promote healthy aging. Dr. Lucey gives several different examples of products utilizing dairy proteins. He predicts that the increased focus on nutrition products, interest in isolating individual proteins and improving export opportunities will continue to drive demand for dairy proteins in the future.  (27:21)All of the main milk proteins have genetic variants, which are minor amino acid differences in the same protein. Variants occur at different frequencies among breeds. Beta-casein has two variants, A1 and A2. There is one amino acid difference out of 209 total amino acids, located at position 67 where a histidine is found in variant A1 and a proline is found in variant A2. When histidine is present, the beta-casein is prone to cleavage at position 67, creating a fragment called beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7). When proline is present, it hinders the cleavage of casein at position 67. BCM-7 is an exogenous opioid peptide with the potential to elicit opioid activity on a range of tissues and organs. It's known as a “bioactive peptide” and some others from milk and cheese have been implicated as anti-hypertensive. (35:26)In the late 1990s, some researchers claimed that A1 milk was implicated in diabetes, coronary heart disease, autism, and schizophrenia. Subsequent reviews and investigations by significant international bodies found no evidence of these claims. (40:34)In closing, Dr. Lucey answers questions from the webinar audience. He talks about the potential of breeding cows customized for the production of minor milk components, milk components as renewable bio-plastics, and the superiority of milk proteins compared to plant proteins.
