Today we discuss the science of delusion, how changes in the length of our days can cause changes in our behavior, and a potential new life saving drug to fight the current opioid crisis.

Extended day length during the brooding period is thought to benefit broilers' long-term performance and well-being. However, a University of Georgia study has re-evaluated that idea and found no detrimental impact of dark periods applied during that early production phase.

In this week's show, recorded before the Euro 2021 final, Dr Chris explains why Inuits survive on polar fare with impunity but Shackleton's crew developed nutritional deficiency when they were stuck in the Antarctic. Also, why laser beams are bad for goalkeepers, if energy drinks are dangerous, why squinting sharpens vision, if there humans with better senses than average, and what is meant by the percentage chance of rain?

Nugget Of the Day: “Length of Service Alone will never form a military man. For after serving many years, an undisclpinied solider is still a novice in his profession.” This quote leads us into our guest today Grant Fowler. Grant is the owner of Fowler Fitness where he works with athletes online and in person with the goal of a holistic high performance approach to training. I first heard of Grant on my good friend Jake Tuuras podcast and loved his approach to training and life. Grant is another young strength coach with his own business so we have a ton to talk about today. In this podcast we discussed setting your worth, variation in training and Grants approach to Holistic High Performance. Keep Chopping Wood
