I'm an active 38yr young full time mom to two boys, 5 and 3. And I have an A1c problem. This isn't a new problem, so I cant blame it on my still occasionally disrupted sleep. Years before my kids my A1C was 5.7 and as a dietitian I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. At that time I lifted weights, occasionally swam, and ran 1-2x wk. I didn't eat 100% paleo, but I also didn't eat junk and I was relatively lean around 14-16% body fat. I worked with a naturopath on some hormone issues (low estrogen and progesterone from not eating enough to fuel exercise), and she never had a good answer as to why my a1c was on the high side of normal. The only factor we found was my fasting insulin was kinda low at 3. I did get my A1c down into the 4s following a keto diet, but was again not eating enough food to maintain my weight or support hormone production and lost my period. I used a CGM for a while and nothing surprising came from it other than sweet potatoes = giant spikes but pasta and white potatoes do not. Fast forward to now, I'm 5'3" 124# and guessing around 18% body fat. I started competing in Kettlebell Sport 2yr ago and I want to continue getting stronger so I can lift 16kg bells this coming year. My coach wants me to put on 3-5# of muscle. But my recent A1C once again at 5.7 has me scared to eat the 180-200g of carbs recommended by him and most fitness calculators. I'm in a hypertrophy phase for the next couple months and lifting heavy 4x wk with no real cardio. Daily food is often a high protein/fiber smoothie with about 30-40g of carb and 10+g fiber. Post workout I usually have a cup of cereal or kids cliff bar + whey protein powder. Lunch is usually a big ass salad + a piece of bread or leftovers meat and veg with rice, pasta, potato. When I track these days I do get 130-150g protein. I have a dietitian friend who has gone through Joel Greens program and she believes the issue lies in my gut and that underlying inflammation is disrupting my insulin signaling. Because we cant come up with any other ideas as to the cause. So what's a girl todo? Keto gains? Lean Gains? Jason Seib's old AltShift diet? Joel Greens 2 day core? How do I eat enough calories to support my goals of strength and maintaining my hormone levels, while simultaneously not overeating carbs. Or is 5.7 good enough? Thanks for any thoughts you might have.   Proper Supplement Absorption Angie writes:  I'm looking for solid information on vitamin and supplement absorption and best time of day to be taken. Can you shed light on this? It is one thing to know or Rx for supplement but another when and with what to take or not take with it. Great show! Thank you   What do you feed your dogs?  Jason writes: I have been a fan of y'all since I read sacred cow, currently I'm reading wired to eat.  I try to practice carnivore, but with life and kids I'm moderately successful, but overall happy with my diet choices. I'm also a veterinarian and after reading your books and thinking about our 4 legged friends, I'm trying to figure out what diets to recommend.  I have recommended canned food for cats for years because they are obligate carnivores.  Dogs are a little tougher, I feel like they would benefit from the carnivore lifestyle, but who has time to cook for their pets that much?  I barely have time to feed myself and family.  So what do the wolf's feed their dogs?   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Mike Silverman and Jordan Kunde-Wright take the reigns for this episode of the LivingFit Show to answer two of the most common questions they get asked as coaches:* What's the truth about Turkish get-ups?

They also explain what kettlebell sport is and how it differs from other types of kettlebell training.

“Pain isn't going anywhere, it's always going to feel the same, but how you decide to categorize it is what changes.  I can't change that it hurts, but I can change that I don't care. As a fighter and martial artist, the biggest thing to ensure your success is that no matter what situation you are in, there is an acceptance of pain.  Once you fully take that on board you have become a very dangerous individual.” – Paul McIlroyMy guest this episode is Paul McIlroy, who is one of the most sought-after Sports Scientists in the World.  He is a former Boxer, a Martial Artist, a Powerlifting Champion, and a world class Kettlebell Instructor under Pavel Tsatsouline.  He has coached and trained World Champions in Powerlifting, Kettlebell Sport, and Combat Sports.  He is the founder and creator of the Amazing 12, The World's #1 Body Transformation Program that has produced over 10,000 transformations in 148 countries.This episode is all about physical and mental strength as a martial art.  We dive deep into the mathematics of strength and conditioning and how kettlebell training directly transfers to martial arts and sport combat.  My Key takeaway is that the ability to relax your mind under pressure and accept pain is essential for success in our endeavors.  When we feel pain or discomfort the mind wants to give up, we have to train the mind and body to find our center and make adjustments so we can endure.  When training we need to programmatically approach our sessions with the goal of progressively expanding our comfort zones.  If we can embrace pain and teach ourselves to become comfortable in uncomfortable situations, we begin to remove the limits of what is possible.  This is an eye-opening conversation with an innovator in Martial Arts Strength and Conditioning.  I have a tremendous amount of respect for Paul's work and I hope this conversation inspires you to find out what your mind and body are truly capable off.

We are more than who we think we are. We are more than what we do. There's a time and a place for the hustle and the grind but we need to develop those pause points and moments in our day to reflect: Is that actually true? Or is that coming from a wound, projection, idea, or conditioning. - Mike Salemi Are You Stressed Out Lately?

If you're looking at your week in your calendar and you're hustling from 7 AM to 7 PM, where does the rest can come outside of just the sleep?" - Mike Salemi   Down-Regulated State + Balance "Creating the space and the openness for the opportunity to create a down-regulated state, anything you can do practically speaking and taking an honest inventory of how much and where your energy is already going, you can help balance that and anything you do will be helpful. - Mike Salemi   How To Prevent Resentment "If I'm doing all this stuff for everybody else at the expense of certain things that are costing me pain or my own sense of freedom, at a certain point I'm either going to be resenting them or I'm going to start resenting myself." - Mike Salemi   Links From Today's Show  Mike Salemi The Path Podcast Laurie Rice-Salemi Justin Brien on The Path Podcast Paul Chek Men of Movement Retreat Johnny Blackburn David Deida 457 Josh Trent: Solocast | Healing The Father Wound, 100+ Hours Fasting, Vision Questing + Being Alone With Mother Nature's Wisdom Ya'Acov Darling Khan Joe Dispenza What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Today I'm talking to kettlebell sport world champion and Master of Sport Juan Pellot. Spoiler alert: Juan is actually my coach, and I interact with him pretty darn regularly. But we're flipping the script this time, and I'm asking Juan to dive deep on the differences between kettlebells as a training tool versus contested sport, and why the latter — a sport popular in Eastern Europe — has taken so long to catch on in the Western world. And does a kettlebell sport set really feel like doing the CrossFit workout Fran for 10 minutes straight?

About This Episode: Dr. Pond's life took a turn toward sports medicine when he suffered a tear in his right shoulder while pursuing a passion in competitive rugby. The options posed to him were a) get the shoulder surgically repaired or b) stop tackling people and having fun-- so he chose c) develop a demanding and experimental shoulder stabilization routine and continue to play pain-free. After his successful experiment, he was inspired to pursue a degree that would give him the opportunity to share that same level of success with others. Now as a sports chiropractor, Dr. Pond is a resource to coaches and athletes who seek an alternative to injury care beyond rest, ibuprofen or surgery. As a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, he serves as the team physician of Seattle's Pro Rugby Club, the Seattle Seawolves and The Ivan Salaverry MMA Team.

One of our more popular guests, Ken Blackburn (http://ikff.net), returns with his son Mitch. Mitch spent most of his childhood as the shorter, skinnier kid, compared to most of the kids he grew up with. However, in one summer, he became morbidly obese. How did Mitch find his way from skinny, to obese, to becoming a high level kettlebell sport athlete, the youngest kettlebell Master of Sport in the U.S., & packing on size, strength, and muscle? Also, what role did Ken play in Mitch's transformation and what other parents can learn from the relationship between Ken & Mitch?   Tune in, as we discuss all of this, as well as the following:   How did kettlebell sport take a page out of the computer giant, Apple's playbook, in terms of women in the sport What is Ken's opinion as to why women's attraction to kettlebell sport is growing at an even faster pace than ever before Is efficient kettlebell sport training detrimental to physique composition When is bodybuilder-styled training useful when used with kettlebell sport training Why Ken is getting "beach body ready" for Las Vegas & why Mr. Olympia competitors should be excited Ken describes his relationship with his son, Mitch and how their relationship has played a major role in his sports accomplishments   What was it about kettlebell training that appealed to Mitch, as a teen, and how did it lead him to go from being a morbidly obese kid to becoming lean, as well as the youngest Master of Sport in the U.S. How does Ken avoid being the over-bearing father, who has been an active athlete for most of his life, and not pressure Mitch to do the same Why taking your son to the "Bunny Ranch" is not the best father/son bonding experience How did Mitch go from being a skinny kid to morbidly obese, over the course of a summer Why addiction is very similar to One Direction, Harry Styles, & waking up face down and nude in a hotel hallway Why having cheat meals is the suckiest form of motivation & why it's like having a questionable relationship How parents who try to be their kid's best friend get it wrong and how they can fix it Why all things that may be "gluten free" may not be that healthy, especially at "questionable" establishments in Las Vegas ;-) Ken discusses how to train around injuries The guys finally discuss upcoming UFC matchups, including the Jon Jones/Daniel Cormier media day beatdown Why this is a great month to donate to savethechimps.org   Links & Resources mentioned in the show:   1.James Altucher's books: http://budurl.com/jaltucher 2.
