Advanced Nutrition

This week we talk Advanced nutrition with Gary Collins. After having Gary on about his off grid project I wanted to pick his brain on more nutrition. Gary, creator of the primal power method, has been in the industry longer than the competition. He is one of the few Master Level personal trainers. He knows his stuff when it comes to advanced nutrition.

I hit Gary with some tough ones this week. Many questions that I have on my health journey. I feel though that many have the same problems. There is a lot of talk in the health blogs on intermittent fasting, gut health, and weight loss stalls.

Gary handles all my hard ball questions without flinching. The mark of a true expert. On many points we agreed completely. On a few I heard answers I didn’t expect. That got me excited. One of Gary’s tops supplements he recommends is turmeric, which is good for weight loss. That’s not something you hear from others in the field.

Gary goes in-depth on the topics. We spent a good 20 minutes on just intermittent fasting. The whys and hows. We also talk about who fasting is not for. It is a great tool for weight loss. But not right for everyone. Definitely not for beginners, elite athletes or bodybuilders. If you are trying to put on mass restricting your eating to a small window is stupid. If you are largely sedentary and trying to lose the last few pounds it works great.

I love Gary’s take on blood work and supplements. There are several supplements to be taking without any blood work. Vitamin D3 is one. We can guarantee that if you live in the continental 48 you need it. If blood testing was cheaper testing would be or viable.

James,
Have you looked into getting a food allergy test? My wife and I both got one. I found it great, as it outlined which food I was allergic to in a spectrum. Example: I was mildly allergic to eggs (which I ate all the time) and to dairy (I used to drink whey protein drinks and it always made me feel off). Add them together in say a cheese cake, and I feel terrible. I think it was a great way to get some data and then watch how your body responds to the food it felt intolerant to. I switched to Vega (pea protein) and now I feel fine when I have protein shakes.
If you want to see what the results look like, I could email it to you. It isn’t cheap, but it was an excellent purchase (I had to go through a natural-path, which I am luke warm about the idea).
