EMB #585: How to See Results Working Out Less
06/03/2023 Duration: 30minMany people believe that in order to get fit, they must spend countless hours in the gym, working out like a bodybuilder. However, research has shown that this is not necessarily true. In fact, 25-minute workouts can be just as effective, if not more effective, in achieving fitness goals than longer workouts. Here are some reasons why you don't need to workout for hours at a time like a bodybuilder and how 25-minute workouts are more effective in seeing results. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of exercise that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by brief periods of rest. HIIT workouts typically last between 20-30 minutes and have been shown to be highly effective in burning fat, increasing cardiovascular endurance, and improving overall fitness levels. HIIT workouts also require less time than traditional cardio workouts, making them a convenient option for people with busy schedules. Increased Metabolic RateResearch has shown that

EMB #584: The Forgotten About Macro: Antioxidants/Fibre
26/02/2023 Duration: 30minMost people don’t consider the health benefits when it comes to veggies, which is exactly what this category is. Just before this section I did talk about vegetables but let’s offer a slightly different angle to help you understand the importance here. The reason we call it the forgotten macronutrient is because many people actually and literally forget about it. What’s for dinner, ‘steak and potatoes’. What about a roast, or even ‘fried chicken’, and how about a ‘fish and chips’. Those are all staples in the SAD (Standard (North) American Diet). When is veggies listed, almost never likely because it makes kids and adults skin crawl all the same Most likely because many didn’t grow up with veggies being a staple in their diet. Most people don’t know how to buy, prepare, or even store vegetables. Lucky for you, if you didn’t learn that growing up, you’ll be going through this program to teach you exactly that. As of more recently a plant based diet has been gaining positive exposure and momentum in

EMB #583: Where do you get your protein from?
19/02/2023 Duration: 30minProtein is probably the most difficult macronutrient to discuss simply because we all grew up a certain way and to try and change the thought process is extremely difficult. I’m not trying to change your thought process here, more so, I’m trying to show you that it doesn’t always have to be a certain way simply because that’s what you know. We can get protein from different sources other than from meat or animal sources. But first let me explain the levels of protein and how I suggest we choose. When it comes to most food, I like to take the utilization approach. So when it comes to these foods let’s talk about how our bodies process them.In this order I’d suggest considering what ‘proteins’ you’ll add to each meal to make sure you have a complete macronutrients profile. Eggs Fish Chicken Turkey Red Meat Ok so from the list above we can see how I suggest we make our choices and in this case that’s from top to bottom and here is why. Eggs, especially egg whites, process very qui

EMB #582: Carbs: Eat This Not That
12/02/2023 Duration: 29minCarbohydrates often get a bad wrap because of the new diets out there where people try to avoid carbs all together. It’s extremely difficult to avoid carbs all together. Which makes restrictive diets that request few or no carbs at all seemingly impossible to follow. Think about it, we have carbs in the morning for toast, oatmeal, french toast, or pancakes (which is usually created with a wheat product). Then we often have a sandwich for lunch or a roll with a side salad. And it’s no different when it comes to supper. Which often includes pasta or pizza night, baked potatoes or another type of roll. Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t do that. I’ll explain shortly that I believe carbs are a good thing if you pick the right ones and consume them in moderation. You may have noticed as I explained the SAD includes carbs in every meal and not the best ones. We carb load almost every single day, and I didn’t even include fast food in that example. It’s no one why as a society we’re overweight, we lack

EMB #579: Random Thoughts #4
24/01/2023 Duration: 30minhttps://youtu.be/2f6nGuIHK8s This show is a bunch of little snippets, so if you guys aren’t quite familiar with us on social media, that’s what we do. We’re all over social media. We do lives, we do reels, we do stories, we do posts, and we’ve been doing that for years. That’s kind of how we have grown our business, fortunately, and Reels is kind of the thing right now. Everyone’s doing reels, so we got to do reels too. So obviously how social media works, they push the algorithms to do the kind of things that they want you to do for whatever reason. I think honestly tiktok’s blown up, so everyone’s kind of copying. But at any rate, what I’ve done here is, we’ve put together 30 to 60 second clips we grabbed them from social media and we threw them together in a show. I think they’re pretty good clips. You may disagree, but I thought, why not throw those together in a show podcast audio format only so you guys can listen. So you’re going to hear a bunch of different clips and they’ll be splitters

EMB #563: Behind the Scenes of Manufacturing Your Own Supplements
25/09/2022 Duration: 30minWe couldn't be more grateful to have you tuning in with us today to learn about manufacturing supplements. I know that might sound a bit dry to some people, but I also feel like it's a pretty important topic because when you're going to buy supplements, you should know where they come from. You should know who you're supporting, what type of ingredients, what type of ethics are happening in and around the products that are being manufactured for you. For example, you go to box stores, but if you go to independent, specialized companies, it's completely different. I'm going to go over that on today's show. I'm going to give you some insights of what happens, the inside scoop, and what happens when you're trying to manufacture and design your own products. https://youtube.com/shorts/Qv1f3b3DgVc
