Help patients support carbohydrate metabolism, while burning fat and reducing inflammation

Research shows a master switch for weight loss is an enzyme found in every cell in the body called AMP-K. During the investigations, scientists discovered that boosting AMP-K not only resulted in the reduction of abdominal fat, but provided an unexpected benefit: a decrease in chronic inflammation. When AMP-K is turned off, the metabolism slows down and your body tries …

Why are strength gains stability-specific? Part 4

In Part 3  of this series, we touched on magnitude of external load affecting stability-specific strength gains. Here in Part 4, we’ll discuss if the need to balance causes stability-specific strength gains. Does the need to balance affect stability-specific strength gains? When using machines to perform an exercise, the balance challenge involved is smaller than when using free weights to perform a very similar exercise. Similarly, …

Why are strength gains stability-specific? Part 1

Many strength coaches recommend against training on unstable surfaces when using free weights for improving sports performance. Leaving aside safety issues, the main reason given is that lighter weights are used in less stable conditions. And this makes sense, because lighter weights lead to smaller strength gains. Many coaches also recommend against using multi-joint machines like the leg press, when preparing athletes for sport. The reason given for this is that the …

Oxidative Phosphorylation: How to Assess, Address and Re-Test, Part 2

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we talked about oxidative phosphorylation, a process by which the body’s cells make energy but also create cellular waste that has to be managed and neutralized. Excessive buildup of cellular waste will lead to accelerated aging, disruption of systemic pH, inflammation and more.  Here in Part 2, we’ll discuss steps for using evidence-based …
