Preventing Neurodegeneration and new East Stop Eat contest

Preventing Neurodegeneration and New Eat Stop Eat Contest

New Contest

I did a very cool interview with Brad Pilon of Eat Stop Eat in yesterday’s post.  I know everyone is super busy and the interview is a whole hour long, but I want to give you an incentive to check out the post by having another contest.

Review of Eat Stop Eat: Intermittent Fasting to Lose Body Fat

Starting now until this Friday Jan 15, 2010 at midnight central time, I am going to give away a free copy of my lectures on protein, fat and carbs.  They will take you through all the basics and distill YEARS of info into about 4 hours.  You will get them on MP3 so you can listen to them anywhere.  I will have this product out for sale (at some point soon, silly dissertation work) so you will be getting it WAY in advance.

4 Hour lectures Series: The Truth About Protein, Fats and Carbs: For FREE?

No matter what your goal, you need to know about how protein, carbs and fat affect your performance; from recovery to fat loss. Now you can take time to read all the websites, all the latest research and sift through all the information out there or you can just sit back and listen to a lecture on each one.  Nevermind that most of the information out there is conflicting and you will probably end up confused!

The lectures are from an Advanced 12 Week Nutrition online course I did this past summer; so you get to hear live questions being answered. The sound quality is good, but nothing stellar as I did not initially planned to release it; but after getting numerous questions about are fats evil, too many carbs will make my fat, too much protein will destroy my kidneys; I decided to release them and clear up some massive confusion.

Value: a normal hour of my time is currently $110 an hour x 4 hours = $440, you will get it for free IF you are selected!

  • 1 lecture on protein
  • 1 lecture on carbohydrates
  • 1 lecture on fats
  • All on MP3 to put on your ipod

Here is some feedback from the overall course that each person paid $300 for a full 12 week course (you are just getting the first 3 weeks)

Seriously, it was most invaluable.

Was it worth the money?  Absolutely.  Very thorough. I would sign up again for the same topic or similar ones.  Keep me on your list please if that happens.

Was it worth the money? Yes

Mike is very up-to-date with current literature and research

Tom Gallo Grinnell, Iowa

Occupation Physical Therapist

 

Was it worth the money? Yes.  It motivated me to probe more detailed into the material  to ask questions that were not perhaps covered in the reading material.

No matter how much you know about nutrition  ( I have some background) , a person can continue to learn and benefit from others who have studied and researched the same subject.  Also, you are genuinely interested in assisting, answering questions and your sincerity comes across.  I feel I have a great resource in you now and I could write to you at anytime and ask questions, etc.

Preventing Neurodegeneration

As you know I am a huge neuroscience geek and am convinced that the concept of brain neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to undergo physical changes) will have HUGE impacts to fitness, sports performance and overall health.

Dr. Bryan Walsh over at Precision Nutrition had a great article on Preventing Neurodegeneration that just came out, so check it out below.

Preventing Neurodegeneration

by Bryan Walsh

Take a moment and think about an elderly person you know.

* How well do they taste or smell their food?

* How good is their memory?

* How well can they balance or walk?

* How healthy is their digestion?

If they haven’t aged gracefully, chances are they can’t do any of those things very well. And you can thank their brain function for these symptoms of degeneration.

Anti-Aging Gone Wrong

The degree to which the elderly can perform normal daily activities is directly related to the amount of brain degeneration they’re experiencing in their twilight years. In fact, the anti-aging movement has it completely wrong. It’s not about hormones. It is about brain function.

When your brain stops functioning, your body stops functioning. And conversely, the healthier your brain, the healthier your digestion, your response to stress, your hormones and your response to exercise.

In this article, we’ll provide a broad overview of a very complex system in the body, the brain. Plus, we’ll share some ways of nutritionally improving your brain function today.

Your Brain – The Basics

Your brain is a vital organ that helps run every other system in our body. For example, 90% of the brain stem’s output goes into something called the pontomedulary reticular formation, which stimulates the vagus nerve.

Uh, what?

Well, that’s just a fancy way of saying that 90% of your brain’s output directly impacts activities such as digestion, gastrointestinal motility, enzyme production and salivation, and other parasympathetic activities.
