708 - How Does Thermodynamics Apply To Nutrition? (with CSO Dr. Brandon Roberts)

Thermodynamics and nutrition have one major thing in common: they both involve energy.Thermodynamics is generally talked about with heat, efficiency, or the transfer of energyNutrition is always about calories.. And it is often questioned whether a calorie is always a calorie.1st law of thermodynamics = energy is conserved2nd law of thermodynamics = energy transfer is not 100% efficient, often some is lost as heatA great example of thermodynamics applied to nutrition is macronutrients. We know that different macronutrients have different thermic effects. For example, protein has a much higher thermogenic effect than fat - about 20% compared to 0%. So not all calories are the same.Next, we have to think about what thermodynamics generally refers to and that’s closed systems.  A closed system always contains the same matter. There can be no mass transfers across the boundary. There may be energy transfer across the boundary. So, is the human body a closed system? Nope. We eat, digest, and pass food/water through our systems. Food is matter.Now, where some people disagree is whether the ketogenic diet can offer some type of metabolic advantage over traditional diets. —-To Download The Tailored Trainer and Gain Unlimited Access To Expert Programming, Sign Up Here: Tailored Trainer Sign Up PageTo Get Your Questions Answered On The Podcast: Ask Us Here!1st Phorm Supps: To Get FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING and Support The Podcast, Get Your Supplements At 1st Phorm Using Our Link: www.1stphorm.com/tailoredcoachingmethodTo Apply For Coaching: Click HereDownload 1 (or ALL) Of Our FREE GUIDES: www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/guidesPrivate Podcast FB Community: Be Part Of The Conversation and Community, RIGHT HERE.—Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ- My Story----Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/TailoredCoachingMethodEmail – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.com Cody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC, Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness and More…

704 - Can Supplements Help Reduce Anxiety? (with CSO Dr. Brandon Roberts)

Anxiety occurs in 10-15% of people and can be chronic or acute. Anxiety disorders are twice as common in women compared to men.  Examples of anxiety: social, general, separation, phobias Medical treatment: In clinical practice, first-line treatments for anxiety are lifestyle changes, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and then drugs, which sounds a lot like treatments for obesity, right? Drugs: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) exert their action by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, thereby increasing serotonin activity. The downside of SSRIs are side effects like nausea, headache, drowsiness and a few others.  Alternative: lavender oil a herbal medicinal product Administration: capsules, massage oils, inhaled oils  Active ingredient: The key active constituents of lavender that are responsible for its calming and sedative effects are linanyl acetate and linalool.  Mechanism: Antagonization of NMDA (N-Methyl-D-aspartate) and GABA-related receptors in the central nervous system that influence muscle contraction, as well as inhibition of the serotonin transporter. Evidence: A systematic review and meta-analysis from 2019 covered 65 randomized controlled trials and 25 non-randomized studies. Of those, 37 were used for quantitative analysis. The study population ranged from surgical patients to undergraduate students. The main outcome was the change in anxiety from lavender compared to a placebo or other oil.  One of the most studied forms of lavender is Silexan, which is a lavender oil preparation available in 80-mg capsules. Silexan® is registered in Germany as an over-the-counter medicinal product and commercialized in the form of branded capsules, while, in other countries, it is marketed as a dietary supplement. The study found a strong effect for reducing anxiety in those who took Silexan daily. The meta-analysis indicated a weaker (but still moderate) effect of inhalation of lavender oil. The authors also found the  overall quality of available evidence is low, with around 89% of included RCTs characterized by a high risk of bias. This means that we need more controlled research to determine the optimal way to use lavender to reduce anxiety.Take home: Lavender might be worth trying to take the edge off your anxiety. There is currently no harm in taking lavender.
