The best way to get all your daily nutrients is through eating a whole food diet, but for many people that's not always possible to accomplish regularly. That's where supplementing comes in. Today, more options and brands are being marketed to consumers than ever before, making it hard to know what supplements are essential, where to start, and when you should integrate them into your routine. On this week's episode, Betina and Nic discuss what supplements they take and why they are integral to living a healthy life. They talk about which supplements may benefit listeners, the different formats of each, and when you should be taking them throughout the day. The couple covers protein powders, creatine, electrolytes, multivitamins, collagen, and pre & probiotics.

Episode 66 of the Hormone Helper Podcast: You Don't Need a Forever Diet to Balance Hormones, Reduce Inflammation, or Achieve Weight Loss 

Summary

In this episode, Coach Andrew discusses the purpose of changing nutrition and the role of meal plans and diets. He explains when and why food needs to change, focusing on weight loss, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance. Andrew emphasizes the importance of cleaning up the diet and removing trigger foods to address gut health and systemic inflammation. He also highlights the need for individualized approaches and the potential risks of long-term dieting. Andrew concludes by discussing the difference between food restriction and food discipline, and the importance of seeking professional guidance for personalized nutrition advice.

Takeaways

• Cleaning up the diet and removing trigger foods can often be enough to achieve weight loss and address inflammation.
• For individuals with gut inflammation or systemic inflammation, specific diets and protocols may be necessary to heal the gut and reduce inflammation.
• Hormonal imbalance can be a significant factor in weight issues, and addressing hormones may be necessary for long-term success.
• Food plans and diets are tools that should be used strategically and temporarily, not as long-term solutions.
• Food discipline, including portion control and listening to hunger and fullness cues, is important for maintaining a healthy relationship with food.

The Hormone Helper Podcast
Ep.58: Repetition for Results: Achieving Health and Fitness Goals

Summary:

Welcome back to another episode of the Hormone Helper Podcast. In this episode, Andrew shares valuable insights inspired by a visit to the London Air Show. He reflects on the impressive routines and performances of military pilots and how their dedication to repetition parallels the path to achieving health and fitness goals.

Andrew highlights the importance of repetition in building healthy habits and consistency in daily routines. He discusses five key areas where repetition can make a significant difference:

1. Sleep Schedule: Consistency in bedtime and wake-up times helps regulate your circadian rhythm and energy levels.

2. Hydration: Drinking eight glasses of water daily ensures proper nutrient flow and cellular function.

3. Meal Times: Establishing set meal times helps maintain a stable metabolism and prevents erratic eating patterns.

4. Meal Portions: Consistently eating similar amounts of food each day aids in maintaining nutrient balance.

5. Mental Conversation: Developing a habit of positive self-talk and focusing on your "why" can boost motivation and discipline.

Andrew also emphasizes the importance of discipline, picking yourself up after setbacks, and using positive language to reinforce your commitment to your health and fitness goals.

Repetition is the key to turning these practices into habits that feel effortless, much like the precision and control exhibited by the airshow pilots. Andrew encourages listeners to start with one area of focus and gradually build up their repetition and consistency.

If you're struggling with making repetition a part of your routine, Andrew offers coaching programs through his website, www.fit4allfitness.com, to provide guidance and accountability.

Remember, repetition is the path to achieving your health and fitness goals. Stay consistent, stay disciplined, and watch your efforts pay off over time.

Thank you for tuning in to the Hormone Helper Podcast. Until next time, stay committed to your health journey!

Hormone Helper podcast Episode 57:
Why Counting Macros Might Not Be the Answer: The Macro Dilemma 

Welcome back to the Hormone Helper Podcast with Coach Andrew, your hormone helper and nutritionist. In this episode, we dive into the world of macros (or "macrosa", as Andrew humorously calls it) and discusses why tracking them might not be the best approach for sustainable weight loss or maintenance.

Key Talking Points:

1. The Origins of Macros: Andrew takes us back to the bodybuilding days of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, explaining how macros gained popularity as a way to optimize muscle growth and recovery.
2. Macronutrients vs. Micronutrients: Andrew compares macros (carbs, proteins, fats) to the big parts of a car engine and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) to the small but crucial nuts and bolts. He emphasizes the importance of both for overall health.
3. Unique Metabolisms: Andrew simplifies the concept of varying metabolisms by likening it to different ovens—some fast, some slow. He emphasizes that genetics, age, and hormones influence metabolic speed and performance.
4. Stress and Cortisol: Andrew explains how stress affects calorie expenditure and can disrupt weight management. He discusses the importance of managing stress to maintain a healthy metabolism.
5. Mindful Eating and Long-Term Sustainability: Andrew highlights the downsides of rigid macro tracking, including potential stress, obsession, and poor food relationships. He advocates for mindful eating, listening to hunger and fullness cues, and focusing on long-term, sustainable lifestyle changes.

In conclusion, Coach Andrew encourages listeners to reconsider the obsession with tracking macros and instead prioritize balanced nutrition, managing stress, and adopting a mindful approach to eating for sustainable, healthy living.

He mentions two different types of bloating, namely hormonal bloating and digestive bloating, and provides an in-depth explanation of each.

If you ever use protein powders , collagen, or other performance supplements, you do NOT want to miss this episode.

Did you know some protein powders contain more carbs than protein?

Does your protein drink have protein from whey, casein, or soy? They don't have to specify. They can even use random amino acids to bulk it up, leaving you with a potentially incomplete protein.

Did you know "grass fed" cows may only have one day of eating grass, if sources in the US?

The economy is getting tighter, and the bottom line getting darker as companies try to cut corners to cut cost and/or boost profit.  You may be at risk of more contaminations, or at the very least, not getting what you think you are getting. 

Join us for today's Gut Check episode with Duke Armstrong, CEO & Founder of the locally owned performance supplement company, Propello Life. We dive into the "behind the scenes" world of the supplement industry. He's had years of experience from Abbott to EAS and more, and shares on The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly of the industry.
