3 Ways To Improve Your Kettlebell Swing
(#287) In this episode, you'll get 3 key tips to immediately improve your kettlebell swing. I wanted to give you some specific, actionable training advice - no matter where you are in your training. While the hardstyle - or Russian - kettlebell swing seems like an easy exercise, there are always ways we can continuously refine our technique to get maximum benefit. You'll get 3 simple things you can walk away with after listening and go and implement in your kettlebell training - today. Our proud podcast partner is Momentous. Momentous is my #1 recommended protein that is available on the market today. This protein source is the highest-quality, it tastes amazing, and it's well-tolerated. Don't settle for sub-standard protein supplements. Momentous is simply outstanding. Available in whey or plant-based varieties. Check out LiveMomentous.com/Rdella and use the code "RDELLA20" to save $20 off your first order. I've been using the "Absolute Zero Grass-Fed Whey" blend and also the Plant-Based blend, as well. With Momentous, you have different protein source options and great varieties to choose from. I typically mix Momentous with frozen organic strawberries and a 50/50 blend of unsweetened almond/coconut milk and it is FANTASTIC! (https://www.livemomentous.com/pages/partners-rdella) [jbox color="grey" radius ="2"] The Momentous Minute with Tim Caron Today's Momentous Minute is with Tim Caron, the owner of Allegiate Gym and performance engineer at Momentous, the sports nutrition company on a mission to clean up the supplement industry. Today's question is around plant-based versus whey-based proteins and the big question is when should you use a plant-based protein versus a whey-based protein? Tim Caron: More people than you realize actually have an intolerance or an allergy towards whey protein. Whey is a very fast digesting protein, so when you're looking at something that quickly digests, you may potentially have some adverse reactions. Signs and symptoms including distended gut, some skin irritation, inflamed joints, potentially loose stools, excessive flatulence, acute nausea. These might be all indications that you're not tolerating your whey protein as well as you should. Now, we need to supplement something in terms of getting increased protein levels, so a plant-based protein, usually kind of a combination of rice, hemp, and pea from really high quality sources, organic, and things that actually blend to make a complete protein. Plant based protein might be a really good alternative that doesn't have as much digestive issues as a whey protein. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast? Then, please take a minute to review the show.

A Balanced Life is a Lie
(#286) Training, work, family, projects. Is there such a thing as a balanced life? In this week's session, I had a great question from our community member Anthony who wanted me to open up about how I train and achieve work-life balance. Here's the truth, life balance (or work-life balance) is a myth. There's no such thing. But this is actually good when you understand how it works and how it actually makes your life better. This was something I discovered years ago and now I'm sharing this with you. I'll tell you the secrets to how I've sustained my excitement and passion for training for decades and how I manage this through life's challenges and stresses. [click_to_tweet tweet="To achieve an extraordinary result - you must choose what matters most and give it the time it demands. This requires getting extremely out of balance at times.

Today's question is can you explain the different whey sources on the market? For example, isolate, concentrate, hydrolysate, can you explain what they mean and how they're different? Tim Caron: Isolate is a whey protein extracting out all the fat and just leaving the form of protein in terms of whey. Hydrolysate is basically an isolate that goes through a heating process, breaks down the peptides in to more individual amino acids and removes excess amounts of casein and sugar, specifically lactose. In the case of whey, they bio-availability and the rapid absorption is really, really important, which makes a big difference in terms of post-workout amino acid pool. We want to have one that's a little more broken down. The caveat to that is having an ability to digest whey and if it is really quick digesting and you have digestive issues, you're going to have a hard time with a very fast breaking down whey protein, like a hydrolysate. So, altering that potentially with a plant-based protein might be something you need to look into based off your ability to digest these really quick digesting proteins.

Matt Wan - The Bold Vision To Disrupt Sports Nutrition
(#285) Matt Wan, the dynamic CEO and Founder of Momentous, joins the show this week. Matt shares his story about getting started in training and what he learned at a very young age about the importance of nutrition. His story is what ultimately drove him to "make a difference" and do something bold to disrupt the sports nutrition industry. Here's what you'll learn this week: Why we should care about Matt's passions in fitness The #1 thing Matt learned when he started training Why Matt wanted to enter the highly competitive sports nutrition industry The shocking truth about the products that professional athletes use The product brand Matt uses himself (outside of Momentous) Why premium products come at a cost How a consumer can determine if a product is high-quality? An overview of "standards and label certifications" - what do they mean? The "performance car" analogy (and what it means in choosing supplements) What we should know about pricing - why you get what you pay for How to know if a protein supplement is "high quality" Why it's important to get a "one source" protein The difference between the 3 whey-based proteins at Momentous How Momentous was able to make such a great tasting product "Real world" experience and feedback from athletes and dietitians The importance of prohydrolase What Matt's "go to" protein shake consists of... Some very interesting facts about organic plant-based proteins The "why" behind all the key ingredients to make a high-quality protein His bold vision about the next few years A specific actionable takeaway after hearing our interview... Our proud podcast partner is Momentous. Momentous is my #1 recommended protein that is available on the market today.

Today's question is how much protein can be consumed and utilized by the body at one time and what can alter protein consumption? Tim Caron: It depends a lot on your ability to digest proteins and your overall body mass. More muscle mass usually leads to more overall calories or individual macronutrients, in general, in specific to protein. So, when we take protein in abundance, this has a high satiety level and satiety means that we're going to get filled really fast. It's really difficult to determine an exact amount, but typically the bigger you are and the better you digest proteins, the more you can do that, which leads to the quality of the protein. You don't need as much when you have a higher quality of protein relative to eating a lower quality of protein mixed with some other things that might affect your actual satiety levels - like high sugar, maybe really processed foods, savory, salty foods. Getting higher quality protein, in conjunction with higher quality foods, helps your ability to digest and assimilate proteins at a higher level. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast?
