“The Entitled Athlete vs the Deserving Athlete”
Balancing Cardio Training and Diet-induced Weight Loss
Many physique athletes take things to extremes. Dieting and training are no exception. Too often you’ll see an athlete performing hours upon hours of cardio and/or reducing calories to half of what they consumed in the off season in an attempt to get super lean. It sometimes seems to become a contest of who can suffer the most.
My Experience With Bands And Chains
So, if you’ve read my previous stuff, you already know that I’ve “been around a long time” as I often put it. I’ve seen all the trends that keep getting recycled over and over again, by rolled into a new “system” that looks amazingly like an old system.
Vitamin D Replacement Improves Muscle Efficiency
Mar. 18, 2013 — New research shows for the first time a link between vitamin D levels and muscle efficiency. Vitamin D supplementation may also be effective in improving skeletal muscle function.

Top 3 Ways To Wear Out Your Shoulder
Over the past month at my office, Pinnacle Chiropractic, we have been working with an innovative approach to treating shoulder dysfunction. So far, it’s working with ridiculously amazing results. It’s something we had never really thought of, although the answer had been staring us in the face since our first neurology class. Well, maybe we needed the physiology class, too, but either way, we definitely have a lot more satisfied patients now.
In the course of the last year or two there have been significant changes within the fitness and performance nutrition world; most of which happening through and within the online bodybuilding realm. The culture itself has shifted. The sentiment most commonly shared now is that of a question everything mentality via a scientific approach. Nutritional cornerstones of the bodybuilding world have simply been turned upside down; these challenged concepts have been labeled by many as that of "broscience". Meal timing, carbohydrate sources, overall food sources, glycemic index, optimal macronutrient splits, effectiveness of certain dietary supplements etc have all been recently challenged and debated upon.

Are Carbs at Night the Fat Cells Delight?
I've heard it time and time again. "Doctor Whyte, I've been fat my whole life and I've only had diabetes for a year, so it can't be related to my weight." Or "My child is big-boned. He'll lose weight once he starts to grow more. There's nothing to worry about." Unfortunately, we have a lot to worry about as we continue to put on the pounds. We're quickly becoming a country of overweight and obese people. Obesity is a real problem in the U.S. because it's making us sick -- literally!
In the late 1970s, only about 15% of American adults aged 20 to 74 and about 5% of kids were obese1. Today, it's up to about a third of adults and 17% of kids and teens2. Another third of folks are overweight. The scary part is that if you are actually at a normal weight, you're part of the minority! That's a big problem. Unfortunately, extra weight brings a whole host of health problems that get worse when we're carrying all those extra pounds . . . and actually get better when we lose weight, supplement correctly and increase our time exercising.
