    127. Protein, Creatine & Consistency for Longevity: A Deep Dive into Fitness Science | Dr. Jim Stoppani
    Jul 2 2024
    Want to enhance health, performance, and longevity? Creatine supplementation may be a resource to support your goals. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix and fitness expert Dr. Jim Stoppani explore this supplement and discuss practical strategies for optimizing health and human performance. Dr. Stoppani shares his insights on the importance of consistent training and introduces his “30-60 rule” to keep metabolism active. He emphasizes strength training’s role in preventing age-related muscle loss and highlights the superiority of strength training over cardio for fat loss. The conversation also covers the importance of adequate protein intake, especially for older adults, and dispels myths about high protein diets. Dr. Stoppani explains how creatine supports not just muscle growth, but also cognitive performance and mental health. Join Dr. Fix and Dr. Stoppani on The Code for practical advice on training, supplementation, and strategies to enhance health and longevity. Quotes • “I compare the workout to being an athlete. And again, you may not be a competitive athlete, but you’re an athlete of life, right? Now it’s going to make you look better. You’re going to be stronger, faster. You’re going to have more endurance, which is wonderful. But it doesn't mean now that you’ve achieved that hour of work, even if it’s an hour and a half that the rest of the day, you can sit on the train or in your car, go home, and sit and watch TV. You have to be active even if you get your workout in.” (17:21 | Dr. Jim Stoppani) • “We’re now realizing that science is showing that strength training is so critical for longevity. Because what happens as we age? We get sarcopenia. We start losing muscle mass. That’s when our quality of life starts to go downhill. You’re getting frail, you’re getting weak. And the only way to prevent that is with strength training.” (22:25 | Dr. Jim Stoppani) • “We need to stop thinking of creatine as this muscle builder. It’s one of the most critical energy molecules that almost every cell in the body is going to use, particularly the nervous system, not just the muscle cells.” (38:07 | Dr. Jim Stoppani) • “I think everybody should consider protein and creatine, but before you start worrying about getting beta alanine for performance or EGCG for health, what does your diet look like? You can’t out-supplement a poor diet. Your diet is the foundation, and supplements are just additions to support it. The diet needs to be solid. You need to make sure you’re getting enough protein, quality healthy fats, and quality carbs and fiber. Then, worry about the supplementation.” (01:00:24 | Dr. Jim Stoppani) Links Connect with Dr. Jim Stoppani: https://www.instagram.com/jimstoppani/ https://www.instagram.com/jymsupps/ https://www.jimstoppani.com/?v=2 https://jymsupplementscience.com/ SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS Movemate:

  • 126. Going Against the Grain to Eliminate Foot Pain

    126. Going Against the Grain to Eliminate Foot Pain
    Jun 25 2024

    Think of your shoes as the foundation for your body’s performance. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix delves into the critical role of proper footwear in maintaining foot health and overall performance. Broadcasting from his Nissan Pathfinder, Dr. Fix compares the functionality of his vehicle to the importance of choosing the right shoes for safe and efficient movement.

    Dr. Fix highlights how modern shoes, particularly dress shoes, often have narrow toe boxes that force toes into unnatural positions, leading to common foot issues like plantar fasciitis and bunions. He praises brands like Xero Shoes, Altra, Topo Athletic, and Vivoarbefoot for their wider toe boxes, which allow for natural foot mechanics and better overall foot health.

    Drawing from observations of his son Aiden’s naturally wide toes, Dr. Fix challenges conventional uses of orthotics and emphasizes the importance of shoes that let toes splay naturally. He shares success stories of clients who transitioned to these types of shoes and saw significant improvements.

    Tune into this episode of The Code to discover how the right footwear can transform your foot health and enhance your overall performance.

    Quotes

    • “Shoe companies make shoes with a lot of cushion. They narrow towards the front and we start to develop foot issues. Two of the most common—plantar fasciitis and bunions—are so preventable. They’re so preventable if we just don't put ourselves in the environment that breeds that situation.” (05:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

    • “We were born with a mechanism in the foot where we have a nice strong arch that is intended to resist the forces of the activity we’re doing.” (06:44 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

    • “You need to rehab and prehab the foot. You need to work on toe strength. You need to work on foot mobility. You need to get yourself out of that shoe so your foot can splay. You need to mobilize those joints to get them loosened back up after being crammed in that narrow shoe. But a wider toe box shoe for normal daily life, for running, to me is just simply non-negotiable.” (14:50 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

    • “I want to help everyone get their feet stronger. I want to help everyone get their foot out of the crappy shoes that are out there, support some of these brands that are out there trying to change the narrative, and help us just live a more functional foot approach.” (19:26 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

  • 125. Scalar Light - The Power of Positive Energy | Tom Paladino

    125. Scalar Light - The Power of Positive Energy | Tom Paladino
    Jun 18 2024
    “We’re in a sea of scalar light, scalar energy, we just don’t realize it,” says today’s guest Tom Paladino, describing the infinite, non-physical, intelligent energy created by the stars. Inspired by Nikola Tesla, Tom, a holistic medical expert, uses this energy for healing with an instrument based on the inventions of electrical engineer Dr. Thomas Hieronymus. Everything, including diseases and injuries, has an energetic signature. Tom uses this instrument to access a client's energy fields and aura, and upon detecting these signatures, he negates them. This method, which goes beyond Newtonian physics to work at the informational level, has significant implications for healing and healthcare. Light, Tom explains, is the fundamental concept that unites all mankind. Given that our thoughts are scalar energy, he and host Dr. Andrew Fix discuss the power of positive thinking. In this episode of The Code, Tom shares anecdotes of how he and his clients have been healed through this method. At the end of the episode, he also offers listeners details on how to access a free trial of his work. Quotes • “Scalar energy is intelligent. Scalar energy transcends time and space; it’s non-physical. It can perform a function. So what is thinking? Thinking is a scalar wave. Cognition is created by a scalar wave.” (5:50 | Tom Paladino) • “This is a new branch of physics, and eventually will be a new branch of healing, of what I would consider human health, once we accept the fact that we can access a person’s energy field separate from their biological being.” (11:31 | Tom Paladino) • “Now, you cannot explain that from a biological level. This is not Newtonian science, this is a new branch of physics in which a force field of a microbe can be matched up to a person’s force field and those two force fields can communicate and cancel one another out. To me, that’s quite profound. That is, if you will, the information system that we’re looking for.” (13:43 | Tom Paladino) • “I think it all goes back to this: this is the intelligence from the stars. You have to start with some type of instructions. What instructs molecules? The stars. Which stands to reason, if the stars are essentially infinite, there are billions of galaxies, and scalar energy floods the universe, then those instructions can instruct all of the molecules in the universe.”(40:31 | Tom Paladino) Links Connect with Tom Paladino: Website - https://www.scalarlight.com/ Free 15 Day Scalar Light Trial - https://www.scalarlight.com/free-trials YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/TomPaladinoScalar Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/experiencescalar/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scalarlight/ SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS Movemate:
