Salt, fructose, and iodine improve metabolism. 19:01 Stan has his clients eat lean red meat for their protein source. 20:59 The common diet focus is on macros, not micros, but micronutrients are in great abundance and have complicated beneficial interactions. 21:39 Stan uses sleep, food and training to manipulate body composition and strength. 23:44 When you do chronic cardio, your body will rid itself of muscle not used for the task as a way of being efficient. 26:06 If you are lifting at 80% of your capacity, your body does not have sufficient stimulus for adaptation. 27:00 Optimal hypertrophy training for body builders is twice a day, 40 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. This provides stimulus and avoids over fatigue. 29:54 Stan’s athletes do not use caffeine. 31:19 Sleep hygiene is one of the most important things that Stan addresses. 33:50 Change requires consistency. 40:24 Long term, does your weight loss cause deficiencies, loss of strength or health? 41:13 Keep foods containing calcium and magnesium in the diet. 42:29 Fat adaptation works well for endurance athletes. Glycogen is needed for strength. 42:51 It is more efficient to have glycogen in the muscles when you are in training. 43:27 Fruit raises metabolism, energy levels and body temperature, but does not spike insulin. 45:16 About half of hard training athletes are iodine deficient. 47:58 Fruit at almost any level of intake is protective of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. 53:42 As the top of the food chain, you are impacted by everything the animals below you ate. 55:55 Your recovery takes a lot of sleep, a lot of food and proper hydration. 58:12 You need to salt your food. You cannot get enough salt out of a drink. 01:04:55 Strength is a barometer of health. 01:09:02 Three post-meal vigorous 10 minute walks each day are recommended. 01:27:23 To make your body regenerative, you need to create a stimulus with appropriate recovery. 01:31:21 Stan’s elevator pitch: There should be more health education and illness prevention.
