    My High Blood Pressure Experience; Plastics impact on Insulin Resistance.

    Hi, in this episode, I cover a bunch of topics from my experience at the doctor, my own hypocrisy, some things I learned from you, and finally - the main topic of discussion: Insulin resistance and how plastics (phthalates) affect it. Oh, and if you're on Spotify or YouTube, it's now a video podcast, as well!

    Issues with Nutrition Documentaries; Caffeine and Performance - They Don't Always Mix.

    Hi folks, in this episode I unintentionally discussed two topics. One, I planned on discussing, which was caffeine and it's performance effects in weight lifting and endurance. However, because I woke myself up to a nutrition documentary that I watched for 20 minutes or so before recording, I felt I had to get some things off my chest related to the second topic - nutrition documentaries. So, you have the distinct pleasure (or dismay) of listening to me ramble on both, but I hope that either way you learn something of use, especially related to caffeine.
