 First question is from Fenton Kerry. I have a lot of inflammation after working out Are there any supplements you recommend for recovery that will help reduce some of the inflammation? Okay, so first I'll answer the question directly, but then let's talk about the main root like most important ways You can reduce this or help ameliorate this problem. So, okay direct question Are there certain supplements that you can that you can take? Yeah Omega-3 fatty acids probably things with tumor X Might actually help Organify makes a product called move that I've actually noticed Makes a difference with stiffness and inflammation and the ingredients in it are legit obviously it's the company we work with so we really believe in them And I've had clients not clients. Excuse me listeners Tell me that they've used the move and after about two to four weeks of using it. They notice pretty significant improvements but let's talk more now about the root cause of Inflammation and why we need to deal with that first Supplements, you know, some supplements can help and especially the ones that like organifies move they help by giving you a more healthy Inflammatory process, but we got to look we got to go back a little deeper and look at why you may be feeling more inflammation And the first culprit would be that your workout is probably inappropriate for your body You're not moving well. You're not priming your body Properly you can if you do proper priming and you work out Appropriately you should not feel more inflamed right after your workout your joints should not hurt after your workout You should feel better than you did going into the workouts I also want to know, you know, the nutrition in the diet that you're bringing into these workouts and what that looks like on a consistent basis, but you know, there's also the point to that a Bit like how much of the inflammation is it because like some of it is necessary in order to Signal to the body that you need to adapt and change So we don't want to completely eliminate You know the inflammation after the workouts But if it's an excess and it feels like it, you know, it's really affecting your joints and stiffness Yes, that's a problem. We need to address that the other people to address too is your your advanced lifter Who's training intensely a lot the most inflammation that I ever battled even more so having a poor diet or whatever was When I was competing when I was competing I was always pushing the threshold I was always, you know, overreaching because I was trying to, you know, take my body the next level So I flirted with that, you know, too much intensity too much load, you know Not enough days off not enough mobility and the joints and inflammation were the worst at that period of time for me than ever So, you know, if you're also somebody who's a you know, maybe you diet well you eat really good and clean But you train really hard five seven days a week and you don't give your body adequate rest And you're not doing like mobility or you're constantly Hammering and you're not kind of phasing out of types of routines that can happen a lot too like I see this common with clients that Love to lift heavy. They love to train You know super super heavy weight and then they get just they're they're overstressing their joints They can cause an inflammation in the body. So things like that to watch out for not just diet, too Yeah, now I want to touch on what Justin was saying about, you know, trying to block inflammation all the time Not a good idea. So if we look at like a drugs over-the-counter drugs NSAIDs non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen Naproxen those do block Inflammation quite effectively now the problem with that is inflammation is also an important signal or in the body It tells the body to build it tells the body to repair And so we do have studies that show that it lowers the muscle building signal and over time people who have joint issues Who take these products every time they train? We actually start to see their joints get much worse over time because the inflammatory process Let's the body know we need to strengthen Rebuild and repair this area not to mention the signal that inflammation sends you which is hey Don't move this way. So if I got bad knees and I'm numbing myself with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories that will allow me to continue to move in the way that's causing inflammation That's gonna cause problems over time. So you should pay attention To these things now dietary speaking if you're fatty acid profile is off for some people that causes problems Meaning you have too many omega-6's not enough omega-3's in your diet a high sugar diet for some people in my experience can cause inflammation for me a diet that's very high in grains Over time can definitely cause inflammation. So when I bring that down and have more fruits vegetables and Fats and proteins I notice way less inflammation when I eat a ketogenic diet now I'm not saying ketogenic diet's the best for performance or muscle building I think it's not the best for those in fact I think it's one of the worst ones for that but in terms of inflammation one of the weird side effects of eating ketogenic is I just don't get sore. It's really strange in fact when I reintroduce carbohydrates I start to get more sore So if you're battling this really bad chronic inflammation and your diet's high in grains and carbohydrates You can even mess around and see how you feel on a healthy ketogenic type diet and see if that that solves that particular issue But for most people listening You're just not working out appropriately probably and you're probably not priming your body Properly that's usually the reasons why the average person is just too stiff or inflamed after a workout You
