Ashwagandha Dependency
Hello! Absolutely love your podcast. I listen all the time at work. So, I take ashwagandha root and have for a few months now. It really helps my anxiety and stress levels on a day to day basis. I don't want to stop taking it. But like everything we can take, I'm afraid of becoming dependent on it. Is it possible I could be? Also, do you guys have a recommendation for a 300mg dose that's third party tested? I can't seem to find one I trust. Thank you!
Umary- legit or full of sh!!!t?
Hey guys! First of all, found the pod a couple months ago, successfully binged all episodes and now that I’m caught up, I’m miserable lol. Anyway! I was recently introduced to “Umary”, which claims to be a dietary supplement that aids in joint pain, with its key ingredient being hyaluronic acid. It almost sounds like a magic little pill for freaking joint pain (and I do NOT have Megan knees). I understand the science behind hyaluronic acid and how this could work…but I don’t know what else is involved in this supplement. Any input on this “miracle drug”?
Stopping Intermittent Fasting
Any tips on stopping Intermittent fasting? I’ve done it for 18 months primarily 18:6 with some occasional 20:4 and 22:2 and lost 80lbs (changed my eating habits and upped protein significantly) but now I’m scared to stop in fear I start gaining but I’m also craving a normal food day!
So Sore!!!
Hey guys- i just finished week 2 of the full body program and I’m so sore today! I worked M/T, took a rest day W and then worked Th/F. Would it be better to take a rest day between all the days or just back down on the weights altogether? Or is this how it should be and just keep at it? I went up in weight from last week so am I just overdoing it? Following the RPE suggestions but first set RPE is always different than the last set. Also- I have a home gym with lots of weights but no machines so everything is being done with barbells or dumbbells (not sure if that makes a difference). I will also add that I’m in a calorie deficit for weight loss but hitting all my protein and fiber macros. Thanks for any/all insight!
