Summary

We channeled some SEXY WILDEBEEST vibes before talking about studies from rugby on how positive reinforcement before and after matches improves hormone levels and performance, a new review study on the perils of low-carbohydrate approaches to nutrition, opening up about our secrets, balancing positive mentorship and actionable feedback, bike racing, and a warm-up tip that leads to breakthroughs (in running or podcasts). Plus ALL OF THE SCIENCE that makes it one of our sexiest episodes ever! Thank you so much for being a part of this journey! WOOHOO!

0:00.0	Woohoo! Welcome to the summer call play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today.
0:04.2	Happy Tuesday! It's Tuesday!
0:06.0	Freakin' Tuesday.
0:07.0	But I gotta be honest, it wasn't personally happy for me until just recently, because
0:11.1	as we were warming up for the podcast, we like to warm up our vocal cords, talk about
0:14.7	some of the studies just on background that we're gonna get to. You are wearing a big
0:18.8	puffy coat, and I was really, really disappointed. This is our naked time together on Tuesday's
0:23.8	med in.
0:24.8	Not during warm up, though. I was very particular about warm up. It's almost like warming
0:27.9	up for me for a track workout, where I need to wear all the clothes. And then as we get

0:36.4	happen, just unleash it. And be ready for it. Go full, Nelly style, and unleash it all.
0:41.0	It's like strip poker, but for running really, really fast, that's a great lesson for

0:53.2	goes up 10 points, as I strip down to my teddy wife. It's incredible.
0:57.0	I feel like, for me, especially pants. If I wear pants over shorts, and I strip them
1:01.2	down, pre-rease, pre-work out, I'm like, it's go time. Something about that just fires
1:06.6	up the neurons in my brain, and it's like, Bing, Bing, Bing, send it to him.
1:10.4	That's what we need. We need a control study on pants versus no pants warm-ups. I think
1:15.3	that would be freaking game-changing. In fact, I used to do it with tights, and that's
1:19.4	a full other level of liberation. When you take off tights, everything needs to flow.
