Summary

Fitness myths abound, but few are as persistent as the idea of "starvation mode." In this Fitness Friday episode, I get into the truth of this myth with Jordan Syatt, a 5x world record powerlifter.  We discuss the science behind metabolic adaptation, why meal frequency doesn't matter for fat loss (if calories are in check), and the potential risks of intermittent fasting. We also share the top two essential supplements for overall health.  Jordan Syatt is a 5x World Record Powerlifter, Founder of Syatt Fitness, and Gary Vaynerchuk’s Personal Trainer. He’s charismatic, undeniably knowledgeable, and insightful in ways you might not expect.  What we discuss:  The myth of "starvation mode"  Metabolic adaptation  The ineffectiveness of short-term fasting Importance of calorie control for fat loss, regardless of meal frequency The recycling of diet trends in the fitness industry (e.g., keto, Atkins, paleo) Discussion on animal protein vs. plant-based diets Essential supplements Myths about creatine supplementation, especially for women Different types of creatine (monohydrate vs. micronized) Find the full episode here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-167-jordan-syatt-5x-world-record-powerlifter/id1451897026?i=1000561980894  Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off To learn more about Jordan Syatt: Website: https://www.syattfitness.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syattfitness/  Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagements Learn more about your ad choices.
