Summary

What do ALL successful weight loss stories have in common?  What is a driving factor behind balancing your blood sugar?  The answer might be simpler than you think...

Today's guest, Dr. Ted Naiman, has spent almost 20 years as a primary care provider with a unique focus: diet and nutrition. Once a vegetarian who eventually transitioned to the Atkins diet, and later the paleo diet, Dr. Naiman is the founder of the P.E. (Protein : Energy) Diet.

Ben and Dr. Naiman dissect everything from keto weight loss stalling to the anabolic resistance that comes with age... PLUS the one commonality of every single diet designed for fat loss, metabolic health, and bodybuilding.

You'll learn:

  • The key to achieving your weight loss and/or performance goals.
  • The ONE factor that matters most in every diet.
  • The insulinogenic impact of protein.
  • Simple changes that can improve your health immediately.
  • Best practices for digesting and absorbing high-quality sources of protein.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn't for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it's not about MORE or what you do, it's about BETTER and how you do it...  Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.

I'm not in the business of convincing anyone.  I'm in the business of transformation.

The individuals who come to us are already high-performers.  They're committed. Ready.

Don't get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it's going to be too hard.

But here's the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.

I'm looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you're serious and you're committed, I'd love to see if you're a right fit for a program I'm starting in 2022.  Apply now at https://go.muscleintelligence.com/coaching-application/

Welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast. I am here with Ben Pocleski. We have an amazing show for you today. Dr. Ted Naman joins me to talk about protein and energy. Two of our favorite things. We all want to be energized, and Dr.

0:22.6

Naiman is going to tell you exactly why protein is the most important nutrient,

0:26.7

not only for muscle building, but also for body composition and maybe even longevity.

0:31.1

Dr.

0:31.5

Naiman is a board-certified family physician and the Department of Primary Care in Seattle, Washington, his personal

0:38.7

research and medical experience are focused on, ultimately the implementation of diet and exercise

0:43.8

for health optimization, which obviously is very counterculture to what you would normally

0:48.9

see in most current family physicians.

0:51.8

So that in and of itself is an absolute breath of fresh air to see a doctor

0:55.7

thinking outside of the box. So Dr. Neiman focuses on primarily great sources of protein,

1:03.0

increasing the amounts of protein. And he describes why maybe a low-carb diet may not be the

1:07.3

best idea. Maybe a low-fat diet may not be the best idea, but he'll give you his

1:11.6

suggestion on what the best diet is ultimately for sustainable fat loss and sustainable ways to

1:16.6

improve our body composition. You guys are going to love this conversation. Dr. Neiman is wonderful.

1:21.5

It's really, really simple concept with really, really vast implications. And it gives you all

1:25.9

the most recent research as to why this is something we should all consider following.

1:30.9

Also, if you're someone who aspires to be the best version of yourself, something I did for myself in 2020, the beginning of 2020, was I signed up for a coaching program.

1:42.6

It was a 10-month coaching program inspired by one of our guests, Brian Johnson.

1:46.9

If you guys remember Brian Johnson, Brian is the owner and creator of a company

1:51.4

previously called Philosopher's Notes.

1:54.3

If you've heard me talk about this before, if you've never checked it out on YouTube,

1:58.9

it was one of my greatest resources in my transformation from what we'll
