Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio.

I am your host as always, Danny Lennonon and this is episode 156 of the podcast and this is our

very last episode of 2016 and as a way to end the year with some review of sorts I wanted to put

together a couple of some of my favorite philosophical lessons

that I've taken from a number of podcast guests this year. These are key ideas or lessons

that I think can be powerful to bear in mind. They're not necessarily getting into the needy-gritty of nutrition or very

kind of nutrition-oriented aspects. So, for example, I'm not going into our discussions

of say, protein intake and distribution or the gut microbiome or carbohydrate periodization

for athletes. Any of those kind of interesting concepts we look at week in, week out.

Rather, I wanted to take a kind of broader overview of kind of the philosophy behind health

and performance and really just for maybe life in general,

just some kind of ideas that I think just sprang out to me as kind of a good way or a good

philosophy for us to act as evidence-based practitioners or people who are just trying to improve

our knowledge of health and performance. And so what I did was just take a couple of my my favorite episodes and really

think about were there any messages that resonate me along these lines that probably helped

change how I view a lot of things just in life in general and so I've ended up picking out seven

of these different philosophical lessons, if you will.

And I just wanted to maybe play a few clips from those episodes, show you where I picked out

those lessons, and hopefully a few of them are something that you will find useful and maybe

that you maybe didn't catch even the first time around during

those episodes if you have listened to them or if you missed some of these episodes at least

it will be maybe an impetus for if there's one thing that really stands out to you to
