High-Impact Training and The Game Changers Debate on JRE

Hey monkiis,

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and staying Wild. This podcast was inspired by the cover of a magazine I saw on my living room floor. I was taken aback when I saw the headline touting "low impact" exercise. I find it concerning that low impact training is perceived as being "better" for you than other modes of training that are more high-impact. Basically, training should be as high-impact as you can recover from and should absolutely be varied in intensity. You also need to allow for proper rest as well as include de-load training blocks. I also wanted to comment on the recent debate I heard on Joe Rogan's podcast which featured James Wilks (one of the producers of The Game Changers documentary) and Chris Kresser (Functional Medicine expert). Nutrition (in my opinion) is not so scientific and it is extremely challenging to make universal recommendations. There are certainly ways of eating that for sure are better for most people (i.e. removing processed foods) and just this step alone would provide a HUGE benefit for the vast majority of the population. After that, it's a personal experiment that you must take on for yourself. It's worth a listen if you can get past the arguing.

Thank you for tuning in and please leave a 5-start review wherever you enjoy your podcasts. Let's keep spreading the good word of the wild.
