Top Episodes Quotes
- “The only way you rewire your brain to make it a routine is by doing it the next day and the next day, and the next day. The reps add up, and next thing you know, you're on track again.“ by Arnold Schwarzenegger
- “Unlike so many studies, this revelation was an accidental finding. The researchers weren't actively trying to get the participants to eat less sugar. They examined people who slept less than 7 hours per night, gave them tips on how to improve sleep quality. Those included tips like sleeping in cooler room temperature, avoiding caffeine before bed, following the same schedule every night, limiting screen time, and other things like that. And then the researchers checked to see if sleep or behaviors changed. Tips helped people sleep 50 minutes to one and a half hours more, resulting in them eating nearly 200 fewer calories per day and about 10 grams less sugar.“ by Arnold Schwarzenegger
- “If you want to improve training performance, taking whey or plant based protein might be more helpful wheyo plant proteins are most cost effective, and they have been shown to improve training, recovery, muscle gain, and body composition.“ by Arnold Schwarzenegger
- “The scientists found that fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, fermented cottage cheese, kimchi, fermented vegetables, and kombucha improved microbial diversity, immune health, and lowered inflammation.“ by Arnold Schwarzenegger
