Listener Q&A (Breather Episode with Brad)

The B.rad Podcast

Listener questions hitting hard from around the world, including the UK, the Dolomites in Italy, Australia and USA.

In this show we’ll discuss a variety of topics, including: concerns that fasting can slow down metabolism at the age of 64; a 45-year-old dad of a youngster in the UK is getting all dialed in on exercise, diet , micro workouts, cold exposure, nature exercise, and improving eyesight naturally—all thanks to lots of podcast consumption—so inspiring!

A listener also asks if your MAF heart rate is burning fat, isn’t everyone “fat adapted”?, a question that sparks a discussion around the idea of fasting with butter to minimize stress and guard against potential gluconeogenesis (recalling former podcast guest Dr. Michael Platt, author of Adrenalin Dominance, suggesting to take a spoonful of MCT oil in the morning to prevent excess cortisol (something that can happen from fasting in those who are vulnerable). We then talk about exactly what kind of rest to take between all-out sprints and discuss the important caution of warming up a bit before doing a micro workout (something I haven’t sufficiently emphasized when talking about hauling off a set of pull-ups or deadlift!). Good times, good information, join the fun and be sure to email any questions you want answered to [e-mail]!
