How do know what’s real and not in the health and fitness space. I like DrMikes content, I like Rogan and a lot of people he has on.. so the immediate argument of sugar being bad or not, or really any topic, there’s so much back n forth, every expert has an opposing expert, and then it boils to “what’s best for you” but I want to know really, REALLY, what the right answers are

[@Vectar84]

Dr.Mike I wanted to ask you about side effect of TRT and exogenous testosterone that everyone keep out of the sight of average Joe's that want to jump on it. And that side effect is infertility or inability to conceive a son. If you look up - almost every bodybuilder have only daughters, actors who jacked on gear is also mostly have only daughters. Do you have scientific explanation of mechanism behind that?

[@NvyB]

The FDA is a revolving door that is mostly from large food corporations which makes laws in favor of where they came from. Go to the root of the issue instead of "most research/scientist agree" and everyone else is crazy. I remember a time when ALL scientist agree and things were "safe and effective" because everyone else was silence and even the inverter of the thing they were fighting lol. Follow the money that the research is finding and you'll find the truth. People lie but money talks.

Maybe not the best for muscle growth but with proper form, it is an excellent exercise for core stability through a wide range of different body positions. Personally, I have found it really helpful to help prevent back injury as I lift heavier & climb harder routes.

[@august18016]

​@@AyoLeger It's completely established to be a lesser movement to things like cleans, deadlifts or barbell shoulder presses if you want upward pushing strenght. In theory is should work, but the problem lies in (what Mike explained) the fact that your shoulder gives out before your core or whatever else you wanted to strenghten. So you are effectively limiting your gains because the core doesn't get worked enough.

[@avancalledrupert5130]

Do it with a barbell then it's called a gardener lift. It's a great display of strength because 1st you have to master the one arm clean and jerk . Even just 50k is quite challenging. It's nor for body building its an exhibition lift . I.a.w.a sometimes throw it into competitions .

Yes, certain seed oils, particularly those high in omega-6 fatty acids, can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excess. The primary concern with seed oils is the imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the modern diet, which can promote inflammatory processes in the body. Here's a breakdown of why seed oils can be inflammatory and which oils are the most concerning: ### 1. **Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Inflammation** - **Omega-6 fatty acids** are essential fats that the body needs for normal function, but when consumed in large amounts without a balance of omega-3s, they can lead to an increase in inflammatory markers. - The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 intake is believed to be around **1:1 to 4:1**, but modern Western diets often have a much higher ratio, sometimes as high as **20:1** or more. This imbalance can promote inflammation and is linked to various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, arthritis, and metabolic disorders. ### 2. **Common Inflammatory Seed Oils** - Some of the most commonly used seed oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids include: - **Soybean oil** - **Corn oil** - **Cottonseed oil** - **Sunflower oil** - **Safflower oil** - **Grapeseed oil** - These oils are prevalent in processed and fried foods, as well as in many types of salad dressings, sauces, and snacks. ### 3. **Inflammation Mechanism** - Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly **linoleic acid**, are converted in the body into **arachidonic acid**, which is a precursor for the production of **pro-inflammatory compounds** called prostaglandins and leukotrienes. - While inflammation is a natural immune response, chronic inflammation driven by excessive omega-6 consumption is linked to conditions like **cardiovascular disease**, **type 2 diabetes**, and **obesity**. ### 4. **The Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio** - The imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids is a key factor in the potential inflammatory effects of seed oils. While omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for certain functions, they need to be balanced with **anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids**, found in foods like fatty fish (salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts. - **Omega-3 fatty acids** help counteract inflammation by promoting the production of anti-inflammatory compounds. ### 5. **Non-Inflammatory Oils** - Some oils are considered less inflammatory and may even have anti-inflammatory properties: - **Olive oil** (extra virgin): High in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, particularly **oleic acid** and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory effects. - **Avocado oil**: Similar to olive oil, avocado oil is high in monounsaturated fats and has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers. - **Coconut oil**: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits. However, it should be used in moderation due to its saturated fat content. - **Flaxseed oil**: High in omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), which have anti-inflammatory effects. ### 6. **Processing and Inflammation** - **Highly processed seed oils** (often used in fast food and processed snacks) can be more inflammatory due to the refining process. This process involves high heat and chemicals, which can create harmful compounds like **trans fats** and **oxidized fats** that increase inflammation. - Cold-pressed, minimally processed oils tend to retain more beneficial nutrients and are less likely to contribute to inflammation. ### Conclusion While seed oils are not inherently bad in small amounts, the overconsumption of certain **omega-6-rich seed oils** can contribute to chronic inflammation, particularly when they dominate the diet and are not balanced with omega-3 fatty acids. To reduce inflammation, it's beneficial to: - Limit the intake of processed seed oils. - Increase consumption of **omega-3 fatty acids**. - Use **anti-inflammatory oils** like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or flaxseed oil as healthier alternatives. Balancing omega-6 and omega-3 intake is crucial for maintaining a healthy inflammatory response in the body.

I'm glad Mike is addressing the "functional" strength stuff. People really like to shit on anything barebell or body building related despite those two things being really really good for size and strength.

[@realization8919]

"People" referring to Mario Rios & his fans amirite

[@ThompsonBriar]

I think most people's idea of functional strength is being able to move things from awkward angles or just different angles rather than traditional lifting with fixed exercises. So basically anything that has more of an emphasis on stabilizing muscles along with the main group being worked.

[@chumbucket6184]

​@@ThompsonBriartraditional strength training already covers this. Powerlifting, olympic lifting, strongman training will all make you stronger in those niche situations than just squatting on a bosu ball with a kettlebell in your mouth. Reason is because you can load astronomically more weight on those tiny muscles with a regular low bar backsquat than with some weird position you can't properly load to failure and use progressive overload on. The weight the more stable traditional backsquat allows you to move will simply outweight the fact that you can't quite get in that ultraspecific position with it. If anything you're better off training them separately. You train the big 4 as heavy as you can and then you can go and teach that strong muscle to neurologically learn whatever athletic movement pattern you want it to go through. Calisthenics guys do this a lot. They train with weights for raw strength and then they go and harness it on the monkeybars

[@AlicedeTerre]

@@chumbucket6184 Extremely niche training focus, but one of the contestants from Alone (solo nature survival show on History Channel) went into detail about her training that did involve lots of the funky movements and stabilizing work because moving trees and rocks across a forest requires lots of weird movements and unnecessary muscle mass is detrimental when you might go weeks without eating.

I tried kettle bells first for weight lifting because I heard about them on a Joe Rogan podcast, not only was I really winded from the motion and more concerned about making the motion than actually building strength, but I was noticing a lot of clicking and pain and found ranges of motion awkward, simply because I wasn't used to lifting or moving weight 15 pounds plus. So from experience, I can tell youm dumbells are wayyyy better for a beginner. You really have to think about posture, movement, you can feel where pain is, where weakness is. You build speed and confidence and reps slowly. Unlike with kettle bells, where they make your mind more focused on momentum. They are better for people who already change and want to change range of motion up. But a simple cheap dumbell from wall mart at home and a bench is literally all most woman need to get a real burn! And you can buy dumbells with exchangeable weights to save money! There are so many videos that help you with form too! Just more effective and safe!

This is SUCH a good episode. Exercise critique, TRT discussion and humour. This is why I keep coming back here.

[@stevencosta7248]

I think that kettlebells are mainly nice because the way they load weight for certain motions and exercises. Dumbbells are totally useable and great, but certain movements the kettlebells feels a little bit easier to manage and get through a proper range of motion. For example, the Turkish get up. I did some variation of this for my injured shoulder maybe it's called a windmill, I can't remember, but it was similar in concept. Stabilize shoulder. While it's a minor gripe, it was slightly better with a kettlebell vs a dumbbell on my wrist, allowed me to keep it straighter, which is a nice advantage when we're talking healing an injury, every little thing could be a game changer.

[@JasonJrake]

Since the weight hangs down from the bar, the bells have a lower center of gravity per pound over the dumbbell. This means less leverage, so less “balancing muscle” strength is required. Using a lighter weight with a barbell is identical. It’s like being “explosive” with a higher weight to feel stronger, rather than making slower movements with a lighter weight that actually challenged your muscles better. It’s a trick to make you feel stronger (or demonstrate strength to your friends/girl) rather than doing what actually makes you stronger. I was a certified strength training coach in the 2000s. The myths in weight lifting are there to make clients feel better. Showing them the truth is much harder if what you care about is money vs results. I quit because educating clients was almost impossible.

@@JasonJrake I totally understand what you're saying, and in my case specifically, it just felt better on my wrist. Perhaps I would have benefit from just a lighter weight as you said and going slower. What I did notice in my experience, was that I was in fact comfortably able to control more weight and get a better connection to the target muscle, just because of where the center of gravity landed and how it felt on my wrist. Perhaps you could argue I needed my wrist examined, but it wasn't chronically in pain, or anything like that

Sugar has the quality of giving you an injection of insulin, a short burst of energy, and then a crash. This crash signals the hunger parts of the brain. Additionally, the caloric availability of sugar is super high and foods containing a lot of sugar are calorie dense.

@@richardfierro2699 " That's the correlation. Nothing more, nothing less" I can tell you are not much involved in nutritional science. The oxidized Lionleic Acid Hypothesis is gaining more and more traction aswell. These are not correlations, and are verifiable via dozens of studies: "Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found in LDL and plasma of patients with atherosclerosis.14 Greater amounts of linoleic acid oxidation products are found within atherosclerotic plaques and the degree of oxidation determines the severity of atherosclerosis.22 A diet higher in oleic acid or lower in linoleic acid decreases LDL susceptibility to oxidation.14 Endothelial cells oxidise LDL forming linoleic acid hydroperoxides.14 Linoleic acid is the most abundant fatty acid in LDL and is extremely vulnerable to oxidation being one of the very first fatty acids to oxidise.14 A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in humans found that when saturated fat plus trans-fat is replaced with omega-6 fat (high in linoleic acid), there is an increase in all-cause mortality, ischaemic heart disease mortality and cardiovascular mortality.41 The oxidation of linoleic acid in LDL leads to conjugated dienes (malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal), which covalently bind to apoB altering its structure creating oxidised LDL. oxLDL is no longer recognised by the LDL receptors on the liver but by scavenger receptors on macrophages causing monocyte infiltration into the subendothelium, foam cell formation and eventual atherosclerosis.14 Oxidation products of linoleic acid (including 9-HODE and 13-HODE) are found in infarcted tissue.44 Ultrasound of the carotid arteries in healthy patients who have high 9-HODE in LDL have signs of atherosclerosis.14 The increase in 9-HODE begins between 40 and 50 years old prior to the clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis.14 9-HODE is a good indicator of oxLDL, especially if other causes of inflammation are excluded. An increased oxidised LDL, and hence levels of 9-HODE and 13-HODE in LDL, found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis may explain why they have an increased risk of heart disease.45 9-HODE and 13-HODE stimulate the release of interleukin 1B from macrophages.45 The linoleic acid metabolite 9-HODE is a strong promoter of inflammation45 and hence may be both a marker and inducer of atherosclerosis. Susceptibility of LDL to oxidation correlates independently with the extent of atherosclerosis.46 15) Linoleic acid free fatty acids and hydroxy acids (such as 13-HODE) can induce direct toxic effects to the endothelium causing an increase inflammation, reactive oxygen species and adhesion molecules.33 34 Exposure of the endothelium to linoleic acid has been found to increase LDL transfer across the endothelium, an essential step in the atherosclerosis process.35 Oxidised linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) are recognised by immune cells and can recruit monocytes/neutrophils to atherosclerotic lesions.47 OXLAMs are considered a danger signal activating innate immune cells, which are involved in atherosclerosis formation.48 49 Linoleic acid is the most abundant fat found in atherosclerotic plaques, and this has been known since at least the 1960s.50 Oxidised linoleic acid but not oxidised oleic acid is found in atherosclerotic plaques.51 Consuming more linoleic acid increases the amount of linoleic acid in complicated aortic plaques.52 Linoleic acid in adipose tissue and platelets positively associates with CAD, whereas EPA and DHA in platelets are inversely correlated with CAD.3 Linoleic acid serum concentrations (as opposed to per cent of fatty acids) are higher in patients with CAD.4 Using the fat-1 transgenic mouse model, which converts omega-6 to omega-3 creating an omega-6:omega-3 ratio of around 1:1 in tissues and organs, reduces atherosclerotic lesions by inhibiting systemic and vascular inflammation.53 Mice fed fish oil (high in omega-3) as compared with corn oil (high in omega-6) have a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation possibly due to an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity.54 There is more thin fibrous cap atheroma, less thick fibrous cap atheroma, less stable plaque and a greater percentage of plaque rupture in patients given sunflower oil (high in omega-6) versus control.55 An excess dietary intake of linoleic acid causes greater endothelial activation compared with an excess of saturated fat.56 Linoleic acid can activate vascular endothelial cells, a critical step for inducing atherosclerosis.57 58 Linoleic acid is inflammatory to the vascular endothelium.59 Linoleic acid metabolites promote cardiac arrhythmias, cell death, organ failure and cardiac arrest.60 Patients who have died from sudden cardiac death have more linoleic acid and less omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in their coronary arteries versus control patients who died mostly from traffic accidents.61 B ox 2 summarises the opposing views for (1) why linoleic acid may reduce CHD and (2) why linoleic acid may increase the risk of CHD."

At 45 (warning: overshare incoming...) I started having wood almost all night, while sleeping. Eventually, THAT was a bit of a problem, lol. (I did warn you. 😄)

Kettlebells plus body weight movements have been AMAZING! Helped me tremendously in boxing and BJJ. Maybe because swining kettlebel around gave me much better strength than dumbbels and barbell (Aside from lifting people up and slaming them in the ring, never my training partners of course)

On the TRT, Dr. Mike hit the lifestyle point so well. I had low Free T and doc said it was probably lifestyle. First, I tried TRT to great effect but then I started fixing diet (especially adding more protein), sleep, and stress. I then stopped TRT and kept making huge gains and my Free T stayed in the normal range. It turns out that endurance athletes (even non-competitive marathoners like me) can depress their free testosterone if they don't jack up protein consumption similar to what Dr. Mike advises for bodybuilding. Research shows this negative cycle is accentuated in men as they age if they do a lot of long distance running/swimming/biking. I haven't taken TRT since I learned all this. I'm still getting stronger and building muscle.

The other problem with TRT is they take the averages from ages 18-80! The averages should be in 10 year brackets (18-25, 25-35, 35-45 and so on). What I am saying is it's really easy to have "normal" testosterone levels using that scale. You might be below your normal, but that might be above average on the scale.

[@airindiana]

The crucial thing is do you have proper, not vague symptoms alongside your levels, not just what the levels are doing measured against a barometer . I had debilitating symptoms for years. My levels were inside normal but borderline low and occasionally under the the BSSM guidelines range. My estradiol was all over the show, I think that is responsible for a lot of symptoms. We ran bloods for a year to keep track prior to treatment to see what it was doing before I bit the bullet. I’d tried the lifestyle diet and exercise. Already was fit and active. There’s only so much you can do though, remove stress etc. my career naturally carried some stress, life itself is stressful and bar becoming a monk and hiding from the world it comes to the point where if you’ve got to put yourself in a secluded bubble to feel normal you probably aren’t like the rest of the world (who don’t have symptoms) and do need help. I think a lot of folk on the internet portray hormone related symptoms as being somehow wishy washy or vague, just mild irritations. I can say often times it’s very far from this, and utterly horrific. I wouldn’t wish how I felt on my worse enemy. I’d get derealisation, a spacey sensation where you feel like you’re a passenger in your own body where everything feels wave like (it’s common with hormone disregulation ). Your mood would crash to the floor to the point of despair, you’d struggle to hold a conversation sometimes or even get out of bed. It’s was horrendous. I can honestly say TRT turned my life round and made it a life worth living. It’s been 3 years now and I’ve seen some marked changes in my outlook.

Genuine question for Dr. Mike - what's the point of being any stronger than what you can actually grip, if you are training for function? Isn't your time better spent on strengthening your limiting factor (e.g grip/forearms), than getting your back even stronger through resorting to arm straps?

[@PepperDog76]

[@danbanfan9524]

I don’t understand his position on seed oils. He should know that seed oils have an imbalance of omega 6, most of us are getting enough omega 6 from standard American diet and can lead to all sorts of health issues including inflammation. Also cooking with seed oils are way more prone to oxidation (I’m not 100% sure that this means an Increase in trans fats) however in many cooking conditions can lead to free radicals and other nasty things that lead to cell damage and inflammation as well. The use of olive oils is clearly shown health benefits. I’m not sure what he is seeing in pub med but the counter to this argument is pretty well acknowledged. I’m sure you can find studies on pub med that would agree with my statements above. If anyone knows different or if I’m wrong please share. Thank you.

Industrial grain oils came about in the late 1800 and I think we are about 24X the consumption of Omega 6 than we were prior to this modern day diet. Sydney diet heart study and Framingham revisited showed a lot of issues with poly fats Saturated fat is a lot more stable and less prone to oxidation than poly. I’ll stick with butter and tallow. Humans lived in mega fauna for a long time. Some think the large brain was a result of fatty red meat consumption. And the modern diet shrinking Brian size. Crowding teeth from less developed jaws because of the invention of agriculture vs hunters and gatherers.

[@tfking10]

I think he's looking at seed oils in complete isolation and consuming "lower than moderate" amounts. In the context of how they are used in industrialised food production they are horrendous: ubiquitous to the point they actually define UPF and at high temperatures very problematic (forming aldehyedes).

High levels of deuterium is also a problem with seat oils. If there's anything you should get off your food list first it's seed oils.

It's nitpicking 'functional strength' purely to nitpick. The opposite would be exercises like isolated bicep curls, or seated leg extensions. How do those transfer over to anything you're ever going to do? "Oh shit, I need to pick up this heavy object... BUT, I can't use my legs, core, back or shoulders... thank god I spent all that time on isolated bicep curls!" There are many exercises that are primarily (or even purely) for aesthetic purposes, and really don't transfer over to real-world strength at all.

When I switched out seed oils for clarified butter when cooking my chronic heartburn and indigestion went away. It could be due to the higher smoke point of the clarified butter (it's chemically more stable at higher temperature) or it could be because butter doesn't encourage inflammation like seed oils do.

I used the low carb carnivore type diet for a few years while training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It worked well to keep keep my energy levels sustained through work and training. During competitions it was ok to maintain a decent energy level doing many matches throughout the day. Fortunately Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the go does not require as much explosive power as other sports, but I don't think my explosive power and intensity was as high as it could have been with more carbohydrates. Recently I have wanted to gain more muscle mass and started lifting so I have added more carbohydrates to my diet. In the long run I think it is more sustainable to eat a moderate amount of healthy carbohydrates to help the body rebuild.

[@wobblysauce]

For a match day can still add some Carbs to get more burst.

[@nuknukisdead]

Also, low carb diets put a strain on your liver since that's where most of the gluconeogenesis takes place. In the end, a balanced diet will always be the healthiest, but people can certainly do other diets as long as they do their due diligence so they know what they are getting into.

[@judochemistry]

I agree now but you got to be used to taking carbs and training throughout the day or else I would be worried about suddenly crashing after eating carbs during the competition day.

Back when my sister did High School Basketball she and her team used to eat peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches before practice, specifically for a combination of both some protein, and a lot of carbohydrates and sugars for spontaneous energy burst. I don't like grape jelly. So I took this idea and replaced it with a peanutbutter and raw honey sandwich before my workouts instead. Works wonders. ^.^

If I talked about functional strength training, I would say that it is movement that aids in the function of something. If you want to be good at a bike time trial, you would need, for instance, a special kind of core training to be able to hold onto that hunched over, crunched position, breathe in the meantime, while maintaining the best possible hip angle to still generate enough power. In the case of kettlebells, especially the powerful hip hinge that is emphasized with most movements like clean and jerk, snatch, swings, and high pulls, it adds power and speed to that particular movement complex. This translates to the initiation of a kick, a knee to the head/body, or even a forward knee jump. One-handed ballistic movements strengthen the upper body in a way that aids in protecting the spine/ribs when twisting. Also, keeping the shoulder in the socket strengthens the shoulder girdle, which is often a target in jiu-jitsu. Kettlebells are not everything, but they are a damn good utility tool. For martial arts, they are way more functional than barbells. Of course, KB + BB is even better. You totally overlooked get-ups. Turkish get-up. First of all, you need deep abdominal and spinal stabilizer muscle strength to get up from the ground. Already a Pilates sit-up or neck pull is a difficult exercise. Doing that with a weight over your head in one hand, and then doing it sideways, is complex. Then, when you sit up, you need to get into a high bridge while still being stable. Then, pulling that front leg under you into a deep lunge position, while your eyes remain on the kettlebell, requires loads of coordination and balance. The switching between concentric and isometric contractions is constant. Then, you have to stand up and reverse-engineer the whole process downward. So no, it is not a gimmick. Limiting it in theory to shoulder stability is 5%. Of course, neither kettlebells nor Turkish get-ups should be the only thing to rely on in terms of power, strength, stability, mobility, and so on. However, they are great tools, and for someone who has been doing push-ups, pull-ups, and planks, a kettlebell can open up a whole new world. I appreciate the video. Thanks and keep it up...

What highly processed means to do you and why do you think it must induce negative things to the food? Ever seen how cheese is made? Whey protein? Yet both are great for the body.
