10:53 Stan got his pro card in body building in his 40s.
15:25 Stan doesn’t manipulate shape through water and salt.
16:17 For women, being a very light weight does not translate into placing in body building competition.
17:52 There is a reduction in resting metabolic rate from long term caloric restriction. Salt, fructose, and iodine improve metabolism.
19:01 Stan has his clients eat lean red meat for their protein source.
20:59 The common diet focus is on macros, not micros, but micronutrients are in great abundance and have complicated beneficial interactions.
21:39 Stan uses sleep, food and training to manipulate body composition and strength.
23:44 When you do chronic cardio, your body will rid itself of muscle not used for the task as a way of being efficient.
26:06 If you are lifting at 80% of your capacity, your body does not have sufficient stimulus for adaptation.
27:00 Optimal hypertrophy training for body builders is twice a day, 40 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. This provides stimulus and avoids over fatigue.
29:54 Stan’s athletes do not use caffeine.
31:19 Sleep hygiene is one of the most important things that Stan addresses.
33:50 Change requires consistency.
40:24 Long term, does your weight loss cause deficiencies, loss of strength or health?
41:13 Keep foods containing calcium and magnesium in the diet.
42:29 Fat adaptation works well for endurance athletes. Glycogen is needed for strength.
42:51 It is more efficient to have glycogen in the muscles when you are in training.
43:27 Fruit raises metabolism, energy levels and body temperature, but does not spike insulin.
45:16 About half of hard training athletes are iodine deficient.
47:58 Fruit at almost any level of intake is protective of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality.
53:42 As the top of the food chain, you are impacted by everything the animals below you ate.
55:55 Your recovery takes a lot of sleep, a lot of food and proper hydration.
58:12 You need to salt your food. You cannot get enough salt out of a drink.
01:04:55 Strength is a barometer of health.
01:09:02 Three post-meal vigorous 10 minute walks each day are recommended.
01:27:23 To make your body regenerative, you need to create a stimulus with appropriate recovery.
01:31:21 Stan’s elevator pitch: There should be more health education and illness prevention.

Only once or twice, in a lifetime of fitness, have I heard someone talk as intelligently for a prolonged a period, as Stan does in this interview. Amazing. Loved every minute, tried to soak up every drop of knowledge he was dropping.

[@thefisherking78]

Those little 10-minute walks are highly underrated. Ever since I got my first dog, 15 years ago now, I've been doing it twice a day. I'm so glad someone convinced me it was important for the dog, because it's made a huge difference for me too. I do a lot of other things too, at least some of the time, but there is tremendous value in setting that minimum baseline for activity. Really helps me to maintain the mindset of being active and of using activity to maintain overall wellness both physically and mentally.

My Dad worked for Weider Nutrition back in the golden days. He's been preaching so many of these points and diet principles to me for years. I always thought he was talking some old school diet principles but man, I guess he's been right all along on salt, red meat, cholesterol etc. My head aches have always disappeared within minutes of taking a palm full of salt!

[@cwoza5]

Same here. My energy levels have skyrocketed since adding salt to my water/pre workout. I'm still a big fan of caffeine though...🤫

[@mtnbikehead]

I watched this months ago, and it just appeared again in my suggested vids tonight. This vid honestly helped my weight loss and health transformation. Dropped from 223.5 to 160Lbs in 5 months and having great gym and great blood lab work results. When Stan mentioned iodine deficiency slowing peoples metabolism and adding cranberry juice to help fix the deficiency. I tried it immediately and it immediately helped, then later instead of juice, I would throw a few cranberries into my oatmeal. The sensation in the throat went away, and my weight loss plateau was broke. I am 53 and have been on thyroid meds for 40 years, I wish I knew sooner about iodine deficiency. My thyroid meds have been cut down to half, and I think they will be cut again. This is a great channel. Thank You Mike and Stan.

Women need to listen to this. The ones who only do cardio and the ones who are “afaraid” to build muscles. Working in the corporate fitness industry for gyms like NYSC, Equinox, LA Fitness, Crunch. It’s AMAZING the mindset women STILL have in the gym. Eat almost nothing, train 2hrs. It’s so frustrating and sad.

[@Highintensityhealth]

Agree 100%! Thankfully half of our subscriber base is female. Cheers, Mike

[@martinluther4726]

VinnyLogz lol. That's hilarious. Women do not train for 2 hours and eat nothing. I've never seen a woman workout very hard, let alone for 2 hours. They also have terrible discipline. They eat shit diets.

[@VinnyLogz]

Martin Luther lol, I’ve worked at every gym you can name in ny over the last 10yrs, I see plenty of women train long ridiculous hours but never ever have a change in body composition

[@martinluther4726]

VinnyLogz I've been training for 21 years and have been to dozens of gyms myself. I've never seen many women work hard. I'm going off the rule, not the exception. They maybe there doing a workout but they don't push themselves. If they aren't changing then they aren't working out hard or long. Their diets must suck also. If you lower calories and workout for hours you will change. That's reality.

43:37 “ I haven’t seen anyone eating too much fruit” that sounded so fun to me heheh! I used to be a vegan! And there was a thing for me as too much fruit. My body would reject it. Also fruitarians O_O! He should check them. But a little bit of fruit, next to eating an animal based diet, feels great!!!!:)

[@blammela]

Bahahaha. Yeah. He needs a Freelee vid and then decide if there is too much fruit lol

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

Stan knows his shit hands down. He's helped many top athletes from strongman do to bodybuilders

[@budbrothersyt8509]

So, so glad I watched this. Thanks to you both so much! Couldnt take my eyes off the whole clip was spoken and accepted so beautifully

[@zealotbr]

28:15 "Its the same thing I do when i'm teaching somebody how to squat. I want to make it feel good first."

[@eduardsfirers459]

Just by listening to the clap his hands make at 21:30 you know he is massive

[@WilliamRNicholsonLST-1195]

This is one heck of an impressive video & Stan just blew me outta the water with a download of information that was incredible ! I have been reviewing many videos about health , diet & latest health research into what works & Stan Basically condensed about 3 or 4 days of watching specialist talks into a video here that has all of it ! Those days were not wasted but watching Stan this time covered entire spectrum ! Thx Stan !

[@claudiawang1992]

As a recently new certified personal trainer I value this video and your channel to learn golden nuggets I can administer in my own career thank you

[@SmoKey197]

Most of Stan's diet advice is in line with Ray Peat. Look him up if you want to dig into the science behind it all.

[@jlushefski]

Ray Peat is a proponent of coffee though. Overall he has some mainstream controversial ideas like being pro sugar, anti fish oil, pro saturated fat. It's important to understand Peat's ideas in a larger context and not get obsessed with one sentence or opinion, which most people do. Ray is absolutely one of the best resources on nutrition and health, and you're going to get 100x as much information/scientific depth as you would from a "nutritionist," coach, MD author, etc.

[@TF-uo5cg]

Stans knowledge is second to none.

[@drvenhrd46]

Stan is a well spoken dude! Dude can actually be a good narrator

[@dlvox7415]

It depends on your physique goals. I have had amazing success with 40 min of fasted cardio 6x per week followed by 40 min of “heavy” 4-6 rep super set lifting 6x per week. 1 meal per day. (Chicken thighs and barley 5x per week; 1 “cheat meal”). Test 200mg per week, 50ius of HCG 2x per week, B12 injections every 3.5 days. 52 years old. Went from 198 to 185 since October. Lean. Not ripped yet but getting there.

[@billybats36]

Trenbologna sandwiches is the key lol

[@Highintensityhealth]

Bahaha

[@davebelisle1653]

There’s always that one guy in the comment section

[@davebelisle1653]

Throngdorr Mighty my point is, here you have an extremely intelligent, seasoned and experienced athlete dropping a plethora of incredibly useful information (for free) and some douchebag has to drop an ignorant steroid comment. That’s my point.

[@davebelisle1653]

Throngdorr Mighty that’s nonsense. I’m a registered dietitian that has power lifted and body builder for 2 decades, naturally, and the information he is giving is more relevant to natural athletes than it is for those using ped’s

[@davebelisle1653]

Throngdorr Mighty the advice he is giving here is predominantly for natural athletes anyways, if it were for enhanced athletes it would be much different. Saying it is useless or less applicable because he uses ped’s is ignorant and discounts the hard work he has done and has communicated in this great informational video

[@TheJoshuaborden]

Always a great listen when Stan is spreading his knowledge and experiences.

[@Highintensityhealth]

Agree! Mike

[@mikepaulus4766]

I had gerd in August. I'm not an athlete, I'm a truck driver. I went keto in mid September, and shifted to carnivore in October. The gerd was gone in days. Now I'm leaning out.

[@gregbrown9765]

Ive heard him say most of this stuff in rants or other seminars but I still sat here and watched the entire video. There is something about how detailed Stan is when he speaks that keeps me interested. I would love for Stan to sit down with Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro and talk politics and current events.

[@averagejoefitness8488]

Thank God for Top Sirloin .

[@aussiecath]

Run with it and you can get good results natty. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4esnmuvfsxlgLc

[@anthonypreketes8834]

just went to the shops got the big steak and salt and enjoyed every bit of it lol

[@OfficialEricElemen]

Love how you put time markers for us to check out topics most interesting to us. Thanks!

[@AlexWayneJr]

Great interview from both sides, your ability to make your interviewee feel comfortable and completely open to discuss their knowledge is great.

[@traingear9578]

Stan is absolutely right about hormones being key and if that something is off you won't get results.. I worked out for years and years at 145 pounds, found out I had super low test levels, got on TRT and now I'm 200 pounds and leaner. put on 50 pounds of muscle just by correcting my hormone issues

[@spodergibbs5088]

How did you get the TRT

[@bryanscruggs7566]

A doctor.

[@traingear9578]

Spoder, I originally went to a mens health/hormone replacement clinic. got blood work and got prescribed TRT and was given shots in the clinic until they showed me how to self inject and set me up for that. I've since moved on to self medication and monitor my own TRT without a doc and run other AAS as well

[@leroymagagenova5903]

train gear I feel bad for u 👎👎👎

[@traingear9578]

anabolic ass, you should feel bad for the 'Natty's' that don't have a strong enough mind set or the balls to run gear and do what it takes to be a real winner... a natty never has and never will win at the top level of anything, they are satisfied being losers cause they can't do what it takes to win. They are weak minded and weak in body. you will never see them hoist a mr Olympia title, a power lifting world record, heck not even a mens physique title in the NPC.

[@chippatton9614]

Wow Stan is a wealth of knowledge great video!

[@hanknelson3231]

Amazing , good stuff. I been salt phobic for 35 years, even though I knew that I needed it for my leg workouts. The iodine from the salt relieved my thyroid neck pain almost instantly. Where the hell did you learn this stuff, nobody advocate it, and it is so right on?

[@tomhines3404]

Added 10,000 units of vitamin D a year ago. Stopped restricting salt about 9 months ago and went full bote on the vertical diet about 3 months ago. Been feeling awesome, still getting stronger and improving body composition. Stan seems to know what he's talking about.

[@gbjr5732]

It's interesting for sure. I'd like to purchase the vert diet but it's hard to jump onboard with a drug free approach and expect the same results. Seems to disqualify some of the advice

[@Mr.Buckets69]

I could listen to Stan all day....but you will never take my coffee from me

[@The-Homecook-0000]

Ya I'm not giving up coffe..

[@sarahmh3971]

Praise God! Someone who finally advocates fruit! I am 80%raw and my morning after fasting I eat fruit and never feel guilty about it. The water and enzymes in fruit help settle my gut. Why deny yourself something so whole and natural?? I am psyched!

[@Highintensityhealth]

Agree 100%! Thanks for that, Mike

[@VaughnMalecki]

Many do because it's seasonal.

[@poachedwomb8009]

someone who advocates fruit? the entire medical and nutrition community advocates fruit. where have you been for the past 389074305874398579457 years?

[@attakullakullaoukonunaka4091]

The Foxt Appeal to nature fallacy. Most of what you eat has been bred outside of nature -- not just fruit. We selectively bred them for a reason. Just know your limits.

[@cwstars]

Fruit sucks

[@walidabdo7241]

I love how vast Stan Efferding's knowledge is. He's Poliquin certified yet isn't a clone of Charles or any other professional for that matter, making his advice totally unbiased and unrestricted to a specific protocol. Rather he's furthered his knowledge using a ton of accredited professionals and consolidated all of their methods resulting in his very own unique, flexible and sustainable approach to optimal nutrition. Reason why he is one of my all time favourite educators and athletes. I've been following him since i was a kid and before it was cool ;p

[@phantumgrey]

I can comment on the gastritis thing too. I deal with it. The food more or less ferments due to low acid. When I eat low gas foods like chicken rice and steak I'm good! Stan is right.

[@davebelisle1653]

NUTRITION. IS. EVERYTHING.

[@elvay6847]

Pretty kickass talk

[@Highintensityhealth]

Thought so, too! Thank you, Mike

[@Tom-wk6pv]

never seen this channel before but i love your interview stye. One of the best (out of thousands) of interviews with Stan. Great work bud

[@Highintensityhealth]

Appreciate that, Thomas! I didn't say much in this as Stan was on a roll, but we have tons of other videos that you may enjoy, Mike

[@AdolfSchicklegruber]

Stan is great. However, his vertical diet didn’t work for Brian Shaw. I’m curious if Stan addresses this anywhere. Vertical isn’t for everyone

[@nicholasbusetti7882]

I have listened to a lot of Stan's interviews with Mark Bell and enjoy how he approaches health. This interview was really good covering some different topics which I found quite interesting. Nice to see a bodybuilder on your show Mike.

[@Highintensityhealth]

Nicholas Busetti Thanks good man! Appreciate the insights and feedback. Mike

[@musclehustle4566]

Stan is really awesome, very straight up guy!

[@Highintensityhealth]

Agree, so humble and giving. Thanks for tuning in, Mike

[@musclehustle4566]

Thank you! Great channel!!

[@thevikingbeard89]

I'm working as a butcher apprentice... top sirloin is good but go for the ribeye is what I've learned. Also, seriously buy local and talk to your local butcher how they cut up the meat. There is a whole art behind it!

[@FINDINGFITNESS101]

@11:55 Where he recommends a decent amount of fructose. TBh, there's a lot of information on why you don't want a lot of fructose. Look at low carb downunder or Jason Fung for example.

[@baconblaster6422]

Lol

[@ib1ray]

And Shawn Baker has a lot of good information about carnivore

[@NicholasOdinson]

Been waiting for this ever since I saw your Facebook post. Thank you for the content Mike!

[@Highintensityhealth]

Nicholas Odinson Yeah buddy! See ya @ the gym tomorrow??

[@NicholasOdinson]

High Intensity Health I'll be there 💪 clients 8-12p and I'll be training afterwards.

[@knightman_cometh]

Mike just did arm day before interviewing Stan 🤣🤣🤣

[@nomadbound9610]

omg I been having weird neck pain and headaches with no sickness until I added fruit and salt to my nutrition. I was eating NO FRUIT AND MINIMAL SALT. Also something I have done is going to bed earlier and not having a morning alarm and im jumping out of bed @ 0600 every day feeling Epic.

[@gavincoyleheathfitness661]

Any certain fruits?

[@owenwu9600]

He’s so soft spoken for being the strongest ifbb pro

[@micaharris6635]

Stan is a class act

[@finalstartfitness4473]

I'm so glad you had him on this show Mike!! Love this!!

[@Highintensityhealth]

Thanks for tuning in! Hope you enjoy. iTunes is coming soon :-) Mike

[@finalstartfitness4473]

High Intensity Health I really enjoyed this one man!! Thank you so much man!!

[@bonglokta]

One of the better interviews featuring Stan and The Vertical Diet.

[@overcomer4226]

Probably your best guest yet. Love ben Bickman but this man's info is PRACTICAL AND APPLICABLE right now. I will take notes next listen and then APPLY!!!!!

[@Rockybodybuilding]

Great interview

[@Highintensityhealth]

Thank for tuning in! Mike

[@michalchik]

I wish you'd explain more about why he's recommending fruit. I'm not against it but I'd like to know his rationale

[@fitchef40]

Depleted glycogen is the reason. If your training hard a piece of fruit right before or right after will help replace the glycogen you use up during exercise. It will also reduce your food cravings later in the day.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

Franco Easterling the body can make its own glycogen...

[@goatinnabox5776]

Because fruit is good

[@bluewaters3100]

Medical doctors in the U.S. are so nutritionally uneducated. I saw my doctor after doing a short fast. I did not realize it at the time, but I had lost too much potassium and sodium. My blood pressure was up. Without asking me any questions she started to write me a script for blood pressure meds. I told her I preferred to do some investigating on my own and would see if I needed to add some nutrients to my diet. She started arguing about the importance of keeping your blood pressure low. She insisted I take the script. Of course I did not take it. Instead I started taking extra potassium. mag., and added 1/4 tsp. of iodized salt. I felt better immediately and my next blood pressure reading was the lowest ever. I am a 68 year old woman on IF and keto. For me this eating plan works. I do want to loose 20 lbs and this is the easiest way along with walking and weights.

[@befree9579]

keto isn't that good tbh. i would add orange juice to ur diet. your brain, liver runs out carbs. its stressfull avoiding carbs everyday.

[@tinafisher]

gosh i love this guy, he's so honest.
