173: Ted Ryce: The Ultimate Diet For Building Muscle (And Improving Your Health)
Are you confused about exactly what to eat for optimal health AND physical performance? You're not alone. I've been studying nutrition in college and on my own for over 17 years…and I still get confused at times! It's no wonder. A search on Amazon for "diet books" yields over 200,00 results! There's so much conflicting information… "Eggs are good for you." Vs. "Eggs raise your cholesterol and will clog your arteries." "Carbs are evil." Vs. "You need carbs to train hard and build muscle." "Protein is essential for building muscle." Vs. "Eating meat will give you cancer and ruins the environment." It's leaves you frustrated, confused and feeling like, "Screw this nutrition thing, it's too complicated!" It doesn't have to be this way. And you don't have to be a "diet zealot" who practices an almost religious adherence to a particular nutrition philosophy. And there's no need for you to beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the perfect nutrition plan that makes you look AND feel great! I get results for my clients and myself by following what I call "Nutrition Basics." And we don't eat boiled chicken breast and steamed broccoli out of Tupperware six times a day either. In fact, I'm telling you that you can look and feel great AND eat delicious meals…and a desert every once and a while. (Yes, for real.) Below you will find my 8 basic principles of nutrition that will give you everything you need to lose fat, build muscle, improve your health, boost your energy and ultimately look and feel great. This list is the result of nearly 30 years of formal study, self-study, experimentation and working with hundreds of clients. It also includes essential lessons I've learned from countless conversations with nutrition experts, performance coaches, behavior change experts, strength coaches, as well as medical doctors who specialize in health, anti-aging and longevity. By following these principles, you can expect to achieve… Faster fat loss ● Faster muscle gains (without added fat) ● Less mood or energy highs and lows ● More focus and concentration ● Better digestion ● Better immune system (i.e. less colds and sick days) ● Increased libido ● Less aches and injuries Enough talk…listen to the episode to get the whole story!

Supplement Review: Magnesium For Stress Relief
Magnesium is one of the most important essential nutrients for maintaining optimal health and performance. Also, magnesium helps decrease anxiety and improves sleep quality. This is simply the best oral magnesium supplement I've used. As you probably know, I'm a big fan of topical magnesium because of the gastrointestinal upset that oral magnesium gives me. But I didn't have that issue with Magtech at all. No digestive issues and I FELT a difference taking it. I highly recommend this as your go-to oral magnesium supplement. Get 30% OFF now. Hurry up, only 48 hours.

169: 6 Best Supplements For Building Muscle, Sleep, Stress And Better Health
Overwhelmed by the vitamin aisle? Are you confused about which supplements are worth your money and which ones are not? Here's what your body needs—and can really help you upgrade your health and improve your life. Have you ever stepped into the supplement aisle of any pharmacy -- or, worse yet, health-food store -- and got confused if so many health claims. In this best supplements series, I'll answer all your questions and go into supplements that I've personally tried and have scientific evidence to support their effects. I've been using supplements for over 20 years, and I love experimenting with them. I've built more muscle, recovered faster, reduced my stress, improved my sleep, and more from using supplements. But one of the key lessons I've learned for all these self-experiments is that no supplement can make up for a bad workout program, improper recovery, a crappy diet and lack of sleep. So if you don't have the basics dialed in, then that's where you should start. But if you'd like to know which supplements I recommend and take personally (because of exhaustive research and years of experience), then read on to learn how these six supplements can take your health and performance to the next level! I want you to know that Natural Stacks (and all the other companies I recommend) are the real deal. They're pushing for open source supplements so consumers will be able to trust what they're paying for is actually what they're getting. I want you to know that I personally vouch for them after trying several of their products. They are such a cool company they are offering for the fans of Legendary Life a Special 30% off for only 48 hours. Hurry up. Use the Promocode: TEDRYCE Website link: https://www.naturalstacks.com
