Inflammation and Testosterone’s Effects On Depression

April 11, 2011 by

The rate of depression is growing and the numbers are likely even higher than we think because many cases go unreported.

depression and inflammation

Can testosterone help with depression?

Common therapy for depression includes things like serotonin specific re-uptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors as well as other drug therapies.

But one link that has yet to be fully explored is that of inflammation and depression, and a therapy that is showing good results is simply low dose testosterone.

In today’s uncensored podcast we discuss the global prevalence of depressive disorders in both men and women and some of the potential causal links.

We’ll also delve into the research on inflammation and depression and the effectiveness of testosterone therapy for depression in both men and women.

Finally we’ll also discuss how bodyfat might be affecting depression and why getting in shape might be even more critical to your mental and emotional health than you ever thought.

Working Out vs Training: Interview With Wes Granger

February 21, 2011 by

Staying consistent and having support are the two biggest keys to making big time changes in weight loss and muscle building.

The consistency of your workout and your ability to stay injury free are the two biggest factors on the training side of the equation that will add up to long term success.

Consistency and social support on the diet side of the equation are the two biggest factors to dropping weight and getting lean.

You can find many online communities that seem to be on target with your goals, but as you get further into them the support you hoped for might not be there. Finding the right community (online or off) could be the difference between getting to your goals and falling off the wagon for good.

Sometimes it just takes a few words of encouragement and a friendly kick in the butt from a supportive group to keep you on track towards your goals.

In todays podcast we interview Wes Granger who has dropped a lot of weight, and got into great shape. Wes talks about how he finally got his body to change and how he did it.

Getting Into Contest Shape: Interview with Allen Elliot

January 10, 2011 by

The way your body looks changes from day to day, and even from hour to hour, and on a bigger scale from month to month and year to year. Today we’re going to focus on what it takes to get into condition for a winning look. And what better way to do this than with Allen Elliot…he know what it takes to ‘dial it in’ and he’ll be sharing some the techniques he used to get into the condition you see here.

Allen Elliot Adonis IndexAdonis Index Allen Elliot

There are many factors that go into the look of your body including:

Total bodyfat – Not much to explain here. If you’re carrying too much fat none of your muscle will show through

Body Water – From fully hydrated after a meal to bodybuilding contest dehydrated and fasted

Training History – Do you have years of well developed muscle mass, or are you still a novice with room to grow

Current Training State – Are you pumped up from a workout or just got out of bed

Adonis Index Podcast Transcript Allen Elliot

And finally are you ‘dialed in’ to win a contest, or are you maintaining within striking distance for the next contest, photoshoot, or simply just the next time you feel like you want to tighten things up and make an impression.

Crafting a winning look to your body is a lot like working on a sculpture…but in this case the clay is your body and your tools are your workout and your diet (I think Arnold says it in a very similar way in his movie “pumping iron”)

Finally, the way you pose and display your body is the icing on the cake and could very well determine if you win or lose a bodybuilding show or the upcoming Adonis Index “open” competition.

In todays interview we pick Allen Elliots brain on how he learned to dial in for his bodybuilding show and really display his hard work through proper posing and contest conditioning.

Listen up if you’re thinking of entering the open, because Allen has some good advice and insights to share, AND some of you will likely be competing against him!

Hey we’re all in this together and we all want to see each other succeed (even if you’re technically competing against each other) we are all really on the same team.

12 weeks and 60lbs later!

Richard took a unique (but simple) approach to fat loss over this time period and he’s got many insights to share.

He explains how the positive feedback he got from friends helped provide the momentum to keep progressing, and how he learned what is limits were socially when it came to ‘stimulus’ including food, alcohol and partying.

Richard also perfected a way to explain his dramatic method for weight loss without having everyone freak out on him (this is a great tool and some pretty slick talking he does…go figure, he is a salesman by trade!)

All in all Richard has a unique experience and insights that I found very intriguing and I think you will too…so listen up (or read up!)
