New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– Morning Beverage To Make You Feel Superhuman

This is a handy morning brew I mix up when I travel for immunity and a potent dose of antioxidants. It's very simple but just takes a few key products. It includes the immune-boosting benefit of wild Mediterranean oil of oregano along with 80+ minerals from clean harvest algal blooms and the selective antioxidant activity of hydrogen-rich water. Here's the recipe:

To 16oz filtered water, add:

– 1 dropperful Kion Oregano Oil
– 1 packet Quinton Hypertonic Solution (search the site and use code GREENFIELD15 to save 15%)

– Best Book On Athletic Performance, Recovery & Mindset I've Read In Quite Some Time

Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports – this new book, by my fellow C-ISSN and CSCS Dr. Marc Bubbs – was one of my best reads of the year for all things sports science. A few of my big takeaways (and don't worry, I'll get him on the podcast too!) include:

– Endurance athletes seem to need more sleep than strength athletes, and both seriously suffer when sleep is anything less than 6 hours.

– A temperature change in your fingertips is likely the first circadian cue you get at the beginning of the day (I could totally see a potential jet lag device that warms the fingers – I'll take the royalty for that, please. ;) ).

– Aerobic training for strength athletes could assist with their immune system strength.

– Loading with probiotics for 2 weeks leading up to competition could give you an ergogenic edge.

– Elite athletes on a subpar diet show the same blood biomarkers as those with pre-diabetes and a fructosamine blood test can be one of the best ways to measure this.

– Top supplements proven to work in exercise science, with the strongest track history, are creatine, caffeine, nitrate precursors (e.g. beet), whey protein, beta-alanine, and sodium bicarbonate.

– Athletes with the CC genotype of the CYP1A2 gene are actually hampered in performance in response to caffeine intake.

– Eating carbs too far from a performance event (e.g. 60-75 minutes) results in hypoglycemia before the event vs. consuming them closer to the event (e.g. 20-45 minutes)

– Fish oil can stimulate muscle building by stimulating mTOR pathways. Vitamin D and creatine are also very good for recovery, not just performance. Creatine can even be helpful for TBI/concussions.

– High sugar intake is associated with lower heart rate variability (HRV).

– Cold water immersion (CWI) beats cryotherapy for recovery, hands down.

Anyways, there's plenty more! You can get this brand new book here.

Featured Product: Kion Clean Energy Bar

As a busy CEO, coach, professional athlete, international speaker, and top 100 podcast host—I needed a bar that would meet the intense demands of my lifestyle, while also satisfying my strict nutrition and purity requirements. I’m happy to say, THIS IS IT.

After years of habitually eating low-quality protein bars, I started having elevated blood sugar, gut rot, energy swings and toxins present in my blood tests. So I wanted to do something better. I wanted to learn how can a bar provide adequate amino acids for recovery without spiking insulin and glucose, or creating mTor and longevity issues from excess protein intake?

You're about to discover exactly how I did it. Meet the Kion Clean Energy Bar.
