Description

Welcome to the second episode of Season 6.

In this episode we take a deeper look into digestion and why it is so important.

We look at the complex biopsychosocial factors that affect digestion from genetics, to hormones, to our environment (both social & physical) to cultural.

Our body works as an intricate and holistic system in which digestion is key- there is a reason our GI tract is called our second brain.
From here we get into energy balance, what it is and what affects it (digestion is key here).

We go through the fundamentals of CICO (calories in vs calories out) and why, though seemingly simple it is actually complicated.

We finish up with the dangers of taking Diuretics and how this is a growing problem in the bodybuilding world.

As always, we hope you enjoy and find this useful.
