• Renee is a Longevity Dietitian (she holds a masters degree in longevity nutrition earned with Dr Longo at UCLA) and she is the Director of Education at L-Nutra, the ProLon FMD company

• I’m not alone in my struggle to build muscle while reducing body fat. I recently completed an 18 month effort to do just that starting and ending with a Dexa scan to avoid any self deception. The results were not bad (16 —> 15% body) but I did not achieve my goal (I had essentially zero muscle growth and lost no visceral fat). I have always struggled with balancing calorie surplus (for recovery and adaption to exercise), with calorie deficit for body composition and achieving my goal of zero visceral fat. I guess I need more help, eh?
• In my talk with Renee we explore the topic of finding the minimum calorie and protein consumption (over time; not everyday) needed for the life I, you, anyone may want,
• And the use of cycles of growth (calorie surplus, high protein, hard exercise overload) and then rejuvenation (calorie deficit, low protein, fat loss, autophagy, mitophagy) to find the path that preserves vitality and health and builds a platform for a good life.
• The devil is in the details but in my mind the key is avoiding becoming addicted to the parts that makes us feel good about ourselves: the group we belong to, the way we look, the feeling of accomplishing something important. Such addiction leads to short term misallocation of invested time which leads to long term straying from the selected path. This is my own battle.

Dr. Jim Martin is a life-long competitive cyclist and well-known professor and researcher in exercise science whose work has had a strong impact on understanding cycling biomechanics and pedaling mechanics. He’s especially recognized for applying scientific methods to questions that many cyclists and coaches debate — like crank length, cadence, pedal stroke, and how muscles produce power on a bike.

• Crank length (mechanical advantage? Same crank length on all bikes for neuromuscular optimization?
• Cadence (higher cadence allows faster response to attacks vs. standing up to accelerate which reduces muscular endurance). Faster cadence reduces variation in power generated during pedal stroke which preserves muscle endurance
• Quad vs. glute power dominance / pedaling technique: unweight hands.
• Pedaling technique: perfect circles like a mountain bike rider, mashing (like when standing up), pulling up to “unweight” the pedal coming up, and “scraping mud off shoe” (LeMond)
• Any training recommendations? Single leg training? Why? How? Eccentric or muscle lengthening training? How to train it?

• Mitochondria live inside your cells and regulate energy, metabolism, and cellular signaling to drive your body’s physiology, endurance, and resilience. The function, dynamics, and efficiency of mitochondria correlate with either health and well-being or poor health and sickness.
• Normal aging, diet, exercise, exposure to stressors, and other variables have been proven to impact mitochondrial function (energetics) and dynamics (shape and size).¹⁻³ The maintenance of
• mitochondrial function and dynamics are essential to health.⁴ Individuals who have a disease, are sick, or are in poor health will have poorly functioning mitochondria and compromised dynamics. Individuals who eat properly, have good sleep hygiene, train, or exercise demonstrate improved mitochondrial function and dynamics.
• The mescreen™ is a mitochondrial efficiency screen that provides an energetic profile of your cells and ultimately of you. Establishing a baseline mescreen™ score and tracking it over time provides you with a tool to assess your mitochondrial function. mescreen™ is also part of an ongoing research project that will allow you to compare your mescreen™ score in the future against other populations that are sick, healthy, elite performance, and other to gauge where your cellular health and mitochondrial function are at.
