Tips That Resonate (Stevenson, Gundry, Greenfield, and Matthews)

10/13/2019

Intro

I spend a good amount of time researching health/fitness experts. I usually immerse myself in information on one expert I am interested and spend time reading their books, listening to their podcasts, reading their articles, and watching their conferences on YouTube and get a good picture of their background before moving to the next expert I want to research.

Thinking back to experts I have done deep research on in the past, here are things that resonated the most when I think of their work...

Shawn Stevenson

Blue light exposure before going to bed strongly affects your sleep in a negative way. It is a good practice to avoid blue light (the typical light from screens and any LED lights) for a couple hours before bed. In the Settings on smartphones, you can change the light from blue (cold) to red (warm) at a certain time of day. I set mine to switch to red light at 9PM each night.
10PM-2AM is “money time” when it comes to sleep quality.

Dr. Steven Gundry

95% of diseases are not genetic and can be avoided by a healthy diet.
No matter what nutrition plan you follow, it is great practice to be plant-based due to the nutritional value of vegetables.
Fruit should not be looked at as healthy as vegetables. Fruit should be looked at as desert and all of the sugar needs to be kept in mind.

Ben Greenfield

It is possible (and the healthier option) to be a fat-burning athlete. Being low-carb allows you to access fat stores that someone on the Standard American Diet cannot. Check out another post where I talk about this, UConn’s FASTER Study.
After a heavy workout, avoid working the same muscle group again for 48 hours to allow for full recovery.

Mike Matthews

“The Big Three” exercises (Barbell Squat, Barbell Deadlift, and Barbell Bench Press) are essential in a workout plan. The more you progress in these three exercises, the stronger and bigger your muscles will be.
Warren Buffet’s 2-List Strategy is a great way to prioritize and focus on goals. It is important to limit the amount of goals you have so you can progress. This method is laid out in another post of mine, Setting Goals (Warren Buffet, Jordan Pederson).

Conclusion

These tips give a decent look at the information these experts have to share. Almost all of my other posts are related to the experts above so you can find more information on other posts or go to my Recommended Books page to find books from them.
