Social Media Fear Mongering, Importance of Whole Foods, BCAAs and Creatine Ep. 5
In this episode, Jaime and Laura discuss the problem of food fear mongering by Instagram influencers and the confusion it creates for people. They emphasize the importance of looking at food as a whole and not demonizing individual ingredients. The conversation then shifts to the topic of organic food vs non organic food. They highlight the importance of consuming fruits and vegetables regardless of whether they are organic or not. Finally, they address the disconnect between the high number of healthcare-related businesses and the prevalence of obesity in the United States, attributing it to cultural factors and the convenience-focused American lifestyle. Other topics discussed are the effectiveness of BCAAs and creatine supplements, the benefits of choline for brain health, and the differences between training for strength and hypertrophy.
