Summary: 1. I always hear that sleep is important and on your first podcast you discussed how sleep is an important component in weight management. My question is what is the importance of sleep on recovery and on performance? Circuit training or free weights. Talk amongst ya'selves! 2. On the first week you guys mentioned the “toning” myth and alluded to it again last week but never fully explained it. Could you please explain why there is no such thing as toning when in virtually every womens (and mens) fitness magazine I see hundreds of people who appear rather toned? 3. What is your take on Creatine? I have heard both sides of the story on it. It is a great supplement that makes you bigger, stronger, and faster… and that it is dangerous and has some seriously negative side effects like kidney damage, heart failure, stroke, etc. I would love to hear your thoughts on Creatine Supplementation. 4.I have heard people say that we should all take fish oil. Is that true? If it is true why the heck should we all be taking a supplement that is essentially just fish fat in a capsule, that doesn’t make any sense to me. 5.I am a young healthy individual, eat really well, and I recently had some blood work done. To my dismay, the results came back a little surprising. Almost all of my numbers were good except the Dr. said I had high cholesterol (total cholesterol was 215), is this something I should be worried about? What does this mean about eating eggs or other “healthy” foods that have cholesterol in them?
