In Episode 017 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we speak candidly with Lyle McDonald about his new book: The Women’s Book: Volume 1 – A Guide to Nutrition, Fat Loss and Weight Gain. The book has been the culmination of over three years of research and work into the physiology of women. The 438-page book contains over 850 scientific references and covers virtually every possible topic relevant to women’s nutrition, diet, fat loss or muscle gain in detail. Background physiology on fuel use, fat storage and loss, stress, menstrual cycle function and more are all examined in detail. Many of these topics are discussed within the context of how women and men differ physiologically. Our podcast interview with Lyle examines some of the key myths around women’s fitness and nutrition topics, as well as general themes relating to training, nutrition and general health. The podcast was also graced by the spontaneous appearance of one of Don’s clients and actress, Blake Lively, as she offered her thoughts on training, nutrition and common stereotypes around women’s diet and fitness.Lyle McDonald has written on sport and fitness nutrition for several decades, with over 12 publications to his credit.

In Episode 014 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, Don and Derek hold one of their periodic debrief sessions to talk about the quality of information on fitness available on various social media channels. The “Wild West” mentality is front and center on social media, with everyone posting all sorts of information on exercises, training techniques and other health and wellness issues. For the average fitness consumer, it can be pretty overwhelming, as there is no “user’s guide” to selecting the right “expert” to follow. As Don points out, there is a certain “fluffy” quality to the majority of the fitness-oriented content being posted on social media. While there is a need to entertain followers to some degree, the content must also adhere to scientific principles and universally accepted truths on health, wellness, exercise and sport performance. What can the typical consumer do to choose the best content to follow? If a fitness personality looks good, does it mean that they truly know how to help other people with their fitness goals? These are all important questions when deciding to follow the information of a social media fitness personality or celebrity. At the very least, all consumers need to be aware that not everything can be taken at face value, and some research might be warranted before following the advice of a social media personality.

In Episode 013 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we speak with Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Ryan Reynolds. When not being mistaken for a Hollywood actor, Ryan works on a daily basis with some of the top athletes in the NFL including Travis Kelce, Justin Houston, Tyreek Hill, Eric Barry and Kareem Hunt. We speak directly with Ryan about the details around working with ultra-talented athletes – some of whom train extremely hard throughout the year, while others may simply be thriving and surviving on superior genetics and talent. There are also many constraints involved with working in professional sports as a Strength and Conditioning coach including the limited contact time with the athletes in the off-season. At the same time, strength coaches experience significant scrutiny by management, the coaching staff and the general public because of the physical nature of the game of football.Ryan previously worked as a strength coach at UCLA football, Arizona State University, University of Louisville and the University of Iowa before joining the Chiefs a few years ago. We look forward to seeing how the team does in the upcoming season.You can reach Ryan via email at:RReynolds@Chiefs.nfl.comYou can follow Ryan via on Instagram at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryankreynolds/The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.
