Dr. Chalmers Wellness Insights

The Dr. Chalmers Show Season #3, episode 13 - Lifting lighter: Is it an oxymoron, or can you get more benefits? #lifting #wellness #liftingsolution There are different schools of thought on lifting, training, and performance. Today, on the podcast I cover some of the differences between heavy, lighter, and form. There are significant health benefits to understanding the difference. Dr Matt Chalmers [00:00:10] So one of the other things I always try to get my athletes to do anyway was just trying to be healthy, we always talk about lifting lighter. If you go slow and you practice perfect form, you can use a lot lighter weight and still look and feel great and have all those things. Dr Matt Chalmers [00:00:30] If you're the type of person who has to be the strongest guy in the gym or the strongest woman in the gym, cool knock it out like, that's totally awesome I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that that's fantastic go set your goals and train for them. You train properly, work on, you know, the damage and stuff. I have tons of guys and women who are in that boat and that's fantastic if that's your thing. Dr Matt Chalmers [00:00:51] But if you don't really care about being the strongest person in the room, I don't care at all about that. Drop your weight, you can still look really good, you can still get big, you can still feel awesome and you're going to feel awesome more if you drop your weight. Dr Matt Chalmers [00:01:07] Because here's the deal Your muscles will grow faster than your ligaments and tendons and your joint well, so what that means is that you can make your muscles strong enough that they'll tear up your ligaments and tendons, and that will destroy your joint. And if you tear your ligaments and tendons and damage your joints, you're going to hurt possibly forever, so keep that in mind. Dr Matt Chalmers [00:01:28] So if you're like, you know what? Feeling good, looking good and being functional is more important to me than being the strongest guy in the room. Cool. Drop your weight and then increase the amount of time it takes you to lift it. Don't just go like this slow down and curl really slowly, press really slowly, do your flies, do your squats really slowly. Check out Chalmers Pillarsofwellness.com for Wellness updates!

Okay, I get a lot of flak for this one, but I think it's worth talking about. You're going to die; we're all going to die. Giving up everything that you love and enjoy so that you could maybe get a couple more days or another hour or a couple more years well, that's a call, you're going have to make. People ask me all the time that, like you drink lots of coffee, isn't coffee bad for you? The amount of coffee I drink is not great for you, but I love coffee. I'd take a lot of supplementations, I do a lot of things to offset it, but I like coffee, so I'm going to drink my coffee.

In this episode of the podcast, I cover a topic that is on the top of moms' minds everywhere. What about Dairy? Commercially produced cow milk has lots of chemicals, and I personally would not touch it. A lot of the problem is what the cows are being fed. if you can walk into the field and see a cow eating grass with no pesticides, you are probably ok. Listen to this podcast and let me know your thoughts, Automated Transcript edited for grammar. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:10] All right, Now I want to talk about dairy. We talked about cow meat. We talked about, you know, cows and stuff like that. People always talk about how you should cut dairy out of your diet. Dairy is a giant category; everyone's me says, I don't like what dairy or we're cutting out. Right, Dairy, it's bad for you to make our cow milk? People milk? Goat milk? Sheep milk? Cheeses? What do you? What? What type of dairy are you talking about? Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:41] Now, Cow milk has gotten a bad rap, and for lots of good reasons, commercially produced cow milk is terrible for you. It is tons of inflammation. A lot of that milk is I wouldn't even when it comes out of the cow before they chemically mess with it, I wouldn't even touch it. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:00] Because they've got their feed in this corn, these cows, corn, and all sorts of other grains. And that's not what they're supposed to be eating It just it makes that milk, and then the drugs they can put these cows in the number of literal pastures are allowed to be in the milkman, just that partial commercial cow milk in this country not a chance. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:23] If you can find raw milk now, we're talking as well as that stuff you've got to get from the actual farmer. And so you can go out, and you can see all of these are pasture raised and the cows are clean and, you know, raw cow milk is going to, you know, really great I would definitely do that one. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:39] But the big thing is, is the cheeses, you can get a lot of really good clean cheeses, especially the raw cheeses. Lot of different stores Whole Foods carries a bunch of them that are really great for you. Sheep and goat, manchego, I mean, there are tons and tons of really good cheeses out there that fall in the dairy. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:59] Now you have people who are lactose intolerant, people who have dairy allergies, and that's great. Those people shouldn't eat dairy or we should just desensitize them to it so they can be dairy, and that's made by primary but you've got to find somebody like me who can desensitize the terms of the chances that are low. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:15] But if you're allergic to suffer, sensitive to it, don't eat it or get decent sized to it. But I'll tell you that dairy is great and I love dairy I eat a lot of dairy I have a lot of my patients dairy I have a lot of my diabetics who like cheese, move over and started eating a lot of dairy, a lot of clean mozzarellas like all those Keto pizzas and stuff like that like there's lots and lots of room for dairy for a lot of people. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:42] So it's not just Cow Milk; there's, like I said, lots and lots of other stuff that's come with those things. Make sure you guys are eating clean foods, which is, by the way, clean is different for a lot of different people. Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:57] You know, nuts and seeds are not bad for some people they're terrible for others. But, you know, dairy is not something we should all just freak out about I mean like all dairy causes inflammation. That's not true. You know, commercially raised American cow milk causes lots of problems, but that is not the entirety of dairy so just a heads up on that one.

In this episode of my Insights to Wellness podcast, I talk about the fats that we intake in our diets. Not only what kind of fats, but how those fats interact with vitamins and your body is critical. Do you remember the old charts from your elementary school health courses? The food groups in a triangle, and now compare those to the new ones from the government. Both do not tell the true story, but you can see that it has even gotten further away from reality.

I get asked a lot, "Is diabetes treatment really hard in this country?" Well, it's not hard at all. Diabetes for the easiest way to break diabetes down is diabetes, where your body does not properly utilize sugars in insulin. I don't know why this is so hard for so many people to fix it. If your body doesn't do well with the sugars you're eating, stop eating sugars. , I think Keto is by far the better option for all diabetics. I know the Medical Doctors have zero ideas of nutrition and not a huge idea of how the body works, and I'm not trying to slam on meds. It's just they're taught a lot on how to use drugs, and they must be taught that because drugs are very important and very dangerous, and we need to know how to use them really well. If you have too much sugar in your diet and too much sugar in your blood, every single one of your body breaks. Now, here's the thing on this, if you get into full ketosis where your body will produce sugar on its own, and the sugar it's going to produce for your blood and for your liver. Detox and reducing reactive oxidative stress is a big piece of it so CoQ10, Methylated B Vitamins, we've got to clean the liver on people a lot, clean the kidneys specifically. But the first thing we always do is go Keto and that's the by far the biggest change we see in these people. So start with ketosis, Keto for any diabetic issues, that's a big one.
