Sleep: An Undervalued Ergogenic Aid

Today, thanks to the generosity of Catalyst Athletics, today we are offering Dallas' article for free - available to those without a subscription to PMenu. (Although if you don't yet have a subscription, we can't help … [Read more...]

Context Matters: Additional Factors

context2

If you read our 9 Blog articles, participate on our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter, you’ve probably heard us say, “Context matters” on more than one occasion.  Just last week, we published our Whole9 Health Equation, laying out our big-picture view on health and underscoring that very same point.  But aside from the obvious factors, what else is involved in the discussion of context? CON·TEXT noun /ˈkänˌtekst/ The circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, … [Read more...]

The Whole9 Health Equation

whole9 health equation

Since founding the Whole9 in 2009, we've used “our 9” to address the multi-faceted nature of a healthy lifestyle with our consulting clients.  But after developing a great working relationship with Robb Wolf and attending several extraordinary nutrition seminars (including Robb’s), we decided to concentrate our public health focus on nutrition.  Since then, we’ve written extensively about nutrition’s role in a healthy lifestyle over the past several years, and conducted more than 70 Foundations … [Read more...]

The 400,000 Hour Body

the 4 hour body

We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort.   This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since we first started paying attention to what we ate and how we moved.  And wouldn’t it be great if it were true?  If you could achieve all of your health and fitness … [Read more...]

Derailed

I am 100% ready to return to my regularly scheduled blog-writing here at UGD, but first, a little insight as to why my personal posts have been few and far between lately. See, up until recently, my life has been pretty steady. My days looked a lot the same – I do enjoy a bit of the Groundhog Day, so I tend to find a routine and stick with it. Wake, gym, my 9-5 job, coaching or writing for the blog or 603 site, early to bed, get up again the next morning and do it all over again. I liked my … [Read more...]

The serious business of sleep

I've been giving a lot of thought to the role sleep plays in our overall health and fitness pursuits. It's a factor often discounted, placed well behind training and diet. We weight and measure our food, we diligently count reps and record times, but we get home and put bedtime off for a few hours in favor of watching our favorite TV show or surfing the internet. I've been guilty of it myself - staying up late writing blog posts but still dragging my butt out of bed at 5 AM for a workout. … [Read more...]
