Nutrigenomics for the Fitness Professional, Powered by Quest Nutrition®
Your clients have heard the same old advice for years — get more protein, load up on healthy whole foods, avoid excess carbs.

In this episode she will break down the 45 genes that have an impact on your client’s health and wellness and will reveal which genes are the most important for building muscle, and losing fat.

Micronutrients and the Immune System, Powered by dotFIT™
A properly nourished human body is the greatest known pharmacy. No one has been able to duplicate it or we would not need vaccines. In fact, a vaccine is a “product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific pathogen and related disease, protecting the person from that disease, i.e. the cure is created by the human body." Without proper nutrition, the immune system is poorly equipped to defend the body when exposed to pathogens. For this reason, we must take a “prevention before cure approach” when it comes to immunity support. On this episode, host Kat Barefield, MS, RD will cover the key micronutrients involved in the immune system, which ones many people fall short of, and how to build and support a strong immune system through nutrition.

Conventional Program Design Made “Unconventional”
Weeks in advance we program with the best of intentions. But the reality is that optimal loading is a daily conundrum between biology and logistics where individual variance reigns. Clients will tolerate and respond differently to the magnitude and frequency of training load, with too much stress leading to breakdown and possible degradation of health. In our quest for optimal adaptive responses, the application of training stress must be in line with our client’s current state of physical readiness. Autoregulatory adjustments in programming are every bit as necessary as system updates are for our smartphone devices.
In this episode, NASM Master Instructor Andy Hanley will expose you to some tools, techniques, and tactics that will facilitate you in guiding your client to better self-govern and adjust for what they are experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally during the session. In the high-stress playground of the modern-day athlete or weekend warrior, the recipe for success requires a fluid, adaptive process involving both progressive and reactive manipulation of even pre-planned training stimuli.

CEx: Next Level Integration
Movement is more than muscles working in isolation. When we see faulty movement in our clients, we need to dig a little deeper to find a solution. So, if you want to get the most from your corrective exercise programming, you must know your slings. In this episode with Master Instructor Andrew Mills, learn about the four major muscle subsystems (slings) and why they are important to consider when selecting the right integration exercise. Subsystem coordination is critical for optimal performance and decreasing injury risk factors. Ultimately, you’ll see that developing healthy motor patterns (intermuscular coordination) is about more than just avoiding movement compensation.

Nevertheless, we are genuinely a few steps from prevention.
On this episode, host Tony Ricci, EdD provides fitness professionals with a general review of the pathophysiology of diabetes and discusses the current research in exercise and nutrition that will help us see just how quickly we can start to reverse Type 2 diabetes in just a few small steps.

Interoception: The Emotional Side to Fascial Fitness
Mind-body awareness is more complex than just kinesthetic and proprioceptive awareness. Research shows that we also have an emotional side to body awareness called interoception. Interoceptors, or the emotional side of fascial fitness, make up 80% of the peripheral nerves found in our fascial system and can be greatly influenced through appropriate movement patterns. This enlightening session will describe the impact of interoceptive perceptions on client recovery, and demonstrate interoceptive cues that can be integrated for enhanced mind-body connections for your client. Join Dr. Emily Splichal for the latest episode as we explore the emotional side to fascial fitness programs and learn how important this information is to all health and movement specialists.
