Tendon Pain, Fueling Metabolism vs Calorie Restriction, Chicken Nutrient Density | THRR132

“United Kingdom-based vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians have similar all-cause mortality. Differences found for specific causes of death merit further investigation.”

Podcast Questions:

1. Reducing and preventing tendon pain? [12:03] Joe says: Hi Robb and Nicki, Loving the podcast and all your great content! I have tennis elbow, which the physio said was tendinopathy (after asking me some questions and getting me to do some movements.) I got it from weight training, and after taking a break for a month or so and then training with my other arm only, it's still there. As the rest didn't help, I've gone back to weightlifting. I avoid exercises that hurt it, but just moving weights around the gym, from the rack to the station, and general life tasks, seem to aggravate it. It seems to have spread into my wrist area and upper arm now. And I'm feeling a similar pain deep in my collar bone area (but not the bone itself but the soft tissue (muscle?) part (high upper chest/front trap?). Even if I was to stop lifting, I think I would still aggravate it, from just general things, like lifting a cup of tea, getting things out of my bag, etc. So I'm not sure I can just avoid triggering it and wait for it to go. I have some exercises from the physio that I'm doing. But is there anything else I can try, like supplements, or maybe red light or cryotherapy? Anything really that might help fix it and prevent it from coming back. I'm male, early 40s, and train with weights 3 or 4 times a week and have done for years. Thanks, Joe

2. Body Comp and Longevity [18:55] Lindsey says: Hey guys! Love ya lots. I have been following Robb since before my 15 year old twins were born. One of the many things I love about you both is that you are not afraid to change your views on health and nutrition. I love learning about both though I find it SO hard to decipher what is "true". I feel like so much information is contrary. I am a 41 year old mother of 5. (Ranging from 18-2 years old) I am super committed to my nutrition, sleep, activity, etc. Having kids in my 20's was very different than my last one at almost 40. I have found it much harder to "bounce back" to my pre-pregnancy body. I understand that as I age I won't have the same muscle tone, skin elasticity, etc though I want to give it my all. This is my question: I have heard 2 conflicting ideas: 1) fuel the metabolism 2) caloric restriction

Which is the way to obtain and maintain optimal body composition and best for longevity. Maybe the answer is that one is best to obtain and the other to maintain? Does this question make sense? Thank you guys!!

3. Nutrient Density of Chicken Sucks!@#$ [28:25] Derek says: So what now? I'm 140 pounds and want to get 1g of protein per pound. Is there still a point to getting protein from chicken if it is low in nutrient density; how does all that work? Love my LMNT and the holiday stuff rocks! Derek
