#120 // Exploring Nicotine Benefits, Ephedrine for Fat Loss, Nutrition Labels, & Pelvic Floor (for men?)

In this controversial conversation, the hosts discuss the topics of ephedrine and its ability to increase metabolic rate and suppress hunger. Nicotine and the studied health *benefits (yes, you read that right), pelvic floor training (especially for men). And when it comes to nutrition labels, they caution against relying solely on front-of-package claims, as they can be extremely misleading. TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) Intro (04:22) Ephedrine for fat loss (17:04) How to read nutrition labels (28:32) Nicotine benefits & risks (55:30) Pelvic floor (especially for men) Resources: -> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Access to all complete 12-week training programs HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fitness Stuff Calculators (Calorie, Protein, etc.)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FS Premium: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for Fitness Stuff PREMIUM here!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bonus episodes EVERY Friday answering your questions Weekly Legion supplement giveaways Access to ALL advanced 12-Week Training Programs Exclusive discounts to brands like Oura Ring, Marek Health, ⁠⁠⁠Examine.com⁠⁠⁠ Legion Athletics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take 20% off Legion Athletics Supplements with code “FSPOD” at checkout here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Takeaways Ephedrine can be an effective fat burning supplement when used responsibly, but it should be used towards the end of a diet or on days when hunger control is needed. Front-of-package claims on nutrition labels can be misleading, and it's important to be aware of the most common misleading claims, such as 'natural' and 'organic'. The term 'natural' on a nutrition label does not have a formal definition and does not necessarily mean that the product resembles anything natural. The 'organic' label tells you nothing about the health of a food, it is regulated by governing bodies but organic crops can still use both synthetic pesticides and non-synthetic pesticides. Understand the potential benefits of nicotine when separated from tobacco. Nicotine acts as a strong nootropic, enhancing cognition and focus by increasing neurotransmitters like dopamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine. Nicotine can also be used to reduce appetite and suppress cravings while dieting, but it should be used in moderation and with caution due to its addictive nature. Delivery methods like smoking and vaping can have harmful effects on the body, while options like nicotine gum or mints are safer. Pelvic floor training is beneficial for both men and women, improving bladder control, sexual pleasure, core stability, and reducing the risk of injury.
