[jbox color="grey" radius ="2"] The Momentous Minute with Tim Caron Today's Momentous Minute is with Tim Caron, the owner of Allegiate Gym and performance engineer at Momentous, the sports nutrition company on a mission to clean up the supplement industry. Today's question is around plant-based versus whey-based proteins and the big question is when should you use a plant-based protein versus a whey-based protein? Tim Caron: More people than you realize actually have an intolerance or an allergy towards whey protein. Whey is a very fast digesting protein, so when you're looking at something that quickly digests, you may potentially have some adverse reactions. Signs and symptoms including distended gut, some skin irritation, inflamed joints, potentially loose stools, excessive flatulence, acute nausea. These might be all indications that you're not tolerating your whey protein as well as you should. Now, we need to supplement something in terms of getting increased protein levels, so a plant-based protein, usually kind of a combination of rice, hemp, and pea from really high quality sources, organic, and things that actually blend to make a complete protein. Plant based protein might be a really good alternative that doesn't have as much digestive issues as a whey protein. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast? Then, please take a minute to review the show.

(#285) Matt Wan, the dynamic CEO and Founder of Momentous, joins the show this week. Matt shares his story about getting started in training and what he learned at a very young age about the importance of nutrition. His story is what ultimately drove him to "make a difference" and do something bold to disrupt the sports nutrition industry. Here's what you'll learn this week: Why we should care about Matt's passions in fitness The #1 thing Matt learned when he started training Why Matt wanted to enter the highly competitive sports nutrition industry The shocking truth about the products that professional athletes use The product brand Matt uses himself (outside of Momentous) Why premium products come at a cost How a consumer can determine if a product is high-quality? An overview of "standards and label certifications" - what do they mean? The "performance car" analogy (and what it means in choosing supplements) What we should know about pricing - why you get what you pay for How to know if a protein supplement is "high quality" Why it's important to get a "one source" protein The difference between the 3 whey-based proteins at Momentous How Momentous was able to make such a great tasting product "Real world" experience and feedback from athletes and dietitians The importance of prohydrolase What Matt's "go to" protein shake consists of... Some very interesting facts about organic plant-based proteins The "why" behind all the key ingredients to make a high-quality protein His bold vision about the next few years A specific actionable takeaway after hearing our interview...

[jbox color="grey" radius ="2"] The Momentous Minute with Tim Caron Today's Momentous Minute is with Tim Caron, the owner of Allegiate Gym and performance engineer at Momentous, the sports nutrition company on a mission to clean up the supplement industry. Today's question is how much protein can be consumed and utilized by the body at one time and what can alter protein consumption? Tim Caron: It depends a lot on your ability to digest proteins and your overall body mass. More muscle mass usually leads to more overall calories or individual macronutrients, in general, in specific to protein. So, when we take protein in abundance, this has a high satiety level and satiety means that we're going to get filled really fast. It's really difficult to determine an exact amount, but typically the bigger you are and the better you digest proteins, the more you can do that, which leads to the quality of the protein. You don't need as much when you have a higher quality of protein relative to eating a lower quality of protein mixed with some other things that might affect your actual satiety levels - like high sugar, maybe really processed foods, savory, salty foods. Getting higher quality protein, in conjunction with higher quality foods, helps your ability to digest and assimilate proteins at a higher level. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast?

(#283) In this week's episode, I'll share the story about the fitness workshop that literally changed my life. By making a simple decision to sign up for a one-day kettlebell training workshop, little did I know that it would change my life and lead me down an entirely new path over the last 10 years. This one experience was the "big domino" that changed everything. I'll tell you the story and the 5 major lessons I look away from that experience. And, my hope is that you come away from this episode knowing what your next step is. Here's a few things you'll hear about this week: Why a "live" training event can be transformational for you My major "aha" moments during the workshop experience What shocked me the most about attending this event How that experience started the "domino effect" for the last 10 years The most valuable lesson I learned about myself after it was over...

Now, we've talked about the NSF certification before and the question today is when it comes to supplements, when do we need to look at with this certification (the NSF certification)? Tim Caron: If you're an athlete you should always be conscientious of what you're putting in your body. If you're someone who's competing you should always have a high standard in what you put in your body. In general, if you're investing in supplements you should always have the highest possible standard of what you're putting in your body, that makes a huge difference. And, when you're really evaluating your process of training and nutrition and supplements opting for the highest quality caliber of things to do and having a third party (NSF is the most widely respected independent certification organization today) that that actually can comes in and help you make that decision. It makes that process just a little bit easier, as well as a little clearer, on what you need to do. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast? Then, please take a minute to review the show.

[jbox color="grey" radius ="2"] The Momentous Minute with Tim Caron Today's Momentous Minute is with Tim Caron, the owner of Allegiate Gym and performance engineer at Momentous, the sports nutrition company on a mission to clean up the supplement industry. Today's question is do we really need to supplement with protein sources like protein powders and why? Tim Caron: We wish we lived in a perfect world where the reality is we can get all of our protein needs met by food. The unfortunate thing is we don't. People are busy, athletes are on the go, if your training goal is always to be in a net positive in regards to your amino acid pool, but it's also really hard to get a full complete meal after your workout. Now when we're looking at post-workout, a really big benefit in terms of recovery is having bio-availability and actual proteins that digest quickly. Things like whey protein and plant-based protein, they actually digest quicker and in terms of getting your amino acid pool replenished to be in net positive in terms of overall protein, so you can build muscle. Protein supplements do make a big impact. If we're really trying to get the maximum out of our training, we need to make sure that we're having the recovery aspect dialed in afterwards. And just having a convenient, useful tool to get that protein need met, that does make it necessary. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast? Then, please take a minute to review the show.
