EP034: How to Use Posturology and Natural Foods to Train High-Level Athletes
As a former professional ice hockey player and wrestler, Paul Gagné has always had an interest in using the body’s natural systems to obtain peak performance. He currently trains high-level athletes using Posturology, Sports Physiology, and Strength Conditioning along with a Japanese style nutrition and diet regiment. He advises to only take supplements that activate the body’s natural systems, but only if you really need to.

[28:44] What is the difference in the proper diet of a high-end athlete vs. the average Joe? [35:08] We should wait for our bodies to tell us when we need food before eating. Most people eat before their bodies have finished processing food. [38:09] A good supplement activates our body's natural energy system.
