How soon after a workout should you eat protein? What if you don't eat protein after a workout? Will you have lost any chance for growth? We're going to dig into the science behind protein timing for muscle growth. We'll look at the anabolic window and see just how big this window really is and what this means for your training.
Pro athletes train relentlessly to get insanely powerful and explosive movements. You could be watching the Olympics and see a gymnast pull a triple backflip and you’ll find yourself asking if gravity stopped working for that second. How do these athletes do it? Could you train your muscles to achieve that level of explosive strength, too?
Some say muscle memory happens in the muscles; others say it happens in the mind. And then there’s the spinal cord... Find out what this all means with Naomi as she shows us the science behind muscle memory and how your body can remember a movement that you haven’t done in years.
What is a healthy amount of protein for the day? Do our protein needs change if we start working out? What happens if we're not eating enough protein? We'll take a look at all of these questions and more in this video. You'll learn how much protein you should be aiming for in a day and what that looks like when you're picking out your meals.
Many of us have experienced the dreaded muscle atrophy from pausing our training. It's daunting to go back to the gym and to consider how much effort it will take to bring the muscle back. But thanks to an incredible feature of your muscles, it won't take nearly as long the next time you start training. Find out what causes this and how this will help your training with Naomi as she takes us on a deep dive into the science behind skeletal muscle memory in a 3-video series.
What's happening in your muscles when you train them? What's inside them that actually causes them to grow bigger and stronger? How does this relate to muscle memory? What does this mean for your training? Naomi, a chembio engineer by training, takes us on a deep dive into the science behind skeletal muscle growth and memory in a 3-video series. This is video 2 of that series.
We take a deep dive into the science behind epigenetics and how it affects your muscle growth and atrophy. Join Naomi as she explains what happens to your body on a molecular level when you work out. This is the third and final video of this series on muscle memory!
Why do we find ourselves bobbing our heads or tapping our foot to the beat of a song? How do musical bass beats trigger us to move? Here’s the science behind why our brains can’t get enough of a good beat.
Naomi takes us on a journey through some of the latest brain science and research to find out why we can’t help but move to the beat of our favorite songs.
Dr. Andy Galpin says protein grows muscle, regardless of exercising. But, is this true?
We’ll take a look at the science and see for ourselves the validity of this statement. If true, how much growth can you really get just from protein? Then we’ll see how much you can get from adding exercise to the equation and see how they compare.
Maintaining muscle mass is one of the keys to living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. How can we best support our muscles through the foods we eat? Through prioritizing meals that contain high quality proteins. In this video, we'll learn what proteins are, how they support your muscles, and how to find high quality proteins in foods.
Ever wonder how some athletes react so quickly? The play is over before you've had time to finish blinking. Maybe you chalk it up to superhuman abilities. But what if you could do this too?
Naomi takes us through the science behind reaction times and reflexes and shows us how we can improve our own reaction times by up to 35%. This video is part 1, and gives you the foundation to understand reaction times and reflexes.
This is part 2 of our series on reaction times and reflexes. In part 1, we learned the foundational neuroscience to understand how your body responds to external stimuli. In this video, we explore how to implement this knowledge to improve our reaction times.
Some people use neurofeedback to reduce their ADHD symptoms. Others use it to improve their peak performance. Find out what neurofeedback is and how it is used to train the human brain.
