14: Dietary Trends in the Fitness World with Dr. Ben Wyman

This week on AnthroDish, we're delving into the world of fitness and nutrition with Dr. Ben Wyman. Ben is a light-hearted, laid-back neurology resident physician from Hamilton, Ontario. He loves sports, fitness, nutrition, reading, and relaxing with family and friends. In this episode, Ben uses both his professional training and personal experiences in the fitness world to explore some of the major topics. We discuss gym ideologies and belief systems that connect food practices with fitness goals and training, break down the pros and cons of supplementation use, explore the emerging dietary practice of intermittent fasting and get the scoop from Ben about the ways in which this can safely be used and interesting health benefits/drawbacks that may be connected with it. As a side note, you may hear us mentioning our mutual connection Beth a bit throughout this – so if you hear that and are wondering who the heck we're talking about, it's former guest Dr. Beth Jolley (episode 6), who spoke about dietary trends at large a few weeks ago.  If you'd like to learn more about the new research that might put a kink in the paleo diet philosophy, you can also find the news article and link to the original scientific report below.  Media article https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jul/16/archaeologists-find-earliest-evidence-of-bread Science article http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/07/10/1801071115   Want more AnthroDish?
