Strength training is integral in every workout routine — for building muscle, as well as tapping into the many ways it influences overall health.

With that in mind, Jeff Rosga, CPT, joins us to talk about the movement patterns and other variables that form the backbone of a well-rounded and productive strength regimen.

Ketones are a naturally occurring energy source that our bodies produce when they’re running very low on glucose and can’t access it for fuel (such as when fasting or following a strict low-carb diet). When this happens, the body instead breaks stored fat down into ketones.

In recent years, there’s been increasing interest in exogenous ketones and how they can complement our bodies innate production of this natural source of energy. Ketones can aid athletic performance and recovery, offer neurological and cognitive benefits, support metabolic flexibility and energy production, and more. Elizabeth Yurth, MD, speaks to these benefits and the role of ketones in health, as well as how exogenous ketones can come into play for support.

This episode of Life Time Talks is sponsored by Kenetik.

Sleep is one of the most significant lifestyle factors influencing our health and well-being, yet it’s one of the first things we compromise when life is busy. Or when there’s something fun to do or watch or read. Or when we have a big project and looming deadline.

While sleep is too often taken for granted, its role in our lives cannot be underestimated, as too little or poor quality of it can negatively affect us physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. The opposite is also true: When we prioritize sleep and make it a nonnegotiable health habit, it can help us look, feel, and function at our best.
