Interesting New Product to go through the NASN Review Process

Many of our members don’t know that the National Association of Sports Nutrition actually does product review.  We have the longstanding reputation of being completely independent, accepting no sponsors or paid advocates of our certifying organization.  Our sole purpose is to train and develop unbiased practitioners who are open-minded, intelligent and not swayed by public opinion or psuedo-science.

Therefore, we are a perfect platform for open-minded, unbiased review of relevant nutritional products.  Our latest review to be published is a product out of the Argentinian Sea.  It is an interesting supplement derived from the ocean and advertised as a great product for health, longevity and even fitness.  Are you curious?  We were to.

Here is our official review of Nutrihealth’s Marine Epic

Get the latest information when it comes to SUGAR!

Millions of people are hooked on refined carbs that are directly linked to rising rates of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, depression, dementia, anxiety and autoimmune diseases, and more.

For the past five years, the Kick Sugar Summit has teamed up with doctors, scientists, authors, experts, celebrities and coaches to share the science and strategies you need to break up with refined carbohydrates.­­

What about superfoods, supplements, medical interventions, and pharmaceuticals that can save us from the damage that sugar does? Only kicking sugar stops the damage. Then and only then can therapeutic interventions and whole foods help us heal.

If we want to reverse our rising rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure, depression and dementia, cataracts and cancer, we have to address our consumption of sugar. It is that simple.

The Kick Sugar Summit shows us that it is absolutely possible to break free of sugar’s addictive and deadly charms. And that life on the other side is so much better.  All of the participants and speakers that are part of the Kick Sugar Summit are living proof. 

I am thrilled to be a speaker this year among an all star line up of world experts including: JJ Virgin, Susan Pierce Thompson, Ocean Robbins, Robert Cywes, Gary Taubes, and 40 more. 

This event is taking place for one week March 2-8, 2020. It is 100% free to participate. 

This is a must watch event. Register here now!

A loading protocol for bicarbonate that doesn’t make you run to the bathroom!

Image result for sodium bicarbonate

Most sports nutrition professionals have heard of sodium bicarbonate as a great ergogenic aid that buffers lactic acid and thus can delay fatigue. The downside of this has been that an effective does almost always lead to gastric distress. This new study shows a way to get the benefits without the “runs.” See the link below
