That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Episode 4 Quotable moments:
35:34 “Reverse dieting in a nutshell is adding calories in a gradual manner or just starting off at a higher caloric intake level. This typically works for people who have been restricting so severely for so long that they're both psychologically and physically depressed from this prolonged dieting process to the degree that when you add calories to their diet, then they're able to improve mood and non-exercise activity, if even at a subconscious level.”
39:09 ”And by building new habits, I mean, not just the better food selection and a better sense of how much to take in on a regular basis. Not just those habits, the program habits, but also a better set of habits, that are in the realm of managing and dealing with deviations in, in the program.”
42:30 “Because at least in theory, if you lose a lot of lean mass along with fat mass, then the body senses this, and then you'll have higher hunger levels by the time you, you're at the end of the weight loss rainbow.”
