Driven Nutrition Whey Protein Coming To CFSB

By: 0

Guys and Gals, Retail is going to be an important part of our business for the remainder of 2017 and beyond. We know you have choices when it comes to the products you buy that support your goals in this gym, and we know you have your favorites. You don’t have to buy these products from us, but this line is going to be vital to our success moving forward. It’s another avenue for us to grow our business, expand our facilities, purchase new equipment, hire new coaches, etc. All we ask is that you give us a chance. One of the first places we have decided to focus our attention is Whey Protein. We have done a lot of research looking for a Whey Protein that CrossFit South Bend would proudly stand behind. We have chosen Driven Nutrition’s whey to proudly sell at the gym. Driven’s Whey is grass fed, it contains BCAAs and has 23g of protein per serving. Driven Whey also has a variety of flavors including Banana Pie, Caramel Latte, Chocolate Milkshake, Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Milkshake and Vanilla Dream. Out of all of the whey protein we researched, we feel that Driven Nutrition’s whey meets the demands of our community. We will have free samples available so make sure to bring a protein shaker to class! If you like the products (and we think you will), we’d love your support and we’ll do our best to maintain a good inventory. If not, we’re grateful for the opportunity. Either way, we want your honest feedback. A note from Brandon: What's more important than supplements? Lifestyle. Lifestyle. Lifestyle. Most of the time, the people that we work with can help a lot in the recovery and training process by simply adhering to the basic lifestyle guidelines. It is wise to ensure that all bases are covered before we stem into areas around supplementation.
For those who are in and are a part of fitness, these basics must be adhered to FAR BEFORE getting into discussions on supplementation. 1st - move blood, adhere to the sun and moon cycle, drink water, live purposely 2nd - get educated on food quality, choosing proteins, and listening to how food makes you feel 3rd - get educated on fats and carbohydrates and learn about food sensitivities and aversions 4th - get educated on food and longevity, fasting and detoxifying, and supplementation LAST.

What causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

By: 0

A lot of people have IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but most people don't realize that there is some underlying cause that is leading to those symptoms of IBS. The #1 cause of IBS is something called SIBO, which stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. SIBO occurs when too much bacteria, which should normally stay in the large intestine, starts to inhabit the small intestine, which shouldn't have quite as much bacteria. This can happen for any one of a number of reasons including excess sugar consumption, antibiotic overuse, slow motility (constipation), etc. Unfortunately, SIBO is rarely tested for in the conventional medical world, and as a result most people have to take a supplement or prescription for the rest of their life to deal with the symptoms of SIBO. In this first video, we talk about what SIBO is and how to find out if you have it. In the second video we'll talk about ways you can work with a qualified health practitioner to recover from SIBO. As always guys, but especially with this video, nothing said in the video should be taken as medical advice or as a substitute for medical advice. It's not meant to diagnose, treat, prescribe, or cure. Always talk with your doctor or other qualified medical practitioner before pursuing any new health protocol.
