Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this conversation with Christian LaValle of Metabolic Elite, we take a grounded look at what truly moves the needle in performance and recovery. Instead of chasing trends or piling on more variables, we explore how strategic supplementation, consistent habits, and clear decision making create real progress for both coaches and their clients.Place your order today https://www.metabolicelite.co/Apply coupon code KILO15Follow Christian LaValle @christianlavalle5 Follow James LaValle @therealjimlavalleChristian breaks down the supplement categories most coaches underutilize, why absorption and delivery systems matter, and how their liposomal technology changes what you can expect from a product. We also discuss the limitations of the optimize everything mindset, where coaches often overcomplicate their own health, and how to approach supplementation through precision rather than excess.The discussion extends beyond the technical. Christian shares what he has changed his mind about in the last year, why emotional balance is a core requirement for real performance, and how personal awareness shapes long term sustainability. This episode blends practical application, physiology, and real world coaching insight to help you evaluate where to direct your attention and where to simplify.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:47 Christian's Background and Journey to Metabolic Elite03:06 The Mission Behind Metabolic Elite06:53 Liposomal Technology Explained10:07 Research and Bioavailability Studies13:13 Product Deep Dive: Tetra Cur and Viraxall15:54 EndurO2 Aerobic Performance and HRV18:55 Glutathione and Liver Health21:01 BPC 157, KPV, and Injury Recovery Protocols22:45 Synapsin Cognitive Performance and Brain Health28:46 Product Stacking and Cycling Strategies33:34 BPC 157 as a Preventative Measure36:38 Growing Up in the Performance World43:27 Balance, Optimization Culture, and Stress48:19 Minimum Effective Dose and Long Term Training50:08 Longevity vs Being Your Best Now54:16 Blood Work and Supplement Periodization57:11 Overrated Trend Cold Plunge Culture63:37 Using Athlete Injuries to Push Methods65:00 Jim Lavalle's Legacy and Principles71:56 Underutilized Supplements Adaptogens75:28 Mitochondrial Function and Immunomodulators77:43 Misunderstood Supplements Berberine and Amino Acids81:26 Personal Recovery IndicatorsStay Connected with KILO: Have Questions?
