In Episode 06: The Quantification Debacle, Geof and Todd discuss why they think that when it comes to your health & wellness (with the advent of technology) that we are stuck quantifying an endless number of metrics (i.e. steps, body fat percentage, metabolic rate, macronutrient intake, sleep, heart rate) that may or may not help us achieve our health goals.  More isn’t always better and just because you can measure something doesn’t mean that is useful to you.We also discuss how, at the same time that we’re quantifying too many things that we’re also failing to put into proper context who should be using certain products and services such as chocolate milk or Gatorade and whether we should be concerned with the latest “health scare” study put out by the factoid and tidbit, cocktail party conversation fodder, “according to the latest study”, press releases that is the modern day media.  So many of these press releases leave us less informed than if we have never heard anything about the topic at all.   Geof discusses how drinking chocolate milk immediately after a workout is not a magical recovery elixir and Todd laments on the fact that not everyone needs to drink sugar water with a splash of electrolytes (Gatorade) during a workout.For a link to our full post on our website, please click here
