14: Dietary Trends in the Fitness World with Dr. Ben Wyman

Published: Sept. 25, 2018, 7 a.m.

This week on AnthroDish, we're delving into the world of fitness and nutrition with Dr. Ben Wyman. Ben is a light-hearted, laid-back neurology resident physician from Hamilton, Ontario. He loves sports, fitness, nutrition, reading, and relaxing with family and friends.

In this episode, Ben uses both his professional training and personal experiences in the fitness world to explore some of the major topics. We discuss gym ideologies and belief systems that connect food practices with fitness goals and training, break down the pros and cons of supplementation use, explore the emerging dietary practice of intermittent fasting and get the scoop from Ben about the ways in which this can safely be used and interesting health benefits/drawbacks that may be connected with it.

As a side note, you may hear us mentioning our mutual connection Beth a bit throughout this \u2013 so if you hear that and are wondering who the heck we\u2019re talking about, it\u2019s former guest Dr. Beth Jolley (episode 6), who spoke about dietary trends at large a few weeks ago.\xa0
