My Resources

By Sam Suska

Nearly every week I get asked how I keep up with research, and how I continue to evolve my views on lifestyle, nutrition and exercise.  Therefore I decided to put together a blog with all of the blogs/podcasts/article sites that I frequent in order to accumulate knowledge and perspective about nutrition, exercise, health and life in general. After all, as Chris Kresser (one of the author/clinician that I follow) says "there is more to health than food, and there is more to life than health."

First, here are the scientific-dense blogs that I make a point to thoroughly understand and recall in order to integrate the new findings and thought processes into my present paradigm. I am not a scientist and have no desire to be one, but I know that being very comfortable with using the sciences to explain my suggestions will give my readers (I am writing a book) higher levels of confidence to use them to change their own lives for the better.  

Here are the best science based blogs:

Next, I frequent the following sites for more practical information.  The authors of these sites also tend to use a lot of science in explaining and determining their suggestions, but that aspect is less important than simply relaying the information to the public in a readily applicable manner.

Finally, within the scope of practical application here are the fitness and spirituality based sites that I frequent.   From these sites I learn a little bit almost every single day to help me as a personal trainer and more importantly keep me grounded and working toward my goals of personal development and optimal health and fitness.

In addition to these I also follow Jim Smith, a fitness writer for muscle and fitness, as well as Greg Everett who is a highly Ssuccessful Olympic lifting coach.  I watch all of Elliott Hulse's videos on YouTube and I occasionally read the work of Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Joel Furman and Michael Pollan all of whom have inspired me with their books in my formative years as a health and fitness enthusiast.  Best wishes in expanding your health and fitness knowledge base.  Take care.
