Does Collagen Count as Protein? (And What It’s Actually Good For) (Fuel-Up Friday)
Jan 3000:16:10Tap to summarizeToday we’re answering a question I get all the time:“Can I count collagen toward my daily protein?”Because if you’ve ever tried to hit something like 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight, you know this:It feels hard at firstIt’s unfamiliarAnd people look for shortcutsSo collagen comes up a lot.It’s marketed as protein. It’s easy to drink. It feels “healthy.”But here’s the honest answer:Collagen is not a muscle-building protein. But it is a useful tool—when used correctly.Today we’re doing a full collagen masterclass:What collagen is (and isn’t)Whether it counts toward protein goalsWhat it’s actually good forHow to use it properlyCommon mistakes and misuseAnd how to combine it with a smart protein strategyLet’s break it down.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Transcribe →Why ‘Eat Less, Move More’ Is Terrible Advice (Throwback Thursday)
Jan 2901:02:20Tap to summarizeThis episode originally dropped when the podcast was just getting started… and even years later, the message still hits hard.Today we’re revisiting “Why ‘Eat Less, Move More’ Is Terrible Advice.”Because while that phrase sounds simple — and even logical on the surface — it’s one of the most misleading pieces of advice ever given to people trying to lose fat, improve their health, and actually stick to change.In this episode, I break down why fat loss isn’t just a math problem… why hunger always wins when hormones are ignored… and why understanding insulin, metabolism, and behavior matters far more than just white-knuckling willpower.If you’re new to the show, what we talk about today may really surprise you —so I ask you to come in open-minded… and open to trying different approaches if the thing you’re doing right now isn’t working.And if you’ve been with me since the early days — you’ll want to listen to this one again. You’ll probably hear it with new ears, deeper understanding, and more context than you had the first time around.Because the truth is… We’ve been told to try harder — when we really needed better systems and better information.Let’s take it back.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Transcribe →10 Things a Sleep Doctor Would Tell You… If They Weren’t Afraid of Offending You (Wellness Wednesday)
Jan 2800:23:00Tap to summarizeToday’s episode might sting a little.Not because it’s extreme. Not because it’s judgmental. But because it challenges habits we’ve normalized that are quietly wrecking our sleep.This isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment — with how your body actually works.Let’s go.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Transcribe →Growth MINIsode #14
Apr 2, 2021Tap to summarizeThis will be a bite sized episode with the goal of setting an growth minded intention and focus, for the upcoming week. Each MINIsode will offer a quote that encapsulates the theme of the week. After the quote we will dive into a weekly focus. Something small that we can concentrate on for the following 7 days. As well as a physical activity tip and nutritional tip, that will assist us in working toward a more healthy and optimal way of living our own dream life. And each MINIsode will end with a recommendation for the week. This recommendation could be anything from a podcast episode to listen to, or a book to read, or even an article or paper, that I feel will help us better educate ourselves towards the overall focus of the week. If this is your first time listening to a MINIsode. The goal is to listen on Friday/Saturday or Sunday to be ready to start the challenges of the week on Monday. Listen to one MINIsode every week, and as that week finishes, move on to next weeks MINsode. You can start all the way over back at MINIsode #1 or join in with the team right now.
