RX'D Radio Podcast

Pre-Script team Canada coaches reunite this week as Dr. Jordan Shallow is accompanied by Killian Hamilton. Today’s conversation is inspired by clients and colleagues sharing Instagram videos in the DM’s with no other context but - “Thoughts?”. Killian and Shallow unite in frustration over these engagements laying the groundwork for this discussion on the relevancy, value, and efficiency of one’s time.

The duo reflects on how much time is wasted surfing social media, where most will absorb the irrelevant information provided by others instead of forming unique opinions of their own. Killian and Shallow walk us through some of their structured, goal-oriented approaches to making money and discuss the vital roles of calibration and aim in successful business practice. Contrasting the lifestyles of the solo flying coach to the 9-5 puncher, Killian and Shallow highlight how following on the heels of others is a limiter and...

We return this week with the Canadian portion of the Pre-Script family, Killian Hamilton and Dr. Jordan Shallow, to discuss Killian’s realm of expertise in athlete skill acquisition  and Strength & Conditioning coaching.

Killian and Shallow unite in frustration about S&C coaches who attempt to match shapes in the weight room to those seen on the field of play, as well as why this method is born of a lack of knowledge and understanding of how to properly apply this training to sport. Killian discusses his training methods as well as his upcoming Skill Acquisition course. We dive deep into why the applications of training strength for sport versus training strength for strength are so very different. Killian does a great job walking us through the “whys and hows” of using the weight room to increase the physiological and neurological “bank accounts” of his athletes to afford them more runway for better...

This week, the doc welcomes nutritional mastermind, Phil Smith, to the RX’D Radio. Phil is a sports nutrition coach and owner of SportsPlus Performance, who works with everyone -- elite athletes and weekend warriors alike -- to help them optimize their performance and reach their goals.

Shallow and Phil take a deep dive today into the biggest questions surrounding training and performance nutrition. Phil answers questions on some of the most controversial topics such as supplementation, protein intake and timing, the keto diet, hydration, and much more.

They talk about carbohydrate sources, like Phil’s go-tos: sushi rice and bagels; they discuss both the methodology behind intense weight cuts made by fighters and strength athletes as well as rehydration and refeed protocols...

After warming us up with a very uncomfortable trip to the barbershop, Shallow meanders into his recent interest in modern conspiracy theories.
