Jason Kelce retirement
-
Jason Kelce, famous center for the Philadelphia Eagles, has announced his retirement from the NFL. He has chosen the path of gratitude and being a present father for his young children.
Kelce was a center, which means he was exposed to multiple high speed collisions, every game, for many years. As such, he has a high chance of developing CTE(chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and has a 90% chance of already having some level of degenerative brain damage. He's a perfect person to enjoy longevity and health through bioenergetics.
We need to get Progest-E into Kelce's hands. He needs to be taking aspirin. He needs thyroid. He needs gelatin.

@JulofEnoch A bit off topic but I wonder what diet NFL players consume? No doubt each game exerts an incredible amount of energy. They would need a lot of healing time to perform their best and I wonder what they do for recovery.

Perfectly on topic, this is something I have thought about and have been interested in for a while. Collegiate and professional nutrition, in general, is seemingly a big place to focus bioenergetic thought on; high stress, high recovery needs, differential needs for athletes in different sports. How do you feed the woman biathlete, the male Olympian fencer?
As @eugene said, there are videos about the diets of NFL athletes and other athletes. Important to note that many athletes eat what their team nutritionist is taught, top athletes diets get their way ala Brady, but most athletes are getting low-fat, high PUFA % meals loaded with vegetables and protein shakes. Some programs push plant-based proteins, nut milks, and veganism on their athletes.
Location and food culture play roles as well- Montana rodeo team eating pig kidney sausage seared in pasture-raised lard vs Southeast US football team eating discount porkchop battered and fried in corn oil.
All this being said, D2 and above schools(those who might have a dedicated cooking service for athletes) do ime go a little further in getting good quality meats and other ingredients, so there's at least one benefit compared to the average student. Professional teams who can afford it buy grass-fed beef, bison, wild-caught fish and seafood, etc. As dogmatic as dietetics can be, they understand that grass-fed is better than tortured soy puck beef.
The exertions of most college athletics is immense. Professional sports all the more, save for some less intensive, concentric sports like golf, squash, tennis. Football, basketball, and soccer come to mind as the most strenuous American popular sports Strongman, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, etc. are all extremely strenuous(Olympic being less so) but not popular. I haven't seen much content about this- I also haven't looked very hard.
I know that every time a big star blows a tendon or something, then there's a minor surge in articles about the "latest science" in sports recovery. Sports medicine is cool but as dogmatic as any field. Baking soda loading for endurance is an established and allowed practice in sports nutrition.
Even at the college level, even the lowest NCAA schools will have dedicated recovery facilities with ice baths and a recovery specialist role; I've been to several community colleges(below NCAA) with feedback machines for practicing muscle stimulation and relaxation.
Many D1 athletes would be better served by playing in a dedicated "young person's" league with generous payments and sport-experience derived certificates, rather than pretending to go to college.

Idk how I forgot to mention this.
Stan Efferding's Vertical Diet is popular amongst strength athletes, strongmen in particular, and is gaining popularity in college and NFL. Stan is a student of Peat..
Snack/breakfast of orange juice and yogurt, liberal consumption of carrots, coconut oil, anti-PUFA, not afraid of cholesterol, pro-dairy, no 1g/lb protein dogma, recognizes carbs as protein-sparing and protein as building material not energy, bone broth. If you wanted a conventional, popular diet that's somewhat close to bioenergetic diet, then Vertical Diet. I did it for a year out of need for simple diet and I like meat + rice, I liked it and it's what opened me up to Peat more.

Is this the Pfizer spokesman who is the "boyfriend" of that fake, blonde puppet?

Oh, I could have looked that up first. It's the brother. -
@JulofEnoch Very thorough answer, thank you.
