The Krush War On Sugar Returns With Dr. Ann de Wees Allen
This week on Krush Performance, we take a quick look at the return of professional sport and we get back to the battlefield in the Krush War On Sugar. Get set for a fast-paced, jam-packed conversation as we talk with Krush favorite, Dr. Ann de Wees Allen, Chief of The Biomedical Research Glycemic Research Institute.
We take a deep dive into the true science of nutrition and how your body and brain react to the food and beverages you consume and look at why the Glycemic Index is so important, so misunderstood, and so under appreciated, why are all calories are not equal, and the true implications of the Glycemic Load and Insulin Index.
Understanding these concepts is critical for truly fuelling performance and it goes much deeper than we first realized.
We’re talking about bio and brain energetics, energy metabolism, and the very latest on metabolic coding, the science behind how your brain and body respond to the fuel you put in your body.
We cover what you need to know about the food you eat and how it impacts your performance in sport & life and we get some expert advice on what you can do right now to better fuel your body and brain.
The #KrushWarOnSugar returns with a vengeance as we look at the real science of fuelling performance how your body actually handles the fuel you consume.

Performance Thinking – The Mind Game of Top Performance
What are you thinking? What you think about directly influences how you perform!
Unfortunately, most of us are thinking of the wrong things at the wrong times.
This week, we talk to Krush favorite Dr. Jacques Dallaire of Performance Prime as we reflect on his forty-nine years in the world of top performance and all of the performance issues top performances face and what we have learned to help them overcome the roadblocks and hurdles to perform at the highest possible levels.
What do you control? What is out of your control?
There is a simple formula that Dr. Dallaire uses to help us understand what is important and deserves our attention and what is not important and sabotages our efforts.
We unveil the “Holy Grail” of human performance with Dr. Jacques Dallaire….. and it’s not what you think.

Why Are We So Bad At Predicting Future Potential?
This week, we breakdown the incredible complexity of athlete and talent development and talent ID. We are joined by Dr. Joe Baker, Sport Scientist from York University.
How do genetics and environment influence what we become…how good we become and I ask the question: “Is Talent Real?”
If we can get a clear idea of what talent really is, can we get better at developing talent and identifying future potential? Collectively, we are not all that good at predicting future talent and potential.
Could it be we are looking at the wrong factors? The wrong variables? Is predicting talent simply too complex and unpredictable to be predictable?
We find out as we discuss all of this and more on this week’s jam-packed episode of Krush Performance

From the Top – Construction of a Performance Culture
It is one thing to be talented or to have talent, but it is a very different thing to have an environment where talent can reach its true potential. Great talent does not always equal great results. What does a performance environment look like? What is it, exactly, that makes an environment conducive to achieving top performance? Why is it that some athletes thrive, grow, and develop in one environment but struggle and stall in another?
This Week on Krush Performance, we talk with Chris Woodward, Manager of the Texas Rangers. After a great playing career and coaching career, Chris is now challenged with helping their players perform at their very best in one of the most competitive leagues in the world.
This is one of the most powerful Krush Conversations we have ever had. It’s Like a Masterclass on building performance environments!
We talk with Chris about:
- Expectations & Accountability
- The Secret Sauce – helping players connect the dots
- Safety & Love
- Defining Fun
- I don’t care if you fail….how does that work?
- Creating Fearless – there is nothing more powerful
- Process Stats – the numbers that drive performance
- Thanks to Chris for his incredible insight!
