Episode 27 - Interview with Jeff Stout PhD and Tim Ziegenfuss PhD
Sports Science Dudes
Introduction
The hosts introduce their special guests, Dr. Jeff Stout and Dr. Tim Zigenfuss, highlighting their expertise in sports nutrition and performance enhancement.
Timeline
4:30 – How the sports supplements/nutrition category has evolved in academia and industry – Stout and Ziegenfuss. The scientific community wasn’t supportive. Industry leaders? EAS? Gatorade technically is a supplement but the powers that be didn’t classify it as such.
9:25 – Once you work in the industry, you’ll never get back into academia – one of the big LIES pure academicians will tell you.
14:07 – Tony Ricci’s experience with Pfizer; a funny story. Total cholesterol as a sole marker for CVD is total bullshit.
20:27 – Collagen protein – good for what exactly? If it helps or has a neutral effect, try it!
23:23 – Beta-alanine – why not just take carnosine? And how to avoid the pins and needles effect?
27:38 – Dr. Z has an answer for eliminating or attenuating the paresthesia!
28:42 – Dr. Z says that Roger Harris PhD says the carnosine is good for helping your hangover from excess drinking.
29:27 – Anserine, Balenine – cousins to carnosine – (not beta-alanine as Dr. A said).
31:51 – Beta-alanine and Creatine – thoughts on using it for weight class athletes (i.e., fighters).
37:35 – Thoughts on HMB – why is there such an odd emotional response to HMB? It does have an application particularly if you are old, underfed, or training like a maniac. It ain’t like DECA!
46:31 – Why not leucine rather than HMB?
48:46 – There is a utility to BCAAs vis a vis attenuating DOMS
51:00 – Cold water immersion – does it help? Does it help reduce fat mass?
56:05 – Supplement recommendations from Drs. Z and Stout
