Caffeinated Naps, Intuitive Eating, and Q&A Catch-Up
The Stronger By Science Podcast
The Research Round Up - Kafine Before a Nap
This week we look at a few different pieces of research. Napping plus kaffine was actually a little bit better than napping alone, according to the study. You can do a kafine timing strategy by having it consumed just before you take a 20 minute nap. If you're going to use caffinated gum as your route of administration, you probably want to avoid that too.
In today’s episode, Greg and Eric begin by sharing a Good News segment (2:08), followed by a series of updates and clarifications (9:43). After some Feats of Strength (19:51), Eric provides a Research Roundup segment (25:50) with studies related to caffeine naps (26:15), intuitive eating (30:05), and metabolic adaptation to weight loss (38:50). After that, Greg and Eric lament the current state of peer-reviewed scientific publishing (1:09:58), and Greg catches up on a ton of Q&A questions from listeners (1:37:30).
