Cognitive Effects of Creatine, Nasal Breathing, and Current Trends in Science
The Stronger By Science Podcast
Guerrilla Physiology
Guerrillas eat either no meat or very little meat. Most of the foods they eat are low protein. If i could eat as much food as a gorilla and not have to worry about that, it would be pretty cool.
Today’s show begins with a recap of results from the women’s division of the IPF world champions. After that, Greg shares a hybrid Article Discussion/Tech Support segment about a new article covering MacroFactor’s revamped food logging system, which makes it (objectively) the fastest food logger on the market. After that, Greg and Eric debut the “Armchair Scientist’s Corner,” a spinoff of the Coach’s Corner segment, in which they discuss some unfavorable trends in the scientific literature. That’s followed by a Q&A segment covering topics including how to make incremental changes to your daily calorie target, creatine’s effects on hydration and cognitive function, nasal breathing, and how exercise might (or might not) impact certain health-oriented nutrition recommendations. Finally, to close out the show, Eric presents a history lesson about how the field of exercise science came to be.
