Protein Scaling, Fiber Types, Artificial Sweeteners
The Stronger By Science Podcast
Introduction
The stronger by science podcast is back. This week, eric treler returns from a 72-hour vacation. The show has also joined the screen actors guild sag as a subsidiary for fitness podcast co hosts and we presented eric with a union contract he was basically forced to sign.
To begin today’s episode, Greg and Eric clear the air and provide some updates about the recent chaos within the Stronger By Science Cinematic Universe. After that, Greg shares some Feats of Strength, followed by a Q&A segment. Topics covered include scaling protein recommendations to various body size metrics, how muscle fiber types should (or should not) impact your approach to training, how concerned we should (or should not) be about a new study linking artificial sweeteners to increased risk of cancer, and the health-related risks and benefits associated with dietary nitrate intake. To close out the show, Eric shares some stuff he learned about at the beach.
