Episode notes
Science Needs Real-World Context
- Relying solely on isolated studies can mislead fitness advice because lab conditions rarely match real-world behavior.
- Experience and context often trump controlled data when applying training and nutrition to individuals.
Prioritize Consistency Over Perfect Protocols
- Prefer programming that matches human behavior (e.g., more frequent full-body work) instead of strictly following short-term study protocols.
- Choose routines you can consistently perform to avoid missed volume and regression.
Behavior Drives Physiological Outcomes
- Behavioral chains (like fasted morning workouts) often drive results beyond physiological mechanisms shown in studies.
- Small habit changes can cascade into better daily movement and eating choices.
