MASS Office Hours Episode 57 (Brain Health, Mobility, and Q&A)

In episode 57 of Office Hours Live, Dr. Eric Trexler is joined by Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple for a wide-ranging discussion on fitness, sports, and research. They begin by chatting about recent college football events and transition to the serious topic of concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), with Dr. Trexler sharing insights from his own research and personal experiences. After that, they discuss advice for endurance athletes balancing strength and hypertrophy training. They also discuss practical tips for improving mobility, the role of fat timing in diet, and strategies for increasing protein intake. Additionally, Dr. Trexler provides insights on the effects of creatine supplementation on brain health, before Dr. Colenso-Semple closes the episode with a discussion on the benefits of unilateral exercises for correcting muscle imbalances and improving strength.
