Chrono nutrition: Intermittent Fasting improves Insulin Sensitivity INDEPENDENT of Calories

In this episode, we'll be diving head long into a study investigating the first slice of "chrono nutrition" on Physionic. I love this study, because they do several things really well and give us some clear answers regarding intermittent fasting and its impact on insulin sensitivity *independent* of calorie intake (finally!).

Three Mechanisms of Muscle Growth

In this podcast, I decided to jump into an area I've created a decent amount of isolated content and put it into one place. I go into a bit of depth, but not complete depth into three mechanisms of muscle growth - from the classic "muscle damage" to metabolic stress. Knowing this information can easily help us understand how to create training programs that aren't centered around old fashioned thinking - something I'll certainly touch on more, in the future.

Nutrition for Depression: Obesity, Epigenetics, and Tryptophan (yes, the stuff in turkey)

In this episode, we'll be diving into our third and final part of our "Nutrition on Depression" podcast wherein we'll be touching on depression's link in obesity, epigenetics, and the amino acid tryptophan (the same stuff found in turkey, and many other foods). Hopefully you find some, if not all, the information useful and informative. If you'd like to see the visuals, check out the video version of the podcast, as well.

In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of welcoming a good friend of mine back to the podcast to discuss a paper he picked out looking at a unique way that creatine affects our fat cells - specifically, the mitochondria within fat cells.

Women vs Men: Who Gains Muscle Strength Faster?

In this episode, we dive into an extremely simple study that investigates how quickly men and women, compared against one another, gain muscle strength from a resistance training program. Not only that, it touches on some interesting perspectives related to hormones and how the lack of testosterone in women may not be as detrimental as one might imagine - tune in and find out!
