In this episode, Derek Stanley joins me to share some strategies, tips, and tools to maintain dietary control during the holidays. November and December are the months where the highest concentration of weight gain and increases in fat mass occur, primarily due to holiday eating and changes in normal routine. Derek shares some practical info about how to avoid these pitfalls while still enjoying this time of year.

In this episode, Dr. Chad Kerksick joins me to finish our discussion of the timing of ingestion of specific ergogenic aids and micronutrients that can impact muscle performance. We make it through the second half of the ergogenic aids and micronutrients from the study "Timing of Ergogenic Aids and Micronutrients on Muscle and Exercise Performance," which he co-authored.
The full text of the study can be found here: https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s12970-019-0304-9
Dr. Kerksick is an associate professor of exercise science in the Exercise Science Department in the School of Health Sciences at Lindenwood University. He currently serves as the director of the Exercise and Performance Nutrition Laboratory and the Master of Science in Health Sciences program at Lindenwood University. His primary research interests include sport nutrition as well as the biochemical, cellular, and molecular adaptations relative to various forms of exercise and nutrition interventions, primarily those that promote muscle hypertrophy, prevent muscle atrophy, and promote health and recovery in healthy as well as clinical populations.

In this episode, Ambrose Coleman and I discuss biomechanics and enjoy some bourbon. We catch up on what has happened since our last podcast, and we talk about some things that are very much outside our scope of practice. Sorry in advance to anyone who is offended, but no one is making you watch or listen.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Ashley Shrum of Calibrated Physical Therapy. She shares her lofty goal of preventing 100,000 overuse injuries in youth volleyball by 2030, why these injuries occur, her strategy to accomplish this goal and educate coaches and athletes, and how you can be a part of this goal. We also talk about deceleration and landing mechanics, why coaches should track growth spurts in youth sports, and the gap between when physical therapy ends and when return to competitive training and competition begins.
Dr. Ashley Shrum, PT, DPT, is a volleyball movement specialist and the owner of Calibrated Physical Therapy. Her mission is to prevent 100 thousand unnecessary youth overuse injuries by the year 2030. She helps educate volleyball coaches on injury prevention and safely reintegrating athletes to the court after injuries occur.

In this episode, Jörn Utermann joins me to discuss his role as a Performance Nutritionist for athletes, his Master's Thesis on HMB (and whether you should be taking it or not), and the hierarchy of dietary needs for athletes. We also talk about low-carbohydrate diets for athletes, and whether or not this leads to optimal athletic performance.
Jörn has been a Performance Nutritionist since 2017, working with elite and recreational athletes of various sporting backgrounds including Crossfit, combat sports, powerlifting, and Football (soccer). He has a Bachelors of Science in Nutritional Sciences, a Masters of Science in Sport and Exercise Nutrition, and has earned the International Olympic Committee's Diploma in Sports Nutrition.

In this episode, Steven Machek shares some brand new research on muscle fiber types and muscle creatine content in powerlifters. He explains the differences between the primary muscle fiber types (Type I, Type IIa, and Type IIx) as well as sharing some interesting stuff on hybrid muscle fibers. He blows my mind with new information about Type IIx and athletic performance, as well as new information about Myosin Heavy Chain Composition similarities and differences between males and females in general as well as in male and female powerlifters, specifically.
Steven Machek MS, CSCS*D, is a third-year doctoral student at Baylor University that is passionate about powerlifting. His research interests are powerlifting-centered, but also focus more generally on the intersection of resistance training and sports nutrition.

In this episode, Elia Oliviero Barbon joins me again, this time to share his experience as an independent online coach. We talk about the differences between working for someone and working for yourself, his routine to maximize daily and weekly work output, the objective and subjective measures to maintain and manage his client's training and health, and some of the behind the scenes details of online coaching that most people are simply unaware of. I have really enjoyed all my conversations with Elia, and this one is no exception!

In this episode, I talk about some of the potential benefits of daily dietary routine. Although I am not a fan of meal plans because of the excessive structure, I do think that programming or planning specific foods at specific times of the day can be very helpful to hit a specific goal (for example: Calorie goal, protein goal, fueling right before training, etc.). Not all repetition and routine is bad, but there should also be room for variety.

In this episode, I visit Run On! Richardson to deliver a nutrition clinic on how to optimize the athlete's diet to maximize racing performance, training load and volume, and recovery between training sessions. The follow-up questions from the athletes watching the live stream as well as those in the store were really excellent, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to discuss nutrition with those who want to take their athletic pursuits to the next level. If you need a new pair of running shoes, GPS watch, or just about anything else running-related, I can't recommend this store enough.
