In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tommy Wood and Dr. Ben House for a deep dive into the nuances of scientific research, especially concerning body composition, muscle gain, and dietary strategies like low-carb and keto for advanced trainees.

We break down common research methodologies, highlight the challenges of accurately measuring training volume, and explore why individual responses vary. Along the way, we tackle the practical aspects of collecting and interpreting data, debunk common misconceptions, and emphasize the critical role of context and nuance in applying research to real-world scenarios.

If you're looking for a conversation that blends rigorous science with actionable insights, this episode is for you.
