Which strategies or dietary supplements do you use to sleep as well as you

train? There are many out there, so the guys discuss a broad spectrum. From amino

acid derivatives to herbs, plenty of opinions and facts get discussed. Also tune in

for mail and news on creatine, strongman standings, and the potential downsides of

caffeine. Finally, thanks go out this week to supporting members William, Jason,

Jon, and Andrew; you know who you are and you are appreciated!

The guys invited EAS Chief Science Officer, dietitian, and bodybuilder Dr.

Steve Hertzler on the show! Not only is Steve head scientific honcho at one of the

world's largest dietary supplement companies, his love of lifting makes him a

perfect guest. Join in the conversation as the guys discuss everything from old

school bodybuilding legends to over-extrapolated scientific findings. Also tune in

for topics like vegetarian versus carnivorous diets, other podcasts, World's

Strongest Man, genetically-tailored probiotics, BPA, and tons more. Lastly, let's

share gratitude for supporting members like Ryan, David, Holly, Prasan, and other

friends that are mentioned in the episode. All of you help keep the show coming out

weekly.

This week Dr. Lowery covers the listener mail and news, then checks in

with the oft-traveling Dr. Nelson for insights on the Paleo FX meeting. During the

mail and news segment, Dr. L discusses a new discovery in fat burning as well as an

implantable device that may help lifters get a better night's sleep. The Topic of

the Day addresses news and speculation emerging from the Paleo FX industry event,

including muscle cell hyperplasia, sleep quality, useful apps and devices and much

more. Finally, a big thank you goes out to supporting members Matthew, Britney, Joe,

Michael, Bradley and Nathan, who all help make the show possible. You are

appreciated!

Which food strategies and dietary supplements actually have anabolic

effects? Find out in the Topic of the Day. First, however, the guys share listener

mail and news on everything from other podcasts to special fatty substances that

drive metabolic rate, to metabolic flexibility. After the mid-show break,

evidence-based nutrients for muscle growth get attention. With the myriad diets and

supplements that get touted, find out what works! Finally, fifty thanks to the

supporting listeners that keep the show coming out weekly! Christopher, Phillip,

Daniel, and Cory - you and Iron Brothers like you are appreciated!

This time Dr. Lowery is working through the weekend, so Phil records some

gym talk with fellow powerlifter Dal Gains. First, however, Dr. L pre-recorded some

listener mail and news. Topics include post-surgical nutrition, fasted aerobic

activity for activating beneficial genes, and a metal recommendation from Fortress

himself. After the break, Phil and Dal discuss a recent powerlifting meet and other

gym stuff. Note that the post-break chat exhibits some rough audio. It was felt that

the content is worthwhile for those who want to get the information, however.

With Phil away at a meet, Drs. Nelson and Lowery geek-out with doctoral

researcher Jorn Trommelen. His lab's protein research is debunking myths and

shedding amazing new light on many protein topics. How much protein can you really

absorb at a sitting? What's the best dose per meal? Can you make better gains by

targeting protein feedings at night? Which types work best? And what do purportedly

anabolic hormones actually do for muscle mass accretion? Find out!

Join Drs. Lowery and Nelson from the floor of the huge Experimental

Biology meeting in Chicago, Illinois, where they scour the research posters and the

researchers themselves for new findings that could help your training. Knowledge is

power!

Early in the show, listener mail on training types leads to scientific

discussion, then whey protein, big dollar powerlifting meets and fish oils get

attention. After the mid-show break, the discussion turns toward the cyclical nature

- across the decades - of extreme diets. Are you a low-carb proponent? An anti-fat

zealot? Or perhaps you're part of the minority, with a more moderate outlook. Tune

in for facts and tips that could affect your stance. Also, let's all remember

IronRadio.org is made possible by Iron Brotherhood members Cory, Jacob, Daniel,

Ruvim, Christopher and Douglas, along with other valued friends. You are

appreciated!

First, the science news is about ways to manipulate your gut bacteria for

health and gains. Second, the sports news is about a new youth record in Olympic

lifting. Third, product news touches on new types of buffalo meat snacks and the

Slingshot bench-assistive device. Finally, after the mid-show break, join the guys

in a conversation on what they've gained, and lost, through their involvement in

muscle sports. What have YOU gained and lost? It's time for reflection. This show is

supported in part by new Iron Brotherhood member Rory, and by longtime supporters

Korey, Jennifer, Bo, ASF, Zafer, and other valuable friends. Thank you!

This week mail leads to science news and the science leads to further

listener questions. Join Drs. Lowery and Mike, and Coach Stevens as they address

topics such as overhead pressing, hydrolyzed casein, citrulline malate supplements,

specialty carbohydrate products, and more. The guys even discuss recent personal

achievements in training. After the mid-show break, the guys continue the discussion

with talk of upcoming fitness expos, online sports nutrition courses, muscle fiber

types, the angle of pennation of muscle fibers and how it relates to strength, and

other stuff. Also, thank you Jon, Andrew, Neil and the rest of the supporting

members! You are appreciated!
