In this episode, we dive into a study that investigates the effect caffeine has on insulin sensitivity, but also on a few other parameters, like blood pressure, catecholamines, and free fat.

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.

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!

In this podcast, we'll be going over a study that touched on an interesting discovery between fat cells and our immune system when a person undergoes an extended (10 day) water fast.

In this episode, I do a deep dive into a study that finally tries to answer if saturated fat increases our cholesterol levels, independent of weight gain. Not only that, it also investigates the impact it has on the liver in terms of fatness - does it cause fatty liver disease?

In this episode, I'll be taking you through a study on alternate day fasting and its affects on cholesterol, fat, muscle, and three unique hormones - all in people without cardiovascular issues, which makes this study that much more unique.

In this podcast, I brush across a variety of concepts and information related to the hypothesis of "body weight set point" that espouses the idea that the body sticks to roughly the same set point in body weight when we attempt to change our weight, the body fights against that imposed change - why? What mechanisms and reasons might there be? Is there a better theory?

In this episode, I'll be walking us through a case study that recently released on a natural bodybuilder that was followed and measured by researchers for 12 months. They wanted to know how extreme dieting to low single digit body fat would affect testosterone, thyroid hormone, muscle mass, metabolism, and more, and if there were any negative effects, how long would it take to recover?

In this episode, we'll be getting into a study looking at the ketogenic (high fat) diet and its comparison to a calorie restricted low fat diet on various markers of health.

In this episode, I'll be explaining, based on a brand new case study, why the risk for re-infection is present, and what this means for the future of vaccines and herd immunity.
