In this episode, we finish up from last week by discussing how mitochondrial "behavior" is affected by excessive exercise, as well as its impact on mitochondrial reactive oxygen generation, which can cause damage to our cells.

In this episode, I cover a brand spankin' new study wherein the researchers attempt to answer the question of overdoing exercise and its impact on muscle mitochondria, as well as blood sugar regulation.

In this episode, we take a look at a study that investigates the impact weight loss/calorie restriction has on metabolic adaptation; we also briefly discuss the idea of metabolic "damage". This is one of a few episodes that I'll be using to cover the topic of metabolic adaptation.

In this episode, I take us on a brief breakdown of a study looking at the ketogenic diet and its impact on heart cell death, heart size, and mitochondrial content. Some intriguing, potentially alarming, results here, but we'll see what interpretations we can really make on this data - dive in with me!

In this episode, I attempt to make it as clear as possible, by comparison of high fat/keto to high carbohydrate diets and how they differ in their ability produce body fat loss, although one promotes greater fat burning/oxidation.

In this episode, I give a bit of a higher level view on metabolic flexibility - what is it? Why is it important? Instances of it? How to improve it? That's all covered in this podcast - enjoy!

In this episode, I briefly cover certain aspects of a study that looks into how effective fasting, specifically multi day water fasting, affects our mitochondrial content in our cells (muscle).

In this episode, I cover more detail on an experiment I decided to try on myself over the last 10 months wherein I try to maintain my muscle with minimal effort. I answer questions from 10 people who wrote questions out on how I pulled it off, as well as other questions related to fat loss and muscle perseveration.

In this podcast, we'll be going over a presentation I gave in one of my courses on Muscle Biology - specifically, how certain mutations in a gene can impede muscle cells' ability to fuse, and on top of that, why some people survive it and why others do not.

There is no human condition wherein you will be at peak form in multiple areas. Much like the idea of the generalist vs the specialist - your body can't be a specialist in all ways, and in the same vein, there is no diet that will be the "ultimate" diet that will help you achieve peak-ness in all areas. The discussion of lifespan vs health span is a great example of that, as well as the idea of growth and uncontrolled growth (cancer).
