The APX Physiology Podcast

I go through how I design my clients nutritional programmes and how I calculate their macronutrients and calories. I also talk about what is the most important thing to pay attention to and what not focus on when looking to get lean.

Mad scientist David O'Brien takes me through everything you need to know about blood work and health markers. David explains how you must treat the body in a holistic way and consider all aspects of physiology such as the endocrine system, digestive health and stress management.

Reactive Training Systems creator Mike Tuchscherer talks me through his concept of auto regulation. This is a system by which you judge what weight to lift by perceived exertion and not what you have to do on the day. This innovative method helps prevent injury, burn out and allows for a more accommodating training approach.

Strong First director Brett Jones take me through the fundamentals of kettlebell training and why it is so effective. We also discuss movement and screening patterns and how to optimise technique when lifting

Libby and I discuss the prevalence of female influences in the fitness industry. We chat about whether women are taken seriously or whether they are overly sexualised through social media. We also delve in to common mistakes women make when training and how their hormones impact their diet and fitness regime.

I chat to Stephen about how he became a world class powerlifter as well as social media phenomenon. He gives me an insight in to how he prepared his mindset for success, what he thinks of the world and how he deals with bouts of anxiety.

Everything you need to know about intra-workout nutrition. What to take, why to take it and how much. Scott explains what type of protein is needed during training and the mechanisms behind muscle protein synthesis. He also tells me the difference in carb powder choices and why different sources are needed for different people.

I chat to Paul about Ketosis and Ketone supplementation. He takes me through the mechanisms and why it can be so effective. Paul and I also talk about anxiety and depression and how it impacts all of us, how to deal with it and what it means to be masculine.

Calum talks me through how to use biofeedback to enhance recovery for maximum muscle growth. We discuss HRV, monitoring blood glucose levels and sleep hygiene.

Jake is one of the most knowledgeable coaches I've ever worked with. In this episode, he got to ask one of his mentors everything he wanted to know about biofeedback, health markers and the endocrine system. If you love biochemistry, this is one for you.
