Dan Newmire is a professor at Texas A&M and has also competed as a successful bodybuilder, winning the superheavyweight class at 2012 NPC Junior USA Championships. Dan's research centers around the mechanisms behind hypertrophy and one of his specific areas of research is examining the utility of partial ranges of motion on hypertrophy compared to more conventional methods. He also is interested in the adaptations to resistance exercise and the effects of warm & cold immersion on recovery from resistance training. It is rare that a researcher such as Dan also has the same 'hardcore,' in-gym experience as many top bodybuilders. This gives him a unique perspective on what is useful for fat loss, muscle gain, and body composition. Don't miss this episode!

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. Brad is considered one of the most preeminent if not THE MOST preeminent researcher of muscle hypertrophy in the world. He is a professor at Lehman College and has published several popular books including "The MAX Muscle Plan" as well as "The Science and Development of Muscular Hypertrophy." We speak with him about all things muscle growth, including discussions on volume, intensity, and the mechanisms behind how muscle actually grows from training. Don't miss out on your chance to learn from the best!

In this episode, Layne interviews James Krieger, someone we consider to be at the forefront of evidence-based nutrition and training recommendations. He has a master's degree in nutrition and a second master's degree in exercise physiology. He has published research in journals such as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the Journal of Applied Physiology. He runs weightology.net and has his own research review (that we are subscribed to). He is also a professional day trader and co-founder of FitProFinancial, which specifically helps fitness pros manage their finances.

Layne and James go DEEP into the latest science on training for hypertrophy as well as fat loss. They discuss the role of volume and new concepts such as volume cycling. This episode is one of my (Layne) personal favorites and it actually made me adjust my training based on some of the ideas that were discussed. You definitely do not want to miss this one!

In this episode, we interview Dr. Jay Cholewa, professor of exercise science at the University of Lynchburg. We talk about Jay's abnormal route to becoming a professor and what led him to turn his life around. We also discuss the extensive history between Jay and Layne: how they met in the early 2000s on the bodybuilding.com forums as aspiring bodybuilders, how their paths diverged and then came back together. Of course, we discuss Dr. Cholewa's research, much of which focuses on supplements like Betaine. We think you will very much enjoy this episode and learn quite a bit during the process.

Dr. Mark Haub is currently a professor at Kansas State University. He has a Bachelors in Psychology from Fort Hays State University, as well as a Masters in Exercise Science. He also holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Kansas.

Dr. Haub has researched many interesting nutrition-related topics, such as sodium bicarbonate and sodium citrate in sports performance, as well as high-fat diets vs high-carbohydrate diets in endurance athletes. The list goes on.

For those of you that have been in the nutrition-evidence space for the past decade, you may recognize Dr. Haub from his 2010 claim to fame as the "Twinkie Diet Professor." This all came about during his teachings of energy balance at Kansas State University. Not only was Dr. Haub working a stressful job as a college professor, he was also a husband and father to a young toddler. At the time, he was the heaviest he had ever weighed in his life, so in an effort to lose weight, Dr. Haub undertook a 10-week weight loss diet to demonstrate to his students the concept of energy balance. To spice things up a little, in order to debunk the 2010 USA Nutrition Guidelines—which stated that all solid fats and refined carbohydrates were obesogenic—he included a range of processed foods high in refined sugars and saturated fats. Dr. Haub shares these findings with us today, along with a host of other interesting topics!

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Ethan Weiss. Dr. Weiss is a cardiologist at UCSF and recently made headlines for a large intermittent fasting study that he was involved in called the 'TREAT Study.' The study was unique in terms of the number of participants, duration, and number of biomarkers examined in a TRF (time-restricted feeding) vs. non-TRF study. Dr. Weiss' hypothesis was that the TRF group would see better results than the non-TRF group over the 12-week study. He talks about how he believed this due to his background in using TRF for himself to lose weight and when the results came out that TRF was NOT superior in the TREAT study, he was surprised. In fact, the study suggested there may have been some negatives with the TRF group that has made Dr. Weiss re-think his position with regard to TRF. We talk about the results of the study, the limitations, and his interpretation of the data. We also discuss how the media has taken some of the results completely out of context.

If you've been curious about TRF, this is an episode that will be sure to pique your curiosity.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Alan Levinovitz. Dr. Levinovitz is an associate professor of religious studies at James Madison University. His work looks into the relationship between religion, science, and literature. His best-selling book "Natural: How Faith in Nature's Goodness Leads to Harmful Fads, Unjust Laws, and Flawed Science" takes a deep dive into our obsession with what is 'natural' and questions the very fundamental understanding of what IS, in fact, natural. We discuss naturalism as it relates to nutritional fads, nutrition tribes, and the parallels between religion and nutrition tribalism.

This isn't our typical episode, but we think you will have a much better understanding of WHY people can descend into cognitive dissonance and the dangers of groupthink after listening.

What an amazing episode this is. This week we interview Hollywood actor, Ethan Suplee. You may recognize him from the popular TV series "My Name Is Earl," along with movies such as "American History X," "Remember the Titans," "Cold Mountain," and many more.

Not only do we discuss Ethan's career as an actor, but we also hear about his struggles with weight—where, at several points throughout his career, he reached a bodyweight of over 500lbs!

We talk about how Ethan's recent efforts enabled him to turn his life around, as well as the many strategies and tools he used to get to where he is today.
