A recipe for a high protein, Cuban custard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cuban natilla is essentially a vanilla custard flavored with cinnamon and usually citrus peel, traditionally made with milk, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. And it works extremely well for a high-protein dessert.
Power, Speed, and Explosiveness: The Case for Olympic Lifts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode makes the case for why Olympic lifts belong in every serious athlete's training program, not just a weightlifter's. The discussion covers how movements like the clean and snatch build explosive power, rate of force development, and total-body coordination that carry over directly into sport performance. Whether you're training for speed, strength, or in-game athleticism, this episode breaks down why these lifts deserve a place in your programming.
What the Sprint Study Still Leaves Unanswered (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The research only involved a small group of young, healthy men, so the results may not apply the same way to women, older adults, or people with existing health issues. It measured quick changes in blood proteins right after exercise but did not track whether those shifts actually improve long-term health or lower disease risk. The links to better metabolic outcomes came from matching proteins to data from a separate large group of people, and the two workouts differed in length and style as wel
Beyond the BMI: Why Medicine Is Re-Measuring Risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Body Mass Index has governed healthcare for decades, but modern medicine is increasingly recognizing its critical blind spots. In this episode, we break down why clinical standards are shifting toward waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios to measure true metabolic risk. Learn why visceral fat, body geometry, and cardiometabolic health are changing the way doctors evaluate our bodies.
Barefoot Biomechanics: Unpacking Minimalist Footwear with Dr. Kris D'Aout (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, top biomechanics researcher Professor Kris D'Aout joins the show to break down the actual science behind minimalist footwear, foot muscle architecture, and running economy. We dive into how ditching traditional high-cushion trainers impacts ground reaction forces, arch strength, and injury risk patterns across different athletic populations. Whether you are looking to optimize force production or safely transition your footwear strategy, discover the evidence-based realities of
