All of the following is based on the studies I’m covering in this podcast: Want to live longer? Walk more. Want to boost your mood, energy, and mental acuity? Get extra sleep. Want to perform better in the gym? Take betaine. Want to retain your muscle while losing fat? Don’t follow the OMAD diet. Want to improve your agility and sports performance? Go with unilateral exercises over bilateral ones. This podcast is another installment in my Research Roundup series of episodes, where I give you concise and practical takeaways from studies that I think are interesting and that can help us gain muscle and strength faster, lose fat faster, perform better athletically, feel better, live longer, or get and stay healthier. There is a ton of scientific research that gets published every year, and even if you narrow your focus to fitness research, it would still take several lifetimes to unravel the hairball of studies on nutrition, training, supplementation, and related fields. That's why my team and I put a lot of time into reviewing, dissecting, and describing scientific studies in articles, podcasts, and books. Oh and if you like this type of episode, let me know.
