In episode #174 we discussed Dr. Jose Areta's latest research, including:
How energy deficits influence muscle protein synthesis and quality
The role of mitochondrial proteins and their upregulation during energy restriction
Practical implications for timing and periodization of caloric deficits in training cycles
Hormonal signals and their interaction with muscle adaptation during energy deficits
Associate Professor Dr. José L. Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José’s work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.

In episode #171 we talked with the Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes about
How nutrient-dense food and recovery have kept him injury-free
Intuitive eating supporting performance and aging
Mental Mastery in Endurance
Named by TIME as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” Greek-American Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. He once ran 50 marathons, in all 50 US states, in 50 consecutive days. He’s run across the Sahara Desert and run a marathon to the South Pole. He’s run a 200-mile relay race solo, 10 times. An acclaimed endurance athlete and NY Times bestselling author, coach and speaker, he’s won the Badwater Ultramarathon, running 135 miles nonstop across Death Valley during summer, and has raced and competed on all seven continents, twice. Dean is an ESPN ESPY winner, a 3-time recipient of Competitor magazine's Endurance Athlete of the Year award and has served as a US Athlete Ambassador on three Sports Diplomacy envoys. He’s twice carried the Olympic Torch and is a recipient of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition Lifetime Achievement Award. Dean has been featured in TIME, Newsweek, The NY Times, Forbes, the LA Times, The Today Show, 60 Minutes, The Late Show with David Letterman, CBS News, CNN, ESPN, NPR, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the BBC, and now the Nutritional Revolution podcast. 
He remains most proud of his ongoing contributions of time and funding to programs aimed at getting kids outdoors and active. He has raised millions for charity and served on the Board of Girls on the Run, an international organization that helps young girls learn valuable life skills through training and completing a 5K.
