In episode #170 we spoke with researcher Dr. David Church about:
The crucial role of muscle protein synthesis in endurance athletes
The role of essential amino acids on muscle growth and recovery
The impact of sleep deprivation on muscle recovery and performance.
Dr. David Church, the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging & Longevity at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Medicine. Dr. Church obtained his bachelor’s degree in exercise science and biochemistry from DePauw University where he played football and baseball. He was an athletic performance intern at Baylor University where he studied exercise and nutritional biochemistry. He obtained his PhD from the University of Central Florida with a focus on enhancing human performance through exercise and nutrition and completed his post-doctoral fellowship in stable-isotope tracer methodology under the mentorship of Drs. Robert R. Wolfe and Arny Ferrando. He has led multiple trials investigating energy restriction in healthy and clinical populations including two active trials on individuals prescribed GLP-1RA’s. He has been recognized for his work with the Nutrition Research Achievement Award from the National Strength and Conditioning Society, the Vernon Young International Award for Amino Acid Research from the American Society for Nutrition, and a Fellow of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

In episode #169 we chatted with cyclist and coach Brenton Jones about
The shift in bike nutrition from basic carb intake to more precise nutrient timing and measurement.
Pre-race meals, timing and individual needs
Supplements like beta-alanine and sodium bicarbonate
The importance of variety  to adapt to different environments
Brenton Jones is a former pro cyclist with a passion for helping others discover the joy, freedom, and strength that comes from time spent on two wheels. His career started across multiple track, road and mountain bike, but progressed further on the mountain bike, representing Australia in the 2009 World Junior MTB Championships and competing overseas in a number of World Cup events the same year. He has a number of UCI victories and podium places, and raced as a pro road cyclist in Europe, across Asia and the UK. He won an Australian Criterium National Championship in 2019 and another 4 podium finishes in the event over his career. He also was able to line up at the start of the of Paris-Roubaix in 2018 and 2019.
Brenton now works for AusCycling as the Development Academy Manager, where he aims to strengthen the pathway for emerging talents on both the road and track and helps to facilitate the AusCycling Development Academy programs around the country. Each year Brenton leads and mentors an U17 Australian Development Academy Team who travels to New Zealand to compete, learn and develop. It is a great way for Brenton to pass on his advice and help
Before working in the Development Academy space at AusCycling, Brenton helped to design and create the AusBike program, AusCycling’s Learn to Ride program which helps to teach children 5-12yrs how to ride a bike safely.

In episode #168 we talked with Dr. Steven O'Bryan about
Age and sex hormone impacts on female neuromuscular function and performance
How muscle contractions and force can change over time
Postmenopausal hormonal changes and muscle strength and contractility
Dr Steven O’Bryan is an internationally recognised neuromuscular physiologist whose research explores how sex-specific ageing, age-related disease, acute exercise, and long-term training adaptations influence the integration between the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle. His work aims to develop innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance physical function and performance across the lifespan. Dr O’Bryan is an expert in a range of advanced neurophysiological techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and assessments of skeletal muscle force and power. His research bridges mechanistic physiology with real-world applications in clinical, athletic, and ageing populations.

To close out 2025, we are revisiting our top podcast episodes of 2025, including this one discussing creatine and mental health with creatine researcher, Dr. Riccardo De Giorgi.
We spoke with Dr. Riccardo De Giorgi about:
His published study, "Efficacy and safety profile of oral creatine monohydrate in add-on to cognitive-behavioural monohydrate in depression: An 8-week pilot, double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled feasibility and exploratory, placebo-controlled feasibility and exploratory trial in an under-resourced area"
Where he'd like to see additional research 
Dr Riccardo De Giorgi is Clinical Lecturer at the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry, and ST6 at Health Education England-Thames Valley, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. He is interested in neuropsychopharmacology and evidence-based treatment of mental illness, especially mood disorders. He works on evidence synthesis, epidemiological, and experimental medicine studies to investigate repurposing opportunities for drugs with immuno-metabolic activity (e.g., statins, GLP1-RAs) in psychiatric disorders.

To close out 2025, we are replaying a couple of our most popular episodes, starting with our conversation with Kilian Korth, ultrarunner and expert in the 200-mile distance, who set the record for the Triple Crown of 200s in 2025.
Kilian Korth lives and trains in Western Colorado, spending time traversing mountain ridges and desert canyons alike. He is an ultra runner and full time coach, focusing on the 200 mile distance and other multi-day efforts. This weekend he became the Moab 240 champion AND Triple Crown Winner, setting a new record after winning the 2025 Bigfoot 200 and Tahoe 200. We chatted with Kilian about some interesting nutrition and mindset strategies he uses, as well as achieving this monumental goal. Other notable running achievements include:
1st place, DC Peaks 50 Mile, 2022
1st place, Mogollon Monster 100, 2024
1st place, Red Rock Canyon 100K, 2024 
2nd place, Bigfoot 200, 2023
Ultimately he wants to evolve and strive toward longer and longer distances, eyeing some of the notable long trail FKTs in the United States and elsewhere, like the Colorado Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Appalachian trails.
