In this episode, I’m joined by Matt Carpenter – a sports scientist and physiologist with a deep understanding of endurance performance and human metabolism.

We dive into:

• The truth about ketogenic and low-carb diets

• Why mitochondria matter more than you think

• Lactate, VO2 max, and the science behind real performance gains

• How altitude, heat, and different training types shape adaptation

• The challenge of making science simple — and accurate — in a world of social media noise

• How to interpret research (and call out bro-podcast bullshit)

If you have any questions or topics you want me to talk about, feel free to shoot me a message.
Your support means a lot to me - pls like, comment & share this one - more people tuning in means I can spend more capacity on this work

Andi
