No matter how guilty it may make you feel.. always be sure you’re taking the time for yourself that you need to. It’s absolutely necessary. Don’t be your own worst enemy. #nutritionscience #nutrition #nutritioncoach #nutritioneducation

Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Peter Attia just set the record straight on protein recommendations. It's the best synopsis of "why you should hedge against more protein versus less" that I've heard. My recap 🧵👇

Strength training boosts endurance! 💪 Better neural drive, more Type IIA fibers, stiffer tendons = faster, stronger, longer. @FSUISSM #strength #endurance

This is an extraordinarily clear presentation of kinda revolutionary findings by @AKoutnik. Do we need carbs for high intensity exercise? Very, very little apparently. @ProfTimNoakes suggests elsewhere it’s the brain bonking you as a protective measure.

New from our @FSUISSM team! It’s not the 30-min window—what matters is hitting your protein daily. Consistency drives results. 💪🏽 #nutritionscience #nutritionresearch #nutrition #nutritionstudy #reels

Good research takes years, not headlines. Most studies aren’t “bad,” they’re misinterpreted. One study ≠ universal truth. Context, populations & variables matter. Real answers take time, but they’re worth it. #nutritionscience #nutritionresearch #nutrition #nutritionstudy

Inspired by a new paper on the history of back squats, here are 3 great examples of 2 major lessons: 1. Bad science communication 2. How unintentional biases shape confusion among 'experts' and thus - the community 3. Plus, some fascinating history of arguably the most maligned

A little clip here from my conversation with @DrAndyGalpin about research integrity and the grind to do great work. @FSUISSM @FSUResearch @fsuannescollege
@bigfatsurprise Who vets and approves these studies for publication? It seems careless to create a study that's vague without defined parameters, expectations and outcomes. @DrAndyGalpin had a discussion with @mikeormsbee recently, and one of the topics they covered was about having

For years, we thought recovery meant chugging protein right after training or losing all your gains. I preached it too. But research shows the “anabolic window” isn’t as small—or critical—as we believed. #performancenutrition #nutrition #science #fsuissm #protein

Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post-exercise recovery in well-trained cyclists @Cas_Fuchs (et al.,) is on a tear with great work lately https://t.co/e38zYZsxh5

A study of 70 elite athletes found EVERY one was deficient in at least 3 nutrients. Men missed ~46% of essentials, women ~35%. Biggest gaps: magnesium, zinc, folate, B-vitamins. Even “perfect” eaters fall short. Testing > guessing. 👀 #sportsnutrition @FSUISSM

First Ironman: perfect plan. Second Ironman: ~60% training… only 6 min slower. Lesson: You don’t need to be perfect. Consistency wins. #exercise #nutrition #sports #results
