I love that they're having this discussion and I don't think that they're idiots, but the red flags in the first study are just insanely loud. The paper makes it clear that causality is not even close to proven, and even says retrospective in the title, but the discussion starts right off with the clickbait about this being applied prospectively, which is just confusing for people who don't know the difference between an experiment and a AI generated regression
Gosh I love listening to you guys. No matter how bad my day- sports is my temple and workouts are therapy. You raise all this to another beautiful level - thank you folks
Entertaining and very informative.
I feel i can trust what these people say - its not just the latest fad but information driven by science and years of experience.
The best endurance podcast by far (IMHO).
Has a scientific vibe about it but the hosts aren’t able to distinguish what makes something science. One of the hosts is a naturopath, who constantly refers to herself as a doctor, apparently allowed in the USA. I didn’t realise until I listened to them interview another naturopath also a ‘doctor’
I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year now and really enjoy the topics. I don’t have a medical background but I find the physiology aspect fascinating and learn a thing or two on each episode - which is always a win! Helps me get through long days at the office and in the gym. I think the show is structured well. Always like hearing Connor and Rob’s tangents. Guests are great. Would like to hear from more athletes. Paul Larsen I believe has a good mix of medical pros and athletes i... more
