    Ball State Alumni are elite.

    Love this podcast.

    I will say, it being labeled as weekly is a tease as it is much less frequent than that. However, the episodes are worth the wait.

  • Rich and dense if applied knowledge

    Dr Galpin has a gift for translating scientific information and research to the man on the street. I find his episode to be so rich and dense in practical knowledge that I have to listen an episode 2 or 3 times before moving on. Exceptional, truly

  • A True Expert

    Listening to Dr. Andy Galpin’s podcast is like getting an unfair advantage in the gym. . .for free. After listening to hundreds of exercise “experts” who ultimately disappointed, I finally found a real one. World Class information on exercise and exercise nutrition.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Get Faster (Acceleration, Deceleration, Agility & Strength) | Les Spellman
Q: How does a parent decide when a child should start speed training and what to look for?
Spellman generally favors structured speed training around ages 12 to 14 for boys and around 10 for girls, while emphasizing free play, varied sports, and avoiding excessive technical coaching.
How to Get Faster (Acceleration, Deceleration, Agility & Strength) | Les Spellman
Q: Can you actually make people faster?
Yes. Spellman says regular exposure to fast running is the starting point, with force production, coordination, and symmetry also contributing to speed development.
Testosterone Explained (Low T, Muscle Growth, Aging & TRT) | Dr. Ben House
Q: What do we know about the relationship between testosterone and exercise adaptations?
House says studies have not shown a relationship between total testosterone within the normal range and the amount of muscle gained from resistance training. He distinguishes this from supraphysiological testosterone use, for which research shows a dose-response relationship with muscle growth.
Testosterone Explained (Low T, Muscle Growth, Aging & TRT) | Dr. Ben House
Q: Why isn't free testosterone always measured?
House says free testosterone is difficult to measure accurately because it is present at a very low concentration. He recommends equilibrium dialysis as the gold-standard method and explains that clinical guidelines generally require two low fasting morning tests, alongside symptoms, before diagnosing low testosterone.
Dr. Michael Ormsbee: Food Timing, Nutrition & Supplements for Fat Loss, Muscle Growth & Recovery
Q: Tell me about the caloric recommendations for females in post-exercise recovery?
Based on research, there's no clear extra need for supplementation solely for females; however, they may benefit from standard nutritional recommendations during recovery.
