  • Great foundational episode

    She does a great job simplifying the basics and I love the re-frame of calling them foundations.

  • From extreme to…

    The Messy Middle was a mainstay as I moved away from black/white thinking. Lyss shares her knowledge in a fun way that aligns perfectly with my intention of having fun while challenging my body. I’m on the cusp of upgrading my Kinesiology Master’s degree thanks to her!

  • ❤️

    I’ve followed Lyss for several years now, even before she created a podcast platform and one thing that hasn’t changed is her commitment to science and how hard she works to make the information she learns digestible for the average listener. The things she talks about on her podcast are no different. She takes a no-nonsense, somewhat sassy (in all the best ways), scientifically backed approach to all the topics she discusses and I think she’s definitely worth a listen!

  • My go-to for nuance and easy application

    As a newer hybrid athlete I have a million questions about exercise and recovery and fueling. Lyss’s content, especially her long-form work like this podcast, is a perfect combo of practical tips and nerding out on science.

  • Really great content

    Lyss knows her stuff and you can tell. Love that she will explain physiological processes down at the molecular/biochemical and also give you the no-nonsense, actionable takeaways you can actually apply to your training.
