2025/12/10
In the past decade, we've gone from low carb to high carb. Are we now heading towards a new era of personalised carb?

Episode 101 - How do I manage endurance exercise, nutrition & Type 1 Diabetes? | Dr Sam Scott
2025/11/13
Juggling training, nutrition, and day-to-day life can be a challenge. But throw in the complexities of Type 1 Diabetes, and it’s a whole new ball game. In this special episode to coincide with World Diabetes Day, I'm joined by co-founder of Enhance-d and former head of research at Team Novo Nordisk, Sam Scott. Sam gives us a peek into the world of diabetes management for the endurance athlete. We’ll discuss what Type 1 diabetes actually is, how it’s managed, the impact of exercise, and the innovations in devices and data management that are making life a little easier to make this all work. Whether you’re an athlete with Type 1, a nutrition practitioner, or you’re just curious what it’s all about, there’ll be plenty in this episode for you.

Episode 100 - Can I change my gut microbiome, and will it help me as an athlete?
2025/10/29
The gut microbiome is a term that's thrown around a lot. But what does it actually mean? Is there a particular gut microbiome that's more common in athletes? And should athletes be trying to shape their microbiome to benefit their health or performance?

Episode 99 - How much sodium should I take before, during, and after exercise?
2025/10/19
There’s been a lack of clear guidelines around how much sodium to take before, during and after exercise, to optimise health and performance. That created a vacuum, which anyone with a vested interest was more than happy to fill with suggestions. But we’re now getting to the stage where we can make some more specific, quantifiable recommendations about sodium for endurance athletes, before, during and after exercise. I had the privilege of being invited to put these recommendations together, so in this episode, I’ll walk you through them.

Episode 98 - Can nutrition reduce my chances of getting sick?
2025/10/07
There seems to be two types of endurance athletes - those who are always getting sick when their training volume increases, and those who don’t. But why? In this episode we investigate the evidence around nutrition, the immune system, and illness in athletes, and come to a conclusion of what you can do to prevent getting sick during those hard training blocks, and bounce back quickly when illness does strike.

Episode 97 - Are omega-3’s important for athletic performance?
2025/09/10
Fish oil, or omega-3 supplements, are one of the most widely used supplement among the general population. But there's also been suggestions of specific benefits for athletes.
So what exactly are omega 3’s? What do they do in the body? What foods and supplements do they come from, and most importantly, do the benefits live up to the marketing hype when it comes to health and performance?

Episode 96 - How should I use the new TrainingPeaks carbohydrate and fat calorie metrics?
2025/08/15
TrainingPeaks just launched a new set of data fields that promise to give insights into carbohydrate and fat use during exercise - even predicted amounts for planned sessions if enough data is provided.
So where did this come from? What is it telling us? How should I use this information? And is it unique, or are there other ways to achieve the same thing?

Episode 95 - Is there an optimal drink mix composition?
2025/08/03
If you’ve ridden a bike or run more than an hour or so in your life, you’ve probably considered the composition of what you’re drinking during those efforts. But what actually makes a good sports drink? Is it taste, carbs, electrolytes, osmolality, colouring, or all of the above? And is there actually an optimal drink mix that we should be looking for? Or is that a well spun marketing myth?

Episode 94 - Do I need a multivitamin?
2025/07/04
Multivitamins. About half of endurance athletes use them. There’s often an assumption that if you’re doing a lot of training, then you need a multivitamin. Or at least you should take one just in case.
But is that actually true? Do runners, cyclists and triathletes actually need a multivitamin? And if so, how do you choose? And what should you look for?

Episode 93 - Can menthol improve my performance in the heat? | Dr Erica Gavel-Pinos
2025/06/19
We’ve all experienced that cool mint sensation from toothpaste, mouthwash, or mint flavoured foods before. So when you’re racing in a hot environment, can this cooling sensation change how hot you feel, or even help you perform better? And is there any downside to this? Or like a lot of things in science, is it maybe not that simple?

Episode 92 - Can I trust AI with my sports nutrition questions?
2025/05/30
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming many people's go-to for answers to their sports nutrition questions. It has a knack of taking your question, exactly as you asked it, and providing what seems like the perfectly relevant answer. But is AI really providing the answers you’re looking for? Is it telling the truth? And if not, how can you tell?

Episode 91 - Can I predict my sweat losses without actually measuring them? | Prof. Ollie Jay
2025/04/28
Imagine being able to predict what your sweat rate is going to be at any given running pace or power output, in different weather conditions, with reasonable accuracy. Well, now you can. In this episode Prof Ollie Jay (Thermal Ergonomic Laboratory, University of Sydney), one of the brains behind this new tool, joins us to discuss how it all came together, how accurate it is, and how to best use it.
Have you gone to plan your fluid needs for training or race day, but weren’t sure how much sweat you’re going to lose? Do you train in a cool environment for an event in a hot environment? Or you just don’t have the time to measure sweat losses in multiple training sessions to understand your needs? This is the podcast for you.
