ToddCast episode II: Sports nutrition has long been a hotbed of innovation. The first tubs of whey protein powders were originally used by body builders, but the conceit has diversified into plant proteins for anyone seeking a performance edge. Listen to this interview between senior editor Todd Runestad and sports nutrition innovator extraordinaire and president of Imaginutrition, Anthony Almada, as they discuss: How EAS turned on the pro sports world with creatine and other power boosters.  Immunity supplements may be the new multivitamin, but can they also find a home in the sports nutrition aisle? How the latest sports ingredient, beta-alanine, increases exercise capacity—but is also an antioxidant and can enhance immunity.

This was a podcast filmed on Zoom and adapated for audio listening. What is CBD? What kind of CBD is good? Are there alternatives to CBD? What should I know about CBD? These are just some of the questions covered in this short but deep series on trending topics in the pet world. Anthony is a nutritional and exercise biochemist with an impressive record of industry and academic accomplishments. During his 45 year career, he has earned 3 patents, collaborated on over 50 clinical trials and pioneered entirely new nutritional supplement categories – creatine and thermogenics among them. Along with chairing Front Of The Pack's Science Advisory Board, Anthony is also the founder and CEO of IMAGINutrition, a nutritional technology think tank focused on clinical research, due diligence, and product innovation. Dr Stephanie Wenban - I always knew I wanted to be a vet and after completing a DipHE in Bioveterinary Science at the University of the West of England I went on to graduate from Bristol University Vet School in 2016 with Distinction. Leaving the Somerset Hills behind, I moved to West London to work in busy vet clinics and hospitals across the City. After 3 years of working as a GP Vet treating hundreds of cats, dogs, rats, rabbits and hamsters I decided to move on to the next challenge. Joining a pet food start-up in 2019 as their in-house vet, I appeared in several newspapers, radio shows and magazines talking about dog health. During this time I also completed invaluable further study into Small Animal Clinical Nutrition, learning how food can complement health and stabilise disease. I left the start-up in January 2020 to set up Pet Wellness Expert and focus on my passion for proactive health. Alongside Pet Wellness Expert I consult as a veterinary advisor and sit on the Science Advisory Board of a US pet healthcare company, as well as being a doting dog-mum to my wonderful Maltipoo Eddie. I am a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and am delighted to have been a ‘Vet of the Year 2020' nominee.

After everyone answers fun questions in the culmination of the Quick Fire contest, two major topics get attention. First, David Barr - long a critic of overstated claims for pre-post-workout timing - makes some serious observations. Anthony Almada concurs, offering his experise and evidence from the literature as well. Then, after the break, the guys talk all things keto. Do fat-adapted athletes struggle with intense workouts? Are very low-carbohydrate diets only for those of a certain genetic disposition? Almada furthers the discussion with more insights from the literature. This is a fun and informative episode that dares to challenge convention.

Creatine Monohydrate is King, N.O. products are debunked,  Magnesium and Zinc Supplementation are Cleared Up,  Plant based Multivitamins are Hocus Pokus, and PED’s in CrossFit. Click here to Check out Anthony’s first show Small Talk Anthony Discusses his vendor experience at the 2015 CrossFit Games, the shoe wars between Reebok and Nike and how the increased TV coverage may be effecting live attendance. [8:35] There have been many different types of creatine to enter the market since EAS first introduced it to the sport supplement market.  Anthony lays out his recommendations.  As far as the research goes, creatine monohydrate is king. [15:45] Anthony provides some key advice for anyone taking supplements to find the products that work best.  The key is simply being a good consumer.  Simply ask the companies for the head to head independent research regarding their products.  The key is getting off the message boards, avoiding bro science and reading independent comparative research. [19:00] For folks adding creatine to their regime, dosage and timing are important.  Anthony clears up the difference between loading and maintenance phases and what his research has shown to be the best way to adminster creatine loading. [23:00] The key to effectively taking creatine monohydrate is dissolving it in hot water, doing so illuminates bloating and GI distress. [24:45] Anthony discusses why taking creatine as a pre workout is a complete waste of time. Creatine is not caffeine.  It takes days and time to work. [26:54] Anthony continues to discuss creatine and lays out the dosage and timing recommendations that his research has shown to be best.  To increase creatine transport into the muscle the key is taking it every 5-6 hours with either 75 grams of carbohydrate, or 50 grams of carbohydrate and 50 grams and protein. [31:00] Anthony discusses, actually debunks, N.O. products and their use in pre work outs.  According to Anthony, most of the N.O. products on the market utilize stimulants to mimic a pump, and he is not convinced any of these products do anything to increase muscle blood flow.  Anthony suggests that you go to your supplement store and ask for N.O. products that aren’t laced with stimulants – good luck getting results. [37:30] The best evidence to leverage the Nitric Oxide path is via beet root juice.  Neo elite is an interesting company developing products and have interesting data regarding beets and performance. [41:10] Danny asks what Anthony’s take is regarding Magnesium and Zinc. [49:16] Multivitamins are discussed.  According to Anthony they always need to be discussed in relation to the athlete’s diet. There is also no head to head independent research to show that plant based multivitamins are any better into cells than their synthetic counter parts. [57:34] VitargoS2, head to head against multi dextrose is the faster into muscles. [63:45] What are muscle biopsy studies and what are the complications. [67:25] Anthony discusses the use of PED’s in the CrossFit Games and Elite Performers in the CrossFit Community.  According to Anthony up to 40% of the Elite Athletes participating at the Games, at some point in their training year, had taken some form of PED.

There is a growing trend surrounding the prospect of becoming “Fat Adapted” by changing diet.  Join Richard Diaz and guests Anthony Almada MSc, FISSN and Michael Wardian Elite Ultra Endurance Runner as we discuss the pros and cons of a high fat diet. Many Ultra Runners have experimented with high fat diets due to the claims that by doing so will enhance fat burning and carbohydrate sparing potential. This about face in sports nutrition goes against the grain of traditional sports science.  Anthony Almada is an expert in the field of performance nutrition and Michael Wardian, is a world class Ultra Runner whose performance depends on proper refueling before and during competition.  We hope to shed some light on this hot topic of “Fat Adaptation”.

Proper feeding as a triathlete is critical to success.  Join us as Anthony Almada explains what to eat, before, during and after a triathlon to get the most out of your performance. This information also serves Marathon and Ultra MarathonRunners. Anthony received his MSc in nutritional/exercise biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and has been a co-investigator on over 90 clinical trials in nutrition. He is a co-author on over 25 peer-reviewed nutrition research studies and is often quoted as an industry expert (New York Times, Forbes, and Business Week).

An interview with Michael Wardian, Masters Marathon / Ultra-Marathon World Class Champion and Anthony Almada, an expert in the field of energy replacement during exercise. Join us as we unravel the secret of harnessing energy demands of an endurance champion. Everyone who trains or races beyond just a few hours is challenged by energy depletion, hitting the wall, or bonking.  No one knows this better than an Ultra Marathon Runner. Much less a Champion like Michael Wardian 5 time member of Team USA for the 100K World Championships and 3 time qualifier of the USA Olympic Trials with a personal record of 2:17:49.  Richard Diaz has invited these two professionals to share their knowledge on the topic of feeding and energy replacement during the long run.

Every runner fears hitting the wall as they reach the 20 mile mark in a marathon. They also fear gastric distress if they consume too much or too little energy on the course.  Listen as Richard Diaz and Vanessa Runs interview Anthony Almada, an expert in evidence based performance nutrition as he shares some exciting news of a product that has proven to pack energy back into the working muscles without the bloat commonly associated with typical sports drinks and gels and does it in a fraction of the time of other products on the market.
