Podcasts about carbohydrates

Carbohydrates have always been part of the endurance equation—but how much, when, and which types remain hotly debated. In this listener-driven episode, we tackle those questions and more, exploring a new paradigm in performance fueling that's reshaping how athletes think about energy during exercise. Dr. Jamie Whitfield, Senior Lecturer at Australian Catholic University's Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research, joins us to break it all down.For years, endurance athletes were trained to conserve carbs by becoming better fat-burners—adapting diet, training, and supplements to spare glycogen. But that thinking is evolving. As Jamie explains, the focus now is on maximizing carbohydrate use. Why? Because carbs are a more oxygen-efficient fuel source than fat—providing more energy per unit of oxygen. That efficiency improvement is a performance advantage in itself—like a supershoe, but internal.We dig into how elite athletes are pushing 90 to 120 grams of carbs per hour, and what it takes to train the gut to handle it. Are there limits? What happens when intake exceeds demand? Where does the glucose go? Are there health risks? We also explore carb types and ratios, strategies for carrying fuel without excess weight, and how to tailor intake to your individual needs.Jamie brings clarity to the technical details, helping translate complexity into actionable insight. If you're fueling training or racing, this episode will reshape your approach to performance nutrition—and maybe your results too.Show notes and linksDiscourse is our VIP community, and it was questions from those listeners that inspired this interview.

SHOW NOTESWhat impact does surgery have on the body?Intentional trauma Physiological response Psychosocial impact StressWhen we think about surgery, it's essential to understand that it triggers a significant reaction in the body known as the 'stress response.' This response is a complex interplay of hormonal and metabolic changes directly linked to the degree of tissue damage during surgery. It can intensify if there are any complications after the operation. Let's break it down: The whole process starts when the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or HPA axis, kicks into gear. This leads to a surge in hormones like cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon and catecholamines. These hormones are important because they help the body cope with stress by boosting energy availability and adjusting other bodily functions.Ebb phase (0-48hrs)Increased catabolism of stored glycogen (glycogenolysis)Suppression of insulin secretion → transient hyperglycemiaIncreased catecholamines, cortisol, and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α)Flow phase (3-10 days)Hypermetabolism (increased BMR)Increased protein catabolism → muscle breakdown (to provide amino acids for tissue repair and immune function)Increased lipolysis (fat breakdown) for energySustained insulin resistance → continued hyperglycemiaEnhanced GNG Pro-inflammatory response → increased cytokines and acute-phase protein productionIn the initial stages after surgery, the body releases a wave of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines jumpstart the healing process by promoting inflammation, which is important for healing surgical wounds. However, to keep this inflammation from going overboard, the body soon follows up with anti-inflammatory cytokines.These inflammatory processes have widespread effects across the body. For example, they can influence how the hypothalamus regulates body temperature or how the liver produces certain proteins that help fight infection and aid in wound healing.But here's where it gets even more interesting: other hormones like glucagon, cortisol, and adrenaline also play a role in modulating these responses. They can affect everything from your blood sugar levels to how your cardiovascular system handles the stress.So, why is all this important? Well, by understanding and managing these responses effectively, we can significantly improve how patients recover from surgery. It's all about helping the body maintain balance during a time when it's incredibly vulnerableDisruption of Metabolic Homeostasis: Surgery often disrupts the body's normal metabolic balance, notably through insulin resistance, where cells fail to respond effectively to insulin, leading to 'diabetes of the injury.' Insulin Resistance and Hyperglycemia: Insulin resistance can cause high blood sugar levels, significantly increasing the risk of surgical complications and mortality. Post-surgery, the body may enter a catabolic state, breaking down muscle instead of fat, which impairs wound healing, weakens the immune system, and reduces muscle strength. Increased Risks for Vulnerable Groups: Elderly, diabetics, and cancer patients are particularly at risk due to their compromised metabolic and inflammatory states. These groups have less physiological reserve, leading to pronounced catabolic states and increased risk of severe post-operative complications. Impact on Recovery and Outcomes: The metabolic chaos from insulin resistance to protein loss not only delays recovery but also exacerbates risks of infection and other complications. Effective management of these changes is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and ensuring that patients thrive post-surgery.ERAS helps to mitigate these by Surgery isn't just about the physical repair or removal of tissue; it triggers a cascade of stress responses in the body that can complicate recovery. These include everything from the psychological impacts of anxiety and the physiological effects of fasting to direct tissue damage and the systemic reactions to it, such as fluid shifts and hormonal imbalances.Key Components of ERAS:Comprehensive Care: ERAS isn't just a single technique but a suite of practices designed to address every aspect of the patient's journey — before, during, and after surgery. This approach aims to minimise the stress responses by controlling pain, reducing fasting times, optimising fluid management, and promoting early mobility.Minimising Fasting: One traditional practice that ERAS revises significantly is the preoperative fasting rule. Old guidelines that required fasting from midnight before surgery are now replaced with more lenient, evidence-based practices that allow intake of clear fluids up to two hours and solids up to six hours before surgery. This change helps maintain normal blood glucose levels, reduces stress, and decreases the body's shift into a catabolic (muscle-degrading) state.Nutritional Optimisation: ERAS protocols emphasise the importance of not entering surgery in a depleted state. By allowing a carbohydrate-rich drink shortly before surgery, patients are better hydrated and less anxious, which in turn reduces insulin resistance and preserves muscle mass — critical factors in speeding up recovery post-surgery. Post-operatively, oral nutrition may be delayed by the medical team until bowel function returns, typically taking close to a week. This delay is stated to reduce postoperative complications such as abdominal distension and nausea/vomiting.For the first several days post surgery fluids of limited nutritional value such as water are provided to patient until tolerance is established leading to insufficient nutrition intake during this time increasing the risk of malnutrition. The ERAS protocol promotes early oral intake within 24 hours post surgery departing from traditional fasting practices. Research suggests that between 40-50% of surgical patients have some degree of malnutrition. Pre-operative malnutrition is an independent predictor of poor post-operative outcomes. Therefore addressing malnutrition is a key component of the ERAS protocol.Immune-Enhancing Diets: Post-surgery nutrition is just as crucial. ERAS encourages diets rich in nutrients that bolster the immune system and enhance wound healing. This includes omega-3 fatty acids, which help modulate the inflammatory response; arginine, which supports protein synthesis and tissue growth; glutamine, which is vital for cellular health and recovery; and nucleotides, which are essential for rapid cell division and immune function .Immuno-nutrition is a specialised medical nutrition therapy that has been shown to adjust the body's inflammatory response: It incorporates specific nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, arginine, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and nucleotides. It's typically recommended starting 5-7 days before surgery and continuing post-operatively for over 7 days or until oral intake meets at least 60% of the patient's nutritional requirements.How can we use this info to optimize surgical outcomes?Patient education Early nutrition pre and post surgery - Minimise fasting time What is ERAS? How does it differ from traditional care/practice?Introduced by Henrik Kehlet in 1997, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has revolutionised surgical practices by optimising perioperative care. A key aspect of ERAS is its interdisciplinary approach, involving healthcare professionals from various specialties to minimise surgical stress and facilitate recovery. What is malnutrition?Malnutrition, is defined as an involuntary reduction in body weight, muscle mass and physical capabilities, affects up to 65% of surgical patients and can worsen during hospital stays. Enhancing nutritional status and promoting functional nutrition therapy is essential, even forpatients without evident malnutrition, particularly when prolonged perioperative oral intake challenges arise. Addressing malnutrition is essential for preventing surgical complications, prolongedhospital stays and higher healthcare costs. What are the benefits of ERAS for the patient?It has been shown that the key physiological benefits include:-enhances the body's anabolic processes-promotes wound healing, which is critical for patient recovery.-Reduces the risk of nutritional depletion-Minimises insulin resistance, a common issue post-surgery, allowing for better blood sugar control and improved metabolic function.-Reduce protein catabolism-And lowers the risk of pressure injuries, which can develop due to extended immobility after surgery.What are the benefits of ERAS from a healthcare perspective? From a healthcare perspective, ERAS has been shown to-shorter length of hospital stay for patients,-Lower risk of ICU transfer rates-reduce readmission rates-And all of these improvements lead to lower healthcare costs, not just for the hospital but for the overall healthcare system, as fewer complications and shorter stays reduce the financial strain.Step 1: Screen & StrengthenIf you've lost any weight unintentionally in the lead up to surgery, or been eating poorly because of a reduced appetite, you may be at risk of malnutrition and it's really important to address this prior to surgery. Research suggests that between 40-50% of surgical patients have some degree of malnutrition. Pre-operative malnutrition is an independent predictor of poor post-operative outcomes. Addressing malnutrition is a key component of the ERAS protocol and why it's effective in improving surgical outcomes for patients.Book an appointment with a dietitian who can guide you on appropriate dietary changes to minimise muscle loss, build you up and optimise nutritional status and stores pre-op. A well-nourished body tolerates surgery better, heals faster, has a stronger immune system to fight infection, and experiences fewer complications.Step 2: Consider Immunonutrition If you're planned for major surgery, especially certain cancer and abdominal surgeries, consider the use of an immunonutrition supplement in the 5-7 days pre op. These are the supplements loaded with arginine, n3s, glutamine and nucleotides to support the immune system and reduce inflammatory responses, potentially leading to fewer infections and better recovery.Step 3: Build Your Strength & Energy Stores prior to surgery Carb load with food in the days leading up to surgery - think that big bowl of pasta a footy player would have the night before the grand final. ERAS protocols have significantly reduced or eliminated long periods of "nil by mouth" (NBM) before surgery.Ask your surgical team exactly when you need to stop eating solid food – it might be much later than you think, often around 6 hours before surgery for a light meal. For clear fluids, it could be as little as 2 hours before!We'll make the most of every second to prevent unnecessary dehydration, hunger, anxiety, and preserve your body's energyStep 4: The Pre-Surgery Carb Load using clear fluidsMany ERAS protocols include a special carbohydrate-rich drink taken a few hours before surgery. Your hospital may provide this, but if they don't, we can organise orders for you or point you in the right direction.  It's usually a clear, sweet drink. Think of it as topping off your fuel tank right before the 'race'."These have been shown to reduce post-operative insulin resistance (which can slow healing), help maintain muscle strength, can reduce nausea, and improve overall wellbeing. It basically tells your body it's in a 'fed' state, not a 'starvation' state, heading into surgery.This is best done with tailor made medical nutrition drinks as they come prepped with the correct doses of maltodextrin-polymer carbs and a lower osmolality than other solutions, which essentially means they gentler on your gut and better for gastric emptying so they don't linger in your gut during surgery. Always follow surgical instructions, but ideally we're aiming for 100 grams of carbohydrate the night before surgery and about 50 grams of carbohydrate in clear fluids approximately 2 hours before anesthesia. This might look like 4 x 200ml drinks the night before, and 2 the morning of surgery If you can't access these drinks, apple or cranberry juice are reasonable replacements.  Drop us an email or message or give us a call if you'd like advice on where to get pre-op and immunonutrition supplement drinks. Then we move on to post op and Step 5 which is aiming to eat early.  ERAS encourages starting to eat and drink as soon as it's safe after surgery – often within hours, not days!As soon as your team says it's okay, try sipping water, then progress to other clear fluids, and then light foods as tolerated. Even small, frequent amounts help. This helps to stimulates your gut to start working again, reducing the risk of ileus – a slow, sleepy bowel, provides energy for healing, and can help you feel more normal, faster.If you haven't been told you can eat or drink, keep asking the question! You are your best advocate! Another tip that can help here is step 6:  Chew GumIf your team allows it, start chewing sugar-free gum several times a day once you're able. It sounds simple, but it can be surprisingly helpful in mimicking eating even when you're not allowed to, and can stimulate your digestive system to return to usual function sooner and reduce the risk of ileus.Step 7 is to Nourish to Heal This is where we bring in our good friend protein to optimise tissue repair and recovery Include protein rich food at each meal, and chat to us if you're finding this difficult because there are plenty of hacks if you're not feeling up to chicken breast and steak! And finally step 8 is to Listen to Your BodyWhile ERAS encourages early eating, we always want you to be tuned in to your body's cues and speaking up to your medical team and us if something doesn't feel right. There are plenty of interventions that can be used to keep you comfortable while still optimising your nutrition to get the best outcomes from surgery. Weimann, A., Braga, M., Carli, F., Higashiguchi, T., Hübner, M., Klek, S., et al.

In this episode, we speak to elite ultrarunner and author Damian Hall. While most teens were experimenting with smoking and drinking, Damian was already running cross-country races. He shares how his journey began with a half marathon in his hometown of Bath, eventually leading him to some of the world's toughest ultramarathons, including the notorious Barkley Marathons.We explore why Damian believes ultrarunning is “easier” than it seems, why he prefers tea over coffee, and what makes the fifth loop of the Barkley so brutal. Insightful, inspiring, and refreshingly honest, this is a conversation every runner should hear.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

We'll also chat about the absurdity of athletes questioning their race plans like they're trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. If you've ever thought about how to balance fun with performance, this episode is for you. So grab your favorite gel (the kind that won't send you spiraling into a sugar crash), and let's get into some serious triathlon talk!Segments:[08:57]- Medical Mailbag: Can sports fuels lead to diabetes?[31:56]- Interview: Gerard and Jordy DonnellyLinks@trivelocoaching on Instagram Jordy and Gerard's Website Jordy and Gerard on YouTube

“Low” Carbohydrate Diets and Metabolic Health: What Does the Research Show?   Commercial support has been provided by Simply Good Foods. Dr. Jim Painter was sponsored by an unrestricted grant from Simply Good Foods to speak on the podcast. No products or brands are discussed or promoted. Lower carbohydrate, higher protein and higher fat dietary patterns have seen a resurgence in interest in both the research community and in popular culture in the past decade. This has been accompanied by a clearer understanding of who may benefit from dietary patterns that reduce carbohydrate and increase other macronutrients and the ways in which these approaches change human metabolism to facilitate weight loss and improve glycemic control. While often regarded as fad diets, there is a significant amount of clinical evidence that can be used to evaluate the potential upsides and downsides of these types of dietary approaches. This research can be leveraged to understand what dietary factors should be considered when trying to optimize lower carbohydrate diets and how other macronutrients need to be shifted in order to provide sufficient nutrition. It should be noted that there is a large body of evidence that can be used to help answer many of the outstanding questions related to carbohydrate reduction or restriction. Furthermore, this large body of clinical research has resulted in many high-quality meta-analyses that help give a clearer picture of the utility of such alternative dietary patterns, especially regarding improving glycemic control in those with type 2 diabetes. Tune into this episode with Dr. Jim Painter to learn about: ●       Research studies on low/lower carbohydrate diets and metabolic health ●       Research related to diabetes, prediabetes, inflammation ●       How “low carbohydrate” is defined in various research studies ●       Ketogenic diet research ●       Higher protein and fat intake related to lower carbohydrate diets ●       Popularity of higher protein diets ●       How the quality of carbohydrates, protein and fat may impact health ●       Intermittent fasting research ●       Insights on ketosis, autophagy ●       diabetes remission ●       the “best” diet(s) for diabetes ●       2025 Diabetes Standards of Care ●       If the Mediterranean diet can be considered low carb ●       Potential health benefits with or without weight loss ●       resources for health professionals and the public  Full shownotes, transcript and resources: https://soundbitesrd.com/286

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how the nervous system impacts fat loss and how certain behaviors and supplements can accelerate fat burning. I explain how non-exercise movements like fidgeting and shivering trigger adrenaline to boost fat metabolism. I also examine the impact of exercise intensity and fasted workouts on fat burning, and how supplements such as caffeine, GLP-1 and berberine can further support fat loss. These science-based tools go beyond traditional calorie counting to enhance metabolism and improve body composition. Huberman Lab Essentials are short episodes (approximately 30 minutes) focused on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes.

Episode Summary: When it comes to fat loss, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to carbohydrates. In this episode, we dive into how to personalize your carbohydrate intake based on key factors such as your baseline diet, body composition, activity level, and even your unique blood sugar response. By understanding how your body processes carbs, you can fine-tune your intake for sustainable fat loss and optimal energy levels. Before we get started, grab your copy of my new Fat Loss E-Book! Here's the link. And, head over to my new YouTube channel to subscribe and turn on notifications before the new Carb Series kicks off next week.  What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔ How to assess your baseline carbohydrate intake before making adjustments ✔ Why muscle mass and body fat percentage impact carb tolerance ✔ The role of activity level in determining your optimal carb intake ✔ How health goals (fat loss, performance, hormone balance) influence carb strategy ✔ Why food sensitivities and individual blood sugar responses matter ✔ Practical strategies for tracking and adjusting your carb intake Key Factors to Consider When Personalizing Carb Intake 1. Your Baseline – Where Are You Starting? Before making changes, assess your current carbohydrate intake. Track what you eat for a few days and consider factors like: Blood sugar response (using a glucometer or continuous glucose monitor) Insulin sensitivity (fasting glucose, HbA1c levels) Energy levels and hunger cues

You know that feeling when you scroll through fitness advice online and suddenly feel like you're doing everything wrong? One person says you have to chug a protein shake right after your workout, another says you must eat carbs before training or your workout is useless, and then there's that whole debate about whether you should eat less the day after going over your macros. It's a LOT. But today, we're breaking it all down and keeping it real. Because the truth is—meal timing isn't as rigid as social media makes it seem. In this episode, we're diving into three BIG questions I know so many of you have: What I discuss: You do not need to slam protein after your workout. It's about how much protein you eat daily, not about how much you eat after working out. You do not need to fuel before workouts if you're not hungry. Listen to your body and give it what it needs.  If you go over your macros, don't make it up for it the next day, just try to hit your macros tomorrow.  If you don't know what your macros should be, I got you, sister.

Would you believe me if I told you that we could end chronic disease in 10 weeks? Watch this fascinating interview with best-selling author Nina Teicholz, Ph.D., who has been researching the dietary guidelines for over 2 decades. SUBSCRIBE TO NINA'S SUBSTACK HERE: https://unsettledscience.substack.com...Please join me in welcoming Nina Teicholz! Nina explains that a low-carb ketogenic diet is the best way to support disease reversal. There are over 100 clinical trials supporting that type 2 diabetes can be reversed in as little as 10 weeks. Hypertension, cardiovascular risk factors, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and other chronic diseases can potentially also be reversed with dietary changes.The reversal rate of type 2 diabetes with the standard of care from doctors is 0.1%. In clinical trials with patients following a keto diet, the reversal rate is more than 50%! Insulin manufacturers and other drug companies primarily fund the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association, so they are subject to direct conflicts of interest. Doctors have been taught to recommend low-fat diets, and there are countless baseless claims that keto is dangerous. Dietary guidelines significantly influence most Americans. By law, all federal food programs are required to follow these guidelines. Health professionals also use them as the gold standard in nutrition. However, many conflicts of interest are involved in these guidelines, including ties to both Big Food and Big Pharma. Giving accurate dietary guidelines to the American public is the best way to combat chronic disease.To get into a healthy state of ketosis, you should eat eggs, dairy, meat, shellfish, vegetables, and low-sugar fruits. Carbohydrates trigger hunger. Without glucose, your body can access your fat stores for energy between meals.

Story at-a-glance A body without cellular energy is like a car without fuel. Providing your body with the right nutrition is essential to maintaining and replenishing these vital energy reserves Nutrition is foundational; whole-food carbohydrates, clean proteins and healthy fats support mitochondrial function and provide essential nutrients for cellular energy production Carbohydrates fuel mitochondrial energy production. Whole-food sources like ripe fruits and white rice provide glucose that supports your cellular metabolism without overwhelming metabolic pathways Micronutrients like magnesium, B vitamins and polyphenols enhance mitochondrial function and protect against destructive reactive oxygen species Avoid dietary components that sabotage your mitochondrial function, such as vegetable oils, refined sugars and ultraprocessed foods
