We break down physiological shifts in red blood cell lifespan, glycation, thyroid signaling, hydration, and electrolytes, and why symptom-based assessment often matters more than reference ranges.Stephen is a UK-based coach, specialist in obesity and diabetes, and former private lab director with an honors degree in physiology and health sciences. After worsening health under conventional nutrition advice, he transitioned to low-carb and carnivore and has spent over a decade translating blood markers through a physiology-first lens. He writes daily science explainers and authored The Guide to Blood Tests in the Context of Keto, Carnivore, and Low Carb.We discuss the following:All about Stephen ThomasWhy A1C can rise on carnivoreRed blood cell lifespan and A1CPhysiology over reference range focusAdaptation vs. under-eating and thyroid dysfunctionWomen's early carnivore challengesStephen's role in lab interpretationHarm of fear-based healing messagesWhere to find Stephen ThomasEPISODE RESOURCESCarnivore group WebsiteSubstackGuide To Blood Tests bookEFH Complete Wellness PanelNutritionist's Guide to the Carnivore Diet_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 

On the show, we mention our Supporters Club a lot, and reference discussions of various sports science subjects that inspire and inform our own conversations. You can be part of that, by making a monthly pledge here, which gives you access to the best sports science discussions on the interwebs! This week's Spotlight opens in Melbourne, where brutal heat nearly derailed Jannik Sinner's title defence. The Italian was hobbled by cramps and looked down and out before the heat index policy triggered a delay, a roof closure, and some much-needed air con. That leads us into a deep dive on cramping: why it happens, what Sinner could be doing to address this weakness, and some of the less than credible methods tennis players are using to prevent them. We also unpack another Australian Open storyline — the request for players to remove Whoop devices — exploring both credible and dubious motives for such a ban.Carbohydrates are in the news again, though this time, it's not about how much athletes are consuming, but rather how little they actually need - 10g per hour. That, according to a review headed by Prof Tim Noakes, is all that is required to prevent fatigue during exercise. We break down the paper, question its scientific robustness, explore some of the gaping holes, and explain why it diverges so sharply from real-world practice, and even from Noakes' own previous work on fatigue and performance.A rapid-fire round sweeps through listener feedback on whether ChatGPT could ever replace a coach, the retesting of decade-old samples that's led to bans for seven athletes, more eye-catching performances from teenage phenoms, a pair of world records, and a winter Olympic controversy.And finally, we turn to Alex Honnold's jaw-dropping, rope-free ascent of Taipei 101 — a climb that lit up the internet. Where does it sit in the history of the sport, and what made it so utterly unmissable?LinksArticle on heat issues in MelbourneReaction to the Whoop ban Down UnderNoakes et al's review article on carbohydrate requirements during exerciseOne of many articles that suggest that muscle glycogen is also important for performance, this time not as part of failure, but rather regulation. Noakes was himself an author on this oneAnother article where Noakes correctly identifies the role of glycogen in the muscle as part of how performance is regulated and improvedWe mentioned the efforts of Dr James diNicolantonio to rebut some of the poor science of the low carb review. Here is one of many threads that offer counterpointsA good study from friends of the pod Louise Burke and Jaime Whitfield on what actually happens to performance on a low carb dietOne of a few systematic reviews on the low carb vs high carb nutrition models for exercise performanceAthletes test positive ten years after the 'crime'"I'm going to burn the whole of track and field down".

Your favorite snacks are filled with toxic seed oils and ingredients that are harming your health. What if you could enjoy delicious, crunchy chips made the right way, fried in healthy beef tallow, that actually taste better than the junk food versions?In episode 854 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Steven Rofrano, the founder of Masa Chips. Steven shares his incredible journey from being a software engineer at Facebook to launching a successful food brand from his parents' backyard. They discuss the problems with modern food processing, the dangers of seed oils, and the importance of quality control. Steven explains his business philosophy of creating snacks that are both truly healthy and incredibly tasty, returning to traditional preparation methods. This conversation explores the challenges of scaling a business, the differences between direct-to-consumer and retail models, and why using high-quality ingredients like tallow is crucial for both health and flavor.Ready to build a powerful physique while eating the foods you love?

We ordered extra-extra cheese before this deep-dive episode. The main topic took up most of the recording today, involving a new narrative review that argues for a low-carb approach for endurance athletes.The real-world performance benefits of carbs are clear for anyone who has traveled this path, but at the end of the day, who cares? It's just performance. The low-carb believers can get left behind and that's ok by us.The reason we are talking about this relates to health. The carb conversation is nuanced--it's not about taking in as many carbs as you can all the time, and their arguments point out legitimate discussions about how to balance fueling in training and life. But their arguments also infiltrate the broader discussion of nutrition, and anyone who works in this field sees what can happen on the other side.There is a boneyard of ruined careers from serious endurance athletes who have undershot carb intake. The negative mental and physical health outcomes from carb restriction take this out of the academic realm and into much more serious places. We love carbs because we love performance. But mostly we love carbs because we love people, and we want to see athletes be able to shine their lights as brightly as possible.Other topics on this episode: our approach to cross training, the incredible Beth McKenzie episode on the Freetrail podcast, Alex Honnold free soloing a skyscraper, a study tracking DEXA scan results with stress fracture outcomes, and we answer an important question from a listener about dealing with a tough health diagnosis.This one starts with a different tone as we grieve the terrible news from Minnesota. Thank you for being on this journey with us.We love you all!

We got our big juicy pumps for this amazing episode! We started by talking about a couple pieces of personal news, including a shockingly cool number 4 ranking in the Ultra Runner of the Year voting... and some tough health findings from an MRI. The newest shoe review is a medical boot. It's still better than most trail shoes.The big science discussion was on a pair of studies on advanced female runners, with both finding low carbohydrate intake on training days. One of the studies on elite athletes found that 94.3% had low energy availability! We broaden out the discussion into nutritional approaches generally. And David tries to broaden it out into a thinkpiece about the food pyramid. At a certain point, maybe your thinkpiece is so wrong that you eventually loop around and become right? Don't answer that.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: our approach to training and health with the foot, a study on using heat training to substitute for other types of training, what we'd spend with $200 a month, how we are making money off AI, the Burrito League, some quick thoughts on continuous lactate monitors, Shelby Houlihan and Molly Seidel setting records at trail races, Raya for trail and ultra runners, sleep and FKTs, blood tests and training for downhills in a flat place.We love you all!

Cravings feel powerful, frustrating, and often completely out of your control. But what if most cravings aren’t random at all? In this first episode of The Nutrition Couch for 2026, Leanne and Susie unpack what’s really driving cravings, why willpower is not the problem, and how simple changes to your day can make a huge difference. They also break down new research linking diet quality to better sleep, review a popular lower-calorie ice cream, and tackle a listener question on why low-carb wraps aren’t the health food they’re marketed to be. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why blood sugar dips are one of the biggest hidden drivers of sugar cravings How restricting carbs earlier in the day often backfires by 4pm The difference between true cravings and habit-based or emotional eating Why after-dinner cravings are often learned, not physiological How stress, fatigue, boredom and “reward eating” can disguise themselves as hunger A simple way to interrupt cravings without relying on willpower New research showing higher fruit, vegetable and whole-grain intake is linked to better sleep quality that same night Whether lower-calorie ice creams are worth it nutritionally Why low-carb wraps are more processed than many people realise, and what to choose instead Subscribe so you don’t miss a Wednesday episode, and send your listener questions or word of the year via Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of The Better Life with Dr Pinkston features Dr Pinkston and Ray Solano from PD Labs, focusing on how to navigate and survive the holidays—dubbed the "Super Bowl of Sugar" (Halloween to Valentine's Day)—without derailing your health goals. The discussion centers on research challenging restrictive dieting, suggesting that unrestricted eating of nutritious food, layered with non-digestible fiber (nuts, seeds, berries) to slow sugar absorption, can offer similar benefits to fasting without the negative effects. Key Takeaways: Mindful Holiday Strategy: The holidays are a time for balance and not gaining weight, rather than focusing intensely on losing it. The Problem with Restriction: Restrictive diets (like extreme keto or carnivore) can backfire psychologically and physically. Research suggests high protein without proper carbohydrates can negatively affect longevity. The "Eat Human" Approach: Focus on a common-sense approach: avoid processed foods, know your intolerances, and aim for a balance of protein, fat, and carbs (suggested ratio: 40% protein, 30% fat, 30% carb) in every meal. Breakfast is Key: Start the day with high protein (40 grams) to stabilize blood sugars, reducing cravings later. Avoid traditional high-carb breakfasts like instant oatmeal. Stay Hydrated & Stress-Free: Managing stress with simple supplements like Magnesium Glycinate and Theanine (or cortisol managers like Triquillata) is crucial, as stress often leads to poor eating choices. Next-Generation Health: Ray Solano introduces PD Labs' work on peptides (like the GLP-1 incretins) and their innovative two-year project to make these high-molecular-weight molecules available transdermally (non-injectable) by Christmas, transforming chronic disease prevention. The conversation emphasizes starting your health recovery journey now, not waiting for a "magical time" in January.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
