Iron Radio: Do Supplements Beat Food for Vitamin Status? Wearable Food-Tracking Glasses + HDL, Exercise & Depression On Iron Radio, hosts Dr. Lonnie Lowery, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Coach Phil Stevens discuss Nelson's Flex Diet Certification and how supplementation topics are integrated due to time constraints, plus his creatine research PDF. They review a new NHANES-based paper (Sternberg et al., May 2026) suggesting supplement use explains more variability in vitamin biomarkers (R² ~3–21%) than reported dietary intake (~0.8–8.8%), while noting limitations like recall bias, low explained variance, and imperfect biomarkers. They then examine a 2021 AIM2 wearable device that detects eating episodes and captures food images with ~83% accuracy, debating research benefits versus privacy and data-broker concerns. Finally, they critique a 2026 cross-sectional study linking physical activity, HDL cholesterol, and lower depression odds, arguing the effect is associative and likely non-causal, and expand into broader concerns about interpreting lipids in athletic populations and medical risk models. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:05 Flex Diet Cert and Supplements 03:23 Brevity in Science Talks 05:34 Talk Tactics and Backup Slides 08:22 Supplements vs Food Biomarkers 14:04 Vitamin D and Biomarker Limits 15:21 Iron Radio Feed Update 16:32 Newsletter and Book Plug 18:21 Wearable Food Tracking Glasses 21:00 Privacy and Data Broker Fears 23:21 VR Ads and Escape 23:53 Food Illusions and Conditioning 24:27 Research Uses vs Privacy 26:20 Testing Dietary Recall Accuracy 27:39 HDL Exercise and Depression Study 30:29 Is HDL Really Causal 33:21 Selling Results in Titles 35:02 HDL Drugs and High HDL Debate 37:08 Statins Risk Models and Exercise 40:15 Athlete Labs and Wrap Up Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

When Should You Compete Again? Timing Meets, Momentum, and Realistic Goals in Strength & Physique Sports In this Iron Radio episode, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss how athletes decide what to do next after a meet or show and when to compete again. Phil explains how competition frequency often shifts from many meets per year early on to fewer events as lifters get stronger, older, and need more time to recover and make meaningful progress, sometimes using smaller meets as non-max “training day” run-throughs for clients. Mike describes prioritizing goals to avoid competitions that distract from main objectives, and notes the added challenges in physique sports where frequent shows can create a stressful 6–12 week “gray area” and lead to issues like water retention and inflammation, especially for natural athletes. They emphasize realistic expectations, honest coaching, and the value of outside perspective for planning and psychology. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 01:18 When to Compete Again 02:07 Phil on Meet Frequency 03:51 Clients and Progress Planning 06:13 Warmup Meets Strategy 07:49 Powerlifting vs Physique Peaks 08:50 Mike on Priorities and Goals 10:51 Physique Sports Gray Zone 16:40 Iron Radio Feed Update 17:52 Mike Nelson Newsletter 18:30 New Supplement Book 19:39 Levrone Transformation Talk 20:16 Setting Realistic PR Goals 21:26 Getting Athletes To Eat 24:03 Dreams Versus Reality 24:33 Choosing Your Strengths 27:50 Managing Warrior Mode 30:41 Why Coaches Matter 32:35 Wrap Up And Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Iron Radio: Why Lifters Need Variety, Play, and “Accidental Exercise” (for Longevity & Brain Health) In this Iron Radio episode, Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss why strength athletes should include variety and recreational movement beyond specialized lifting, especially with aging. Phil cites evidence that most pro athletes were multi-sport as kids and argues that changing activities and training emphases can reduce injury, burnout, and loss of explosiveness. Mike explains the neurological benefits of movement in different planes and chaotic environments (eyes, vestibular system, proprioception), shares the GOAT drill as a warm-up, and suggests options like skateboarding, surfing, tennis, pickleball, juggling, and kettlebell juggling. The hosts emphasize “play,” hiking on real trails, and keeping at least minimal aerobic work so the gap between doing nothing and something doesn't widen, while also cautioning older trainees to restart old skills at low intensity to protect tissues. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 01:11 Why Variety Matters 03:56 Purposeful Play Training 05:44 Neuro Coordination Drills 09:31 Show Updates and Feeds 10:42 Newsletter and Book Plug 12:29 Aging Injury Proofing 17:09 Learning New Skills 19:35 Start Slow Stay Safe 21:09 Sprinting Risks and Tissue 23:28 Rebuilding Skills Slowly 24:10 Hiking for Real Movement 25:34 Ground Work and Aging 27:07 Sports as Cardio 28:09 Accidental Exercise Mindset 29:38 Playful Training Tools 31:15 Avoiding Specialization Traps 32:17 Offseason and Aerobic Base 34:06 Minimum Effective Conditioning 37:13 Juggling Desk Breaks 38:22 Flow Trainers and Hacky Sack 39:44 Wrap Up and Disclaimers Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Iron Radio: When More Training Isn't Better—Recovery, Identity, and Avoiding Burnout Hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss athletes who struggle to take breaks, emphasizing that high-level performers typically have a “release valve” and can relax outside their sport. They explain how training needs change from novice to advanced stages as heavier loads create greater recovery demands, making “less is more,” and note that aging and life stress can further reduce recovery capacity. The conversation covers signs of under-recovery (stale performance, persistently high RPE, reduced motivation, and appetite changes), the risks of overtraining, and strategies like reducing training frequency, coaching instead of doing more, adding hobbies and mindful recreation, proactive recovery practices, and using wearable data cautiously. They also highlight identity issues tied to the gym and the value of a third-party coach for perspective and accountability. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio 01:09 Why Athletes Need Breaks 03:05 When More Stops Working 05:10 Tracking Then Letting Go 06:18 Life Stress and Recovery 08:06 Recovery Tools and Hobbies 11:17 Identity Beyond the Gym 13:50 Mindful Play and Metrics 16:01 Show Updates and Links 19:32 Motivation as a Warning Sign 23:27 Discipline Versus Burnout 30:25 Capacity Building Long Term 32:47 Different Types of Recovery 33:40 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Caffeine vs Paraxanthine, Sleep Quality, and Common Lifter Maladies (Injuries, Blood Work, Apnea, Aging) On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery (with Dr. Mike Nelson traveling) discuss a 2026 JISSN study on caffeine and its main metabolite paraxanthine in 14 male university rowers, finding the caffeine+paraxanthine combo improved 2,000m rowing performance versus placebo while caffeine-containing conditions worsened subjective sleep; they note key limitations including small sample size, subjective sleep measures, and unequal dosing (200 mg caffeine + 200 mg paraxanthine vs 200 mg of either alone). They then shift to “lifter maladies,” focusing on orthopedic issues (Phil's MCL tear and training through injury), blood work and cholesterol swings, and the role of athlete compliance and monitoring versus gen pop. They also cover sleep apnea prevalence in large lifters, mental standards and training psychology, aging-related risks (ASCVD, prostate enlargement), and compensatory benefits like higher bone density and pain tolerance. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:59 Paraxanthine vs Caffeine Study 03:18 Study Results and Dose Debate 07:05 Training Timing and Stimulants 07:56 Network Updates and Where to Listen 09:07 Mike Nelson Newsletter Plug 09:45 Lonnie Lowery Book Announcement 10:54 Lifters Maladies Kickoff 11:11 Injuries and Orthopedic Wear 15:16 Aging Athletes and Family Limits 16:43 Blood Work and Health Monitoring 21:15 Mindset and Body Image Standards 23:17 Low Frequency Training 24:42 Sleep Apnea In Lifters 29:02 Exercise Risk Offsets 32:58 Food Health Tradeoffs 35:36 Pain Tolerance Legacy 38:28 Age Chronic Conditions 40:37 Mental Grit Closing 41:42 Sign Off Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Iron Radio: Evaluating Online Health Claims, Peer Review, and “Healthy” Protein Debates Iron Radio hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Lonnie Lowery, and Dr. Mike T. Nelson discuss a Nature-referenced April 2026 report claiming over two thirds of people across 16 countries believe at least one false or unproven health claim, while noting the survey itself was not peer reviewed and criticizing vague terms like “unproven” and “healthy.” They highlight charged examples such as raw milk and the claim that animal protein is healthier than plant protein, arguing endpoints and context (for whom, compared to what) matter and that meta-analyses depend on study quality. The hosts describe how they assess evidence online, emphasizing skepticism of social media, seeking primary research, and questioning authority without politicizing science, while warning about AI repeating secondary claims. They also share Iron Radio feed updates and mention Nelson's newsletter and Lowery's supplements book. 00:00 Show intro and hosts 01:07 Lonnie background and topic setup 02:19 Nature survey on health myths 05:00 Raw milk and loaded language 05:58 Animal vs plant protein debate 08:31 Questioning science and meta-analyses 11:23 Phil on vetting online claims 13:39 Network updates and promos 16:37 Mike on evidence and AI pitfalls 20:16 Controls and compared-to-what 21:10 Finding Topics and Studies 22:29 Test It Yourself First 23:30 Questioning TRT and Root Causes 24:07 Lifestyle Before Prescriptions 26:48 It Depends and Study Methods 27:22 Raw Milk Risk and Sourcing 30:30 Keep Politics Out of Science 33:04 Science Skepticism and Gurus 35:25 AI Literature Reviews and Slop 37:30 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Iron Radio: Phil's Powerlifting Meet Recap—Junior Records, State Records, and Lessons Learned On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery recap Phil's recent powerlifting meet involving his family and athletes. Phil describes weigh-ins, weight cuts, and meet outcomes for his group. His 10-year-old son Odin set new national records but had attempts overturned for small rule violations. His daughter Olivia, coming off wrestling with little meet-specific training, hit all lifts and set a state deadlift record at 365 and then 375 on a fourth record attempt. Lifter Cooper set a state squat record but bombed on bench due to command/technique issues. 15-year-old Max set a state bench record and posted strong squat and deadlift numbers. Phil's stepson Nick totaled 1600 with big PRs, training partner Austin went 9-for-9 and set state records, and Phil competed despite knee pain from a tendon issue/Baker's cyst, managing a 600 squat and a 600 deadlift after a disputed call, while noting bench limitations from triceps/elbow lockout issues. The episode also covers judging strictness for records vs kids, minimal youth gear rules, upcoming meets (July Midwest Junior Championship leading toward higher-level events), and Phil's plan to shift toward Highland Games while rehabbing and potentially returning to another meet later. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 01:32 Meet Day Setup and Weigh Ins 03:32 Odin Sets Records 06:12 Olivia Surprise PRs 08:29 Cooper Bomb Out Lessons 09:36 Max State Record Bench 10:25 Iron Radio Feed Updates 11:36 Newsletter and Book Plug 13:23 Nick Army to Powerlifting 16:10 Phil Knee Injury and Squat Attempts 21:00 Beltless Deadlift Choice 22:05 Red Light Controversy 22:37 Angry Pull at 600 23:33 Meet Vibes and Big Guys 24:46 Knee Update After Meet 25:38 Kids Gear Basics 27:43 Judging Kids and Records 32:11 Next Steps and Highland Games 34:10 Beltless Seven Hundred Plan 38:51 Closing and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
AI, Coaching, and Accountability: What Fitness Pros Must Know (with Michelle Blakely) | Iron Radio On this special Iron Radio episode, Dr. Lonnie Lowery hosts fitness professional and AI expert Michelle Blakely, an NSCA-CPT and former USA Weightlifting sports performance coach who recently began a Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer program at the University of Chicago Booth. They discuss how AI is already impacting coaching, programming, nutrition planning, and education, emphasizing that while AI can rapidly generate meal plans and training drafts, coaches remain vital for accountability, community, and human connection. Blakely advises using AI as a drafting and efficiency tool with a human-in-the-loop to review errors and hallucinations, recommends moving from free to paid AI models for privacy and tracking team use, and argues practitioners must “radically accept” rapid exponential change to avoid a near-term divide between AI-literate and AI-illiterate professionals. The episode also includes updates on Iron Radio's new distribution channels and related resources. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio 00:36 Meet Michelle Blakely 02:09 AI Anxiety to Action 03:27 AI in Education and Coaching 06:03 Accountability Beats Algorithms 10:38 Paid Tools and Privacy 13:57 Governance and Human Oversight 15:24 Show Updates and Resources 18:42 Will AI Replace Humans 23:38 Exponential Change and Adaptation 27:45 Apps vs Real Community 33:23 Wrap Up and Contact Info 35:17 Disclaimer and Sign Off Michelle Blakely - Here is Michelle Blakely's link to jump on a complimentary 15-minute call to discuss any AI questions as offered in the show: https://meetings.hubspot.com/info2033?uuid=64509963-36cf-4737-bd4c-516b5b00b210 Here is the link to the "48 hours of no AI" article from the New York Times Michelle referenced: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/style/48-hours-without-ai.html PLEASE NOTE: Models are changing rapidly, and new iterations are launching often.

Iron Radio: Top 3 Reasons to Compete in Strength & Physique Sports Hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss their top three reasons to compete in strength and physique sports: competition provides direction and purpose that sharpens training and nutrition through a clear timeline and accountability; it forces honesty and adherence to strict standards under rules, exposing true performance and differentiating meet PRs from gym PRs; and it ends “someday” thinking by offering a tangible “receipt” of achievement via judged results and public performance. Lonnie adds that competing is also a courage test—overcoming fear and being evaluated in public—while both note the importance of using competition anxiety productively and focusing on personal progress. They also emphasize the value of team support and leading by example, especially when coaching and training with others, and encourage listeners to try competing rather than waiting for perfect conditions. 00:00 Iron Radio Intro 00:42 Leg Press Banter 01:20 Why Compete Today 02:01 Reason One Purpose 06:27 Reason Two Honest Rules 09:36 Reason One Courage Test 11:16 Using Fear on Stage 13:09 Crowd Wants You Win 14:00 Stop Waiting Sign Up 14:24 Meet Day Receipts 16:01 Iron Radio Updates 17:11 Newsletter And New Book 18:59 Compete For Yourself 21:58 Chasing Real Greatness 24:50 Team Effort And Coaching 26:51 Final Push To Compete 29:14 Disclaimer And Wrap Up Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Iron Radio: AI's Impact on Coaching & Peer Review, Urolithin A in Sports Nutrition, and Cold Water Immersion Updates On Iron Radio, hosts Dr. Lonnie Lowery and Dr. Mike T. Nelson discuss how AI may speed content distribution, assist with business tasks, and potentially replace some lower-level coaches while still lacking context for peer review and research interpretation, raising concerns about regulation, healthcare profit motives, and data-center resource demands. They revisit urolithin A (a gut microbiota–derived metabolite linked to mitochondrial effects), referencing a 2025 Frontiers in Nutrition paper and Mike's personal and client experiences, noting modest perceived recovery/HRV benefits, high cost, and possible responder differences due to gut conversion. Mike also summarizes a broad review on cold exposure and metabolism across organ systems, highlighting mixed recovery data, evidence that immediate post-hypertrophy cold-water immersion can reduce muscle protein synthesis via reduced blood flow, lack of clear anti-inflammatory marker changes, and practical guidance based on season, logistics, and athlete preference. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio 01:13 Mike's Vegas Mastermind 01:30 AI for Content Creation 03:18 AI Limits and Assumptions 03:57 Peer Review and Academia 05:42 Jobs at Risk in Healthcare 10:23 AI in Coaching and Diets 13:10 Regulation and Data Centers 15:24 AGI Race and Safety 17:36 Urolithin A Research Overview 20:49 Mike's Experience with UA 22:33 Gut Conversion Variability 22:58 Iron Radio Feed Update 24:10 Free Daily Newsletter 24:48 New Supplements Book 25:57 Postbiotics and Skepticism 28:04 Safety First Testing 29:00 Cold Exposure Review 31:06 Hypertrophy Tradeoffs 35:31 In Season Ice Baths 40:03 Measuring Recovery Reality 43:15 Whole Body Effects 45:51 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Iron Radio: Protein Labeling, Plant Proteins, and Arnold Classic Highlights On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss a recent Food and Nutrition Policy (Feb 2026) proposal to eliminate in vivo protein digestibility requirements (PDCAAS) for protein content claims in North America, arguing it would favor plant proteins and could mislead consumers by focusing on grams per serving rather than usable amino acids. They debate implications for athletes, older adults, and the general public, raise concerns about industry-driven label changes, and note how protein blends and undisclosed ratios could be used for profit. The episode also includes show updates (new distribution via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, newsletter and book mentions) and a brief recap of Arnold event results, prize money disparities, expo changes over time, and how strongman deadlift numbers have escalated. 00:00 Iron Radio Introductions 00:55 Vegas Trip Chatter 01:40 Protein Labeling News 02:59 PDCAAS vs DIAAS Explained 04:30 Plant Proteins and Policy Push 09:57 Athletes vs Gen Pop Impact 11:59 Confusion and Digestibility Debate 15:33 Industry Motives and Sponsorship 17:03 Protein Blends and RTD Cutting 19:18 Novel Proteins and Vegan Examples 20:38 Protein Priorities Debate 21:41 Plant Based Politics 22:03 Iron Radio Network Update 23:14 Mike Nelson Newsletter Plug 23:52 New Supplements Book 25:00 Arnold Winners and Payouts 27:37 Expo Changes Since COVID 31:09 Strongman Deadlift Explosion 33:43 Media Pass Ideas and Wrap 35:03 Final Disclaimer and Outro Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
RPE in Strength Training: Why Beginners Misuse It (and How to Calibrate It) On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Lonnie Lowery and Dr. Mike T. Nelson discuss rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and why it can be misapplied in strength training. They define RPE as a subjective intensity scale (including the Borg 6–20 scale) and contrast it with objective measures like heart rate and percentages of 1RM. Phil argues RPE requires calibration through experience and that newer lifters often avoid hard work because they don't yet know what true maximal effort feels like, while “tough guys” may under-rate effort. The group recommends pairing RPE with objective targets, tracking output over time for patterns, using coaching to calibrate effort, and reserving true all-out attempts for the competition platform to reduce injury risk. 00:00 Show Intro 00:33 Hosts And Agenda 01:26 RPE Hype And Pitfalls 02:53 Percentages Plus RPE 03:45 Coaching New Lifters 04:15 Strain Versus Pain 05:46 Mike Joins And Defines RPE 06:59 Subjective Versus Objective 08:32 Beginners Need Calibration 13:50 Westside Daily Max Explained 16:05 Track Output Over Time 16:24 Avoiding The RPE Hole 17:21 Peaking With RPE 18:19 Objective vs Subjective Load 19:20 RPE Ego And Failure Culture 19:44 Coaching For Psychology 21:09 Calibrating RPE Signals 23:17 Percent Work Plus RPE 24:13 Extra Work As Reward 25:47 Training Toughness Adaptation 28:19 Patterns And Outlier Days 29:40 Warmups Dont Overthink 31:13 Wrap Up And Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Iron Radio: Nutrition Knowledge, Diet Quality, and Where Athletes Get Their Info On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss how heavy training taxes recovery, then focus on athlete nutrition knowledge and diet quality using a Current Developments in Nutrition editorial summarizing six articles. They note adolescents often get nutrition info from social media, with athletes valuing credible sources more and viewing food as fuel, while non-athletes see food as social. They discuss YouTube as a major information source and how expert content may lack trust-building communication compared to non-experts. A study in Ireland found sensory appeal as the top driver of food choice even in active populations. Data from Florida State Division I cross-country athletes showed inadequate carbs, calcium, and vitamin D, but adequate protein, fat, and iron, alongside poor overall diet quality. They also cover Iranian bodybuilders' supplement use patterns and debate how veteran strength athletes simplify supplement choices. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:35 Meet Prep and Big Lifts 01:30 Squat vs Deadlift Grind 03:01 Risk and Willpower 04:00 Lonnie Background and Credentials 05:01 Today Topic and Upcoming Guests 06:39 Athletes Nutrition Knowledge 08:12 Social Media and Mentors 10:23 YouTube Experts vs Influencers 12:11 Taste Drives Food Choices 14:17 Athlete Fuel Mindset 15:44 Learning to Eat for Gains 16:47 Taste Preferences Get Skewed 17:38 New Podcast Feed 18:48 Mike Nelson Newsletter 19:27 Supplements Book Update 20:35 Runner Diet Quality Study 23:12 Elite Sport vs Health 27:27 Bodybuilder Supplement Habits 31:59 Old School Protein Tales 34:29 Athletes More Mindful 35:04 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Urolithin A for Strength & Mitochondria + Avoiding Wearable-Driven Analysis Paralysis On Iron Radio, Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss Phil's upcoming meet and a client question about urolithin A, reviewing a 2022 randomized placebo-controlled trial in middle-aged adults showing about 12% strength improvement plus lower inflammation and acyl-carnitines, while noting the results may not apply to trained lifters and that more research is needed; they also explain urolithin A as a postbiotic derived from polyphenol precursors found in foods like berries and nuts, tying it to “eating like an adult” rather than relying on ultra-processed foods. After show updates and promos, they pivot to “analysis paralysis,” arguing that overreliance on perfect programming, wearables, HRV/sleep scores, RPE, and bar-velocity tracking can become a crutch, and emphasizing hard work, trends over time, and performance as the key markers. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:44 Meet Prep and Records 01:37 Lonnie Updates and ISSN Talks 03:07 Urolithin A Supplement Buzz 04:52 Study Breakdown and Dosing 09:58 Food Sources and Adult Eating 12:36 Break and Network Updates 15:52 Analysis Paralysis in Training 18:29 Grit Over Perfect Metrics 20:29 Real World Meet Chaos 22:25 Stop Over Measuring 22:53 Train With Fire 24:32 Midnight Strap Squats 25:28 Which Metrics Matter 29:03 Trends Beat One Offs 32:08 Be Researcher Athlete 36:20 Use Data Build Habits 37:59 Measurement Error Reality 39:13 Coaching Fatigue Context 40:02 Final Takeaways Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
Caffeine, Polyphenols, and Smarter Training Volume: Total Reps, Fatigue, and Performance On this Valentine's Day episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss authenticity in sports nutrition communication, then review an editorial in Current Developments in Nutrition (Buckley et al., with Stu Phillips as senior author) highlighting that “proper” nutrition varies by sport demands. They summarize research in the special issue on athletic performance: four papers on caffeine/coffee showing improvements across aerobic and anaerobic outcomes (power output, time to exhaustion, vertical jump, sprint performance, post-activation performance enhancement), reduced perceived fatigue, and possible benefits to hand-eye coordination, with one paper suggesting ~3 mg/kg may be sufficient versus higher dosing. They also note mixed findings on polyphenols/anthocyanins (including black currant data showing more support for recovery than performance) and mention continued creatine coverage amid ongoing misinformation. After show/network announcements (updated podcast feed via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, Mike Nelson's free daily newsletter, and Lonnie Lowry's upcoming 2025/2026 second edition book Dietary Supplements in Sports Performance), the conversation shifts to training prescription. Phil explains programming volume via total rep targets (e.g., 30 reps) instead of fixed set/rep schemes to manage good and bad days, emphasize perfect form, and allow flexibility through “buy ups/buy outs,” including leaving the gym on days when submaximal work isn't there. The hosts discuss practical considerations like rest periods, avoiding turning the weight room into conditioning for athletes, tailoring density/rest to sport demands (powerlifting vs field sports), and coordinating training load to prevent staleness and excessive fatigue. They also address hybrid/CrossFit-style programming pitfalls, the need for purposeful periodization and strength development, and how total-dose training can help older lifters maintain muscle while managing joint stress, while still recognizing times when pushing sets is appropriate. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio + Hosts Introductions (Valentine's Day Episode) 01:03 Authenticity vs ‘Boring Experts' in Sports Nutrition Communication 02:38 Today's Agenda: New Sports Nutrition Editorial + Training Volume Flexibility 04:28 Research Roundup: Caffeine/Coffee Performance Effects (Dose, Fatigue, Coordination) 08:42 Polyphenols/Anthocyanins & Creatine: Mixed Evidence and Practical Takeaways 09:55 Network Updates, Newsletter, and Upcoming Supplements Book Promo Break 13:16 Training by Total Reps: Auto-Regulating Volume on Good vs Bad Days 18:36 Quality Reps, Rest Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Density (Strength vs Conditioning) 22:33 Strength Work vs. Conditioning: Safer Training and Better Reps 22:57 Coaching Coordination, Fatigue, and the Power of a Taper 23:51 When Coaches Misread Staleness: ‘Run More' and Other Late-Season Mistakes 24:41 Programming Hybrid Athletes: Separate Strength, Conditioning, and Simulation 26:51 Periodization 101: Stop Chasing Three Rabbits 27:26 CrossFit Reality Check: Winners Get Strong (Not Just ‘WOD of the Day') 29:13 What Takes Years: Max Strength and Muscle vs. Quick Aerobic Gains 30:26 Training as You Age: ‘Total Dose' to Maintain Muscle and Progress 33:00 Coming Back for a Meet: Build Back Smart and Don't Rush the Load 34:14 Progression Model + Wrap-Up and Safety Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

September is here and so is a new episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast! We have Mike T sitting in with us for this entire episode and we kick things off with a Look Back and Look Ahead in the world of DG. We talk Okta, we talk Festbier, we look a little further ahead into October to Dancing Gnome's 9th anniversary. Next, we wade into the always treacherous waters of a "kids at a brewery" discussion, following some recent 1 star reviews DG received on Google. We read a New York Times article from earlier this summer that talks about how some breweries are handling this tricky issue and the responses they are receiving. After our break, we crack open two of Dancing Gnome's latest barrel aged offerings, Contact and Vindemia, while Andrew talks about the interesting process behind creating these two beers. We close out the show by answering some listener questions. Thanks for listening!! Intro/Outro music by: Kabbalistic VillageBreak music by: Kevin MacLeod
When MIke Tomlin wants to sit down and chop it up, you soak it in and try to take in all his words and wisdom. In this can't-miss 2025 training camp special —Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor—make their annual trip to Latrobe for a powerful, wide-ranging sit-down with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, just weeks away from one of the most anticipated seasons in franchise history. Tomlin pulls back the curtain on what it's like coaching Aaron Rodgers, now in black and gold and laser-focused at another shot at a Super Bowl. From the moment Rodgers walked into the building, the standard didn't change—it elevated. Coach T talks leadership dynamics, the merging of legacies, key pick ups adding star power on both offense and defense and how he's building a locker room that can support both the present and the future. It's a true Sunday service with Coach's honesty and gems dropped as the guys go deep into what Rodgers still brings at age 41, the lessons learned from past seasons, and why this year may look a little different but rooted in the same core principles. Tomlin also reflects on his longevity in the league, the evolution of his leadership style, and the pressure—and privilege—of chasing greatness in a city that demands it. His love affair with football and what drives him each day is shared and he even reveals some secrets that will make the football world say- ohhh now I get it! Tap in now for the full conversation with Mike T as the guys peel back the layers of one of the most respected figures in sports.
