As Barnes points out, the decisions are very different when you toss in the seeding aspect and the strength of the regional bracket and for UNC, both of those variables likely play into the final decision for head coach Scott Forbes.

Dr. Scott Forbes is trying to cut through the hype and misinformation around creatine so listeners can understand what creatine actually is, what it truly does (and doesn't do), and how to use it safely and effectively for performance, brain health, and healthy aging.In today's conversation Dr. Forbes explores why creatine has become one of the most talked-about supplements—and how to separate real science from social-media noise. He explains what creatine is (and why it's not a steroid), how it supports short-duration high-intensity performance, and what the research says about strength, muscle, endurance “bursts,” and recovery. Scott also dives into emerging findings on brain energy demands—especially under stressors like sleep deprivation and mental fatigue—and why creatine may matter more as we age.You will learn how creatine works in the body's energy systems, what benefits are realistic (small but meaningful), and how those gains can compound over time. You'll also learn practical dosing strategies (loading vs. steady daily use), why creatine monohydrate is the best-studied form, how timing fits into the routine, plus the science behind common concerns like hair loss and kidney markers.You will discover that creatine's biggest strength is “quiet consistency”: it can modestly expand rapid-energy capacity and help maintain performance during physical or mental stress—without needing complicated protocols.Scott helps solve the challenge of making a confident, evidence-based decision about whether creatine belongs in your routine—without fear, myths, or marketing-driven confusion.

Most people think creatine only affects muscle strength and performance. But what if creatine also plays a role inside fat cells themselves—and could subtly influence fat loss and body recomposition? In this episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina I recaps the key takeaways from the interview with Dr. Scott Forbes, focusing on fat loss, body recomposition, muscle preservation, protein intake, creatine supplementation, sleep, and aging. This episode breaks down brand new research on how different training modalities, recovery, and evidence-based supplements influence fat loss and body composition—and why scale weight alone is a poor marker of fat loss success.

Get 20% off at timeline.com/vanessa Most fat-loss advice focuses on the scale — but what if that's the wrong metric entirely? In this episode, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Scott Forbes, exercise physiologist and professor at Brandon University, whose research challenges many of the assumptions behind traditional weight-loss approaches. Dr. Forbes has authored and co-authored numerous randomized controlled trials and large meta-analyses examining how training style, protein intake, creatine supplementation, sleep, and aging influence fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health. Rather than chasing weight loss, this conversation explores what happens when the goal shifts to body recomposition — losing fat while preserving or building muscle — and why that distinction changes everything. In this episode, we explore: Why weight loss and fat loss are not the same thing The surprising differences between cardio, resistance training, and combined approaches Why some people lose weight but stall metabolically How protein and creatine fit into a muscle-centric fat-loss strategy Why fat loss becomes harder with age — and what still works A largely overlooked factor that influences where fat is stored If you've ever done "everything right" and still felt stuck, this episode offers a science-backed reframe that may completely change how you approach fat loss.
As the 2026 baseball season approaches, North Carolina head coach Scott Forbes joins Tommy Ashley and Grace Nugent to discuss his team's preparation for another run in the loaded ACC. Forbes and staff welcome a deep freshman class and transfer portal talent that will need to replace at least seven everyday starters in the and the nation's best pitcher in Jake Knapp. This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.
