Es liegen systematische Übersichtsarbeiten vor, insbesondere zu Essverhalten, Körperbild und psychischem Wohlbefinden. Begrenzter ist die Evidenz dafür, dass intuitive Ernährung langfristig zu einer relevanten Gewichtsabnahme oder automatisch zum Normalgewicht führt. Auch die Aussage, dass nach fünf Jahren über 90 Prozent der Menschen wieder ihr Ausgangsgewicht erreichen oder darüber liegen, ist in dieser Allgemeingültigkeit nicht ausreichend belegt. Gewichtszunahmen nach Diäten sind häufig, die Ergebnisse unterscheiden sich aber je nach Intervention, Personengruppe und Nachbetreuung deutlich. Zum Einfluss von Alkohol auf die Muskelproteinsynthese – ab 00:27:33 Die im Podcast genannten 10 bis 20 Prozent stimmen nicht mit der vermutlich gemeinten Studie überein. Nach einer sehr hohen Alkoholzufuhr von 1,5 Gramm pro Kilogramm Körpergewicht war die Muskelproteinsynthese trotz Proteinzufuhr etwa 24 Prozent und bei Alkohol plus Kohlenhydraten etwa 37 Prozent geringer. Untersucht wurde die kurzfristige Muskelproteinsynthese, nicht der langfristige Muskelaufbau. Ein einzelnes Bier macht eine Trainingseinheit dennoch nicht wertlos. Zum Zusammenhang zwischen Schlafmangel und Energieaufnahme – ab 01:33:50 Die genannten 300 bis 400 zusätzlichen Kilokalorien beziehen sich nicht auf jede einzelne Stunde Schlafmangel. Eine Meta-Analyse zeigte unter experimentell verkürzten Schlafbedingungen im Durchschnitt eine etwa 385 Kilokalorien höhere tägliche Energieaufnahme als unter normalen Schlafbedingungen. Zum Einfluss von Hormonen auf das Abnehmen – ab 01:50:36 Hormone sind nicht lediglich eine Folge des Lebensstils. Besonders während der Menopause können hormonelle Veränderungen Körperzusammensetzung, Fettverteilung, Appetit und möglicherweise den Energieverbrauch beeinflussen. Sie setzen die Energiebilanz jedoch nicht außer Kraft, können die Gewichtskontrolle aber erschweren. Quellenverzeichnis Al Khatib, H. K., Harding, S. V., Darzi, J., & Pot, G. K. (2017).

Do you experience or used to experience food-related guilt?If so, this is common and you are not alone.However, sometimes we think we need to guilt our way to success or taking action but this is actually a poor approach for the vast majority of us.We need to start looking at guilt as a human, in ways inevitable but negative outcome - and work on managing it better. Because guilt is not a good tactic…In this episode, I explain the guilt equation in nutrition and why it is not ideal and how to go about managing setbacks and guilt in a more healthy, productive way to pushes you forward rather than pulls you back.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

Consistency is a fundamental pillar of nutrition success and how I go about coaching my clients.But what does it really mean to be consistent effectively?Does it mean rigid plans and strict control over all food choices? Or is there more to it?In this episode, I explain the truth around consistency using a recent example I also discussed, about how it's easy to misinterpret consistency in a practical sense and looking at the overraching principle more healthily.

Dr. Jose Antonio, co-founder and CEO of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, joins Paul Warloski and Paul Laursen to separate effective sports supplements from overhyped products. He explains why protein, creatine, beta-alanine, nitrates, and caffeine form his evidence-backed top five, while also making the case for sodium bicarbonate. The conversation covers practical dosing, protein requirements, creatine for endurance athletes and cognitive health, ineffective testosterone boosters, the placebo effect, probiotics, personalized supplementation, and race-day carbohydrate strategies. Throughout the episode, Antonio advocates a pragmatic approach: identify the athlete's goal, assess the potential benefit and harm, use the available science, and pay attention to what works in the real world.Key TakeawaysStart with the athlete's goal. A supplement recommendation is only meaningful when tied to a specific performance, recovery, health, or body-composition objective.Antonio's top five are protein, creatine, beta-alanine, nitrates, and caffeine. Sodium bicarbonate earns an additional place because of its buffering and performance benefits.Caffeine works, but dosage matters. Antonio discusses an effective range of roughly 1–6 mg per kilogram, with approximately 3 mg/kg as a common starting point.Creatine is not just for bodybuilders. It may support recovery and performance in cycling, swimming, paddling, and other sports where body weight is supported.Five grams of creatine per day is generally sufficient for skeletal muscle. Higher doses may be needed to influence cognition, although the evidence is still developing.Distance runners may prefer a lower creatine dose. Antonio suggests that around 2 g per day could provide recovery benefits while limiting unwanted weight gain.Protein should remain high even on rest days. Recovery continues when athletes are not training, so protein intake should not drop dramatically.One gram of protein per pound of body weight is presented as a practical athletic baseline. Higher intake may provide benefits, but affordability and adherence are real constraints.Beetroot-derived nitrates are preferred over arginine. Citrulline may help, but its effective dosing can be inconvenient.Testosterone boosters are among the most overhyped supplements. Tongkat ali and turkesterone have not demonstrated meaningful improvements in lean mass or sustained testosterone elevation in healthy athletes.Belief can affect performance. Antonio describes a caffeine experiment in which participants performed according to the dose they thought they received—even though every dose was a placebo.Practice fueling strategies in training. Whether an athlete uses 30, 60, or 120 grams of carbohydrate per hour, race day should never be the first experiment.Dr. Jose AntonioPaul Warloski - Simple Endurance CoachingMarjaana Rakai | Nordic Performance Lab
Rick Collins, Esq., NSCA-CSCS, is a lawyer who defends the nutrition and fitness community, a partner at Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC, and General Counsel to the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Peptides are everywhere right now, but most of what's sold online as BPC-157 or TB-500 is illegal — and the FDA is about to decide what happens next. Rick breaks down the science, the legal gray market, and why the military's new testosterone screening policy matters too. Expect to learn what actually counts as a "peptide," how GLP-1 drugs normalized injectable medications and fueled the gray market, what the FDA's own scientists concluded about BPC-157 and TB-500, why Rick's caseload has shifted from steroids to 80-90% peptide cases, what a possible "experimental peptide" middle-ground category could look like, and what really happens when the FDA raids a peptide seller, and much more.

We have a great show planned today and will talk about why there has been a significant rise in people of all ages using Creatine. To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.Dr. Stengler's, NMD. The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health.A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.Talking Points:Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities?There are a variety of athletic events, not just resistance/power activities, which may benefit from creatine supplementation.-Creatine supplementation with carbohydrate or carbohydrate and protein has been reported to promote greater muscle glycogen storage than carbohydrate supplementation alone.-May reduce muscle damage and/or enhance recovery from intense exercise.-Individuals supplementing their diet with creatine experienced less muscle damage, inflammation, and muscle soreness in response to running 30-km as well as during 4-weeks of intensified training.-There is evidence that athletes who supplement with creatine during training experience fewer musculoskeletal injuries, accelerated recovery time from injury and less muscle atrophy after immobilization.-Creatine supplementation (with or without glycerol) has been reported to help athletes hyper-hydrate and thereby enhance tolerance to exercise in the heat-There is evidence from animal models that creatine supplementation is neuroprotective and can reduce the severity of spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, and concussion/traumatic brain injury. This evidence was so compelling that the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommended that athletes engaged in sports that have a potential for concussion and/or spinal cord injury take creatine for its neuroprotective effects.Learn more about Dr. StenglerLearn more about Emerald Labs Creatine Health

For many athletes, especially in the world of endurance sport, the exhaustion that follows a hard effort is part of the reward for the training it took to make it happen. But when the mountaintop feeling of a new personal best fades away and the fatigue still lingers, it might be a sign of something deeper lurking beneath the surface. What if that fatigue you're battling during a heavy training block is more than simply the product of hard work? What if the impacts of an activity-filled lifestyle might actually be contributing to long term health risks? These are the questions that have often gone unheard or overlooked by athletes at all ability levels, but are crucial to making sure that sport remains a healthy part of any athlete's life. While there's no simple catchall answer to the above questions, a recurring theme that has drawn the ongoing attention of leading sports scientists, dieticians, and doctors is the impact of low iron levels. Yet for all iron's importance to our overall health–and sport performance–it remains largely misunderstood by many athletes. That's why a group of Canada's leading sport-science minds have spent the last three years compiling the research for a landmark consensus on the role of iron in sport.

Three years ago, Scott Dicker of SPINS joined us on Episode #082 of the PricePlow Podcast to talk creatine, collagen, and where sports nutrition was heading next. On Episode #224, Scott returns to grade his own predictions and dig into everything that’s changed since February 2023. The report card is mostly great news for Scott. Creatine’s move into cognitive health and older demographics played out almost exactly as he called it, hydration supplements kept climbing even as ready-to-drink sports drinks flattened out, and Red Bull is still the top-selling energy drink despite years of Celsius, Alani, Ghost, and C4 taking share. Scott, Mike, and Ben also cover where his 2023 calls needed adjusting, from ashwagandha’s staying power to pre-workout’s real exposure to energy drinks. From there, the conversation moves into new territory: the creatine gummy boom, GLP-1 ripple effects on weight management and protein, precision fermentation’s push into alternative dairy proteins, and Scott’s fresh picks for the next ingredients to watch. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/kaitlyn-kenna-smith-223 Video: Scott Dicker of SPINS Grades His 2023 Supplement Trend Predictions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDaC4LVirBk Detailed Show Notes: Scott Dicker Returns After 3 Years of SPINS Supplement Trend Predictions (0:00) – Introductions (2:00) – Grading the Creatine Call Three Years Later (3:30) – Sports Nutrition as the Testing Ground for Mainstream Trends (8:00) – Hydration Shifts From Ready-to-Drink to Ready-to-Mix (11:15) – Energy Drinks Continue Eating Into Pre-Workout Occasions (16:30) – Red Bull Still Reigns, But the Perception Game Has Changed (19:30) – Premium Pricing Reshapes the Creatine Category (22:45) – Creatine Gummies Go From Novelty to Mainstream (25:45) – Better Formats Win: Soft Chews and the Push for Stability (27:15) – Delivery Formats and the Rise of “Permissible Indulgence” (30:45) – L-Theanine and the Hunt for Stim-Free Alternatives (37:30) – Kava, Caffeine Modulation, and the New Wave of Session Drinks (42:45) – Why “Natural Flavors” on the Label Isn’t Enough Anymore (48:15) – GLP-1s Reshape Weight Management and Create New Companion Categories (52:15) – Active Lifestyle Meets Natural and Organic: A Consumer Venn Diagram (59:15) – Cognizin, Health Span, and Winning the AI Search Era (1:01:45) – Horseshoe Theory: How Niche Trends Find the Mainstream (1:04:45) – Precision Fermentation’s Long Game for Alternative Proteins (1:11:15) – Ice Cream and the Challenge of Refrigerated Snacking (1:13:30) – Are Functional Ingredients Welcome in Snacks?

Youth sports is a $19 billion industry built around athletes and coaches that has completely overlooked the most consistent adult in every young athlete's life: the parent. Alex Hocevar, co-founder of Supporter, spent 25 years in digital transformation before his own experience navigating the NCAA recruiting process with a competitive swimmer daughter revealed a massive gap in the system. He breaks down why parents are the missing leg of the youth sports stool, how Supporter delivers contextual, jurisdiction-aware guidance in real time, and why shifting the industry's mindset is the real challenge ahead. Key Takeaways: 7:53 — Parents in youth sports land on a spectrum between disengaged and overbearing, and both extremes ultimately hurt the athlete. 17:14 — The NCAA recruiting process is a clear example of how parents are left without direction, often unaware of critical timelines and pathways until it is too late. 20:07 — Supporter fills three specific gaps that generic AI tools miss: context for the individual athlete, jurisdiction-aware answers, and guidance calibrated to the parent's own knowledge level. 27:25 — The biggest challenge for a new sports-parent platform is breaking into the fragmented ecosystem of clubs, leagues, and organizations at scale. Quote of the Show (29:00):"You go to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, whatever, and it'll give you an answer, and it'll sound authoritative. The reality is once you get under the covers on what it's saying, it's not necessarily the best answer for you." — Alex Hocevar Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Nitric Oxide Explained: Vascular Health, Exercise Performance, and N1o1 with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He details NO as a ubiquitous messenger affecting blood flow, erectile function, cognition, exercise performance, endothelial dysfunction, and aging-related declines in NO production. Bryan explains why PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra prolong cyclic GMP signaling but don't fix NO deficiency, and why beet products often fail due to variable nitrate content and inadequate dosing. He outlines his NO lozenge approach that generates NO gas from sodium nitrite and magnesium ascorbate, plus a fermented beet powder drink (NOBeets), and emphasizes the role of oral bacteria (and harms of antiseptic mouthwash/fluoride) in nitrate conversion. They review published endpoints, including flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure effects, inflammation markers, triglycerides, stem cells, plaque regression, applications to Alzheimer's, glaucoma/microvascular disease, safety/dosing considerations, risks of arginine supplementation, and a dual-chamber topical NO serum developed from wound-healing experience.

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today. What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action." Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).

In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat. They also discuss how to structure protein, carbohydrates, and fats for better body composition, why carbohydrate tolerance depends on activity level, the importance of resistance training, keto adaptation, meal timing, fasting, protein distribution, and why protecting muscle should be the priority during fat loss.

Is this UK supplement company smart or crazy? For decades, the U.S. sports nutrition market has been a graveyard for ambitious British brands. They cross the Atlantic with huge UK market share, only to get crushed by the brutal realities of the American marketplace. But Applied Nutrition is throwing out the traditional expansion playbook. Instead of spending millions to acquire their own brand name trademark in the United States (forcing them to launch under the clunky moniker AN Supps) they are betting everything on operational excellence. In this content, I break down Applied Nutrition's massive $16 million cash acquisition of Buffalo-based manufacturer Nutrablend Group. Also, I explore why building supply chain resilience matters more than flashy marketing, and how their genius "Trojan Horse" flavor partnerships with Mondelēz International (Sour Patch Kids & Swedish Fish) might just unlock success on Walmart shelves.Key Takeaways From This Video:Margin Fix: Shifting manufacturing to Upstate New York instantly eliminates transatlantic shipping costs and import duties.Retail Security: Localized production capacity gives them the operational resilience required by retail giants like Walmart.North American Revenue Catalyst: The Nutrablend facility is projected to contribute $30 million in third-party manufacturing revenue by FY2027.What do you think? Can Applied Nutrition officially conquer America without using their own brand name?
