Energy expenditure is one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood aspects of human physiology. A central question is whether there is a ceiling to how many calories we can burn, and what happens when activity levels approach that limit. Grasping these dynamics is essential for health professionals and researchers, as energy balance directly influences body weight regulation, metabolic health, and athletic performance. Emerging research shows that our bodies regulate calorie burn not in a fixed manner, but through adaptation and compensation, revealing that the “calories in vs. calories out” model is far more dynamic than it may first appear. In this episode, we revisit key insights from experts such as Dr. Herman Pontzer, Dr. Brent Ruby, Dr. Mark Hopkins, Dr. Eric Trexler, and Dr. Chris Melby. These perspectives cover how the body adapts to different levels of physical activity, the metabolic adjustments during weight loss (often called adaptive thermogenesis), and the concept of energy flux in weight maintenance.

Join Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast for another essential Casting Angles segment with renowned guide and casting instructor Mac Brown, who brings over 40 years of guiding experience to this critical discussion on building foundational casting skills. Mac reveals why most anglers struggle with on-water situations despite countless hours of park practice, explaining how developing a strong foundational casting stroke facilitates the variability needed to adapt seamlessly to challenging fishing conditions from Wisconsin's Driftless area vegetation to Montana's windy rivers. Learn why "pickup and lay down" repetition leads to context dependency that fails when trees, wind and tight quarters demand creative solutions, and discover how mastering core principles like power and rod path variations enables you to throw positive and negative curve casts confidently in any fishing scenario. With delayed harvest season approaching, Mac emphasizes the importance of grass-based practice sessions that build true adaptability rather than memorized responses, transforming frustrated anglers into confident problem-solvers who can handle mangrove-covered saltwater flats or rhododendron-shrouded mountain streams with equal skill. Whether you're preparing for fall fishing or looking to break through casting plateaus, this segment provides the foundational understanding that serious fly fishing enthusiasts need to elevate their stream performance through intelligent practice and strategic skill development.Related ContentS7, Ep 20 - Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS7, Ep 41 - Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 93 - Terrestrials, Drift and Teaching the Next Generation with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130 - Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your...
Dr Wells reviews a recent case of acute post op ACL repair. May be old hat for many, but neither he nor Dr. E sees post op in their practices. What was surprising to Sean was that the surgeon called for 1 week of complete NWB. Sean did research and was surprised at the amount of variability in many ACLR protocols. They also discuss lifestyle medicine and other rehab topics.What do you do when a post op protocol seems outdated?

Grant, Matt, and Randy gear up to discuss precision, accuracy, and variability in wildlife studies. They dive into how variability measures data spread, using range, quartiles, standard deviation, variance, and coefficient of variation (CV).Accuracy reflects closeness to the true value, precision shows clustering of estimates. Standard errors, confidence intervals, and Bayesian credibility intervals quantify estimate precision. Required precision depends on study goals, sample size, and application, ensuring reliable, interpretable, and actionable results for wildlife management and conservation.They wrap up with some examples, but the take home message is deciding how precise results need to be hinges on the question and resources.Cite this episode: https://doi.org/10.7944/usfws.wbtn.s01ep011DOI Citation Formatter: https://citation.doi.org/ Episode music: Shapeshifter by Mr Smith is licensed under an Attribution 4.0 International License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/https://freemusicarchive.org/music/mr-smith/studio-city/shapeshifter/
Heart disease is the world's biggest killer—and it often strikes without warning. It's responsible for around 1 in 5 deaths in the US. While these figures are deeply worrying, heart disease is not inevitable. Decades of research have unearthed many of the risk factors associated with heart health, like poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Nour Makarem outlines the latest scientific discoveries in this field and unveils some less-familiar risk factors. Drawing from large-scale population data and the latest wearable tech, she uncovers what makes heart disease so hard to spot, and what we can do today to prevent it. Nour is a cardiovascular epidemiologist at Columbia University, whose research focuses on how our behaviors—like sleep, stress, and daily rhythms—impact heart disease risk. Her research has helped shape the American Heart Association's Essential Eight guide to heart health. Unwrap the truth about your food

Antidepressants are in widespread use, but there is considerable variability in how patients respond, with some seeing substantial improvement while others respond only partially or not at all. In this podcast, Dr. Antonio E. Nardi discusses the many factors that underlie response rates, including psychological factors, personality traits, and medication adherence. There are also some mood conditions such as demoralization that may seem to resemble depression but do not meet all the clinical criteria. Recognizing these different emotional states is crucial for both individuals and clinicians in the treatment of low mood disorders. Dr. Nardi, along with Drs. Richard I. Shader, Richard Balon, Anthony J. Rothschild, and Larissa Junkes, are the authors of an editorial titled, “ ‘I am depressed': The many meanings that may underlie variability in response to antidepressants.” The editorial is published in the September-October 2025 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002053

Today's guest is Michael Zweifel. Michael is the Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Backs Coach at UW–La Crosse, now in his fourth season with the program. He previously founded Building Better Athletes (BBA Performance) in Dubuque, Iowa, training athletes from youth to pro levels. Michael also coached at Clarke College and the University of Dubuque. A former record-setting wide receiver, he won the 2011 Gagliardi Trophy and still holds the NCAA all-divisions career receptions record (463). In athletic development, the “5 S's of performance”: Strength, Speed, Stamina, Suppleness, and Skill are often brought up. What tends to be the case is that those 5 elements are weighted in that order, with skill mentioned, but rarely or ever studied in how to improve it. On today's show, Michael discusses his own creative approach to skill development in American football players with an emphasis on building artistry and adaptability in his players. He speaks on the nature of constraint-based coaching that helps athletes improve their arsenal of movements on the field, as well as their decision-making skills amid chaos. We also touch on the crossover between basketball and football, and ultimately, the art of long-term development of skill in one's sport and as an athlete in general.

College athletes can handle more volume and complexity, but the fundamentals still matter. What to try: Prioritize clean movement and buy-in over complexity in high school settings. Introduce more autonomy and load management with college athletes. Don't assume physical maturity—meet athletes where they are. Balancing Strength and Movement Skill in Team Settings – [5:03] It's not just about chasing strength numbers. There's value in seeing how strength integrates into movement, especially in large team environments. What to try: Cycle in movement tasks—like crawling, balancing, or landing—in warmups and finishers. Use strength work to support athletic expression, not just output. Keep the athlete's sport in mind—strength is a tool, not the goal. Developing the Skill of Lifting in Young Athletes – [11:09] Lifting isn't just strength—it's a skill. For youth athletes, you're teaching how to move with awareness under load. What to try: Start with basic isometrics and bodyweight patterns to teach control. Add load only when position and rhythm are reliable. Use slow eccentrics and pauses to reinforce stability. Rethinking Readiness: Performance vs. Output – [15:34] Readiness isn't just about lifting heavier or running faster—it's about how an athlete moves and feels. Output is one piece, not the whole picture. What to try: Include subjective readiness check-ins before training. Look for signs of fluidity, control,
On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Jonathan Gabison, MD, DABOM, and Stephen Lott, PharmD, MS. At the University of Michigan, Gabison is an obesity medicine specialist and family physician, while Lott serves as director of the postgraduate year one managed care residency program and manager of the university's prescription drug plan. Their qualitative study, "Understanding Insurance Coverage Policies for Incretin Mimetics for Weight Management," determined that the high costs associated with these therapies limit insurance coverage and contribute to variation in utilization management strategies aimed at controlling short-term spending. During the conversation, the investigators discuss how high costs, misconceptions about obesity, and inconsistent coverage policies continue to hinder equitable, patient-centered care.

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Koepp discusses his research on children's self-regulation and behavioral changes throughout the day and week. He explains how children's self-control, particularly in terms of restlessness and inhibition, tends to wear out across the school day and week. Andrew suggests that understanding these natural ebbs and flows can help parents and teachers plan activities, emphasizing the importance of restorative experiences like sleep, physical activity (recess), and unstructured playtime. He also offers three key pieces of advice: meet kids where they are by understanding their varying self-control, anticipate difficult moments and plan accordingly, and use anticipatory guidance to clearly communicate behavioral expectations to children.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm diving into the nitty-gritty of blood work and why it matters for your health, performance, and longevity, especially if you're an athlete, bodybuilder, or serious about your training.Fresh off the ISSN (International Society of Sports Nutrition) conference, I'm joined by Michael Warner, a sharp coach at Marek Health and the owner of Set the Standard. Together, we unpack some of the most important markers in blood work, how training and nutrition can influence your results, and how to actually interpret those lab numbers in the real world.We also discuss the importance of hydration, the context behind the numbers, and why proactive health monitoring should be an integral part of every performance plan. And yes, we touch on the impact of PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs) and what they can do to your blood markers.Whether you're optimizing for gains or longevity, this is a must-listen for anyone who wants to truly understand what's going on under the hood.Sponsors:Tecton Life Ketone drink! https://tectonlife.com/ DRMIKE to save 20%LMNT electrolyte drink mix: miketnelsonlmnt.comAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:00:16 Recap of the ISSN Meeting00:40 Guest Introduction: Michael Warner00:59 Importance of Blood Work for Health and Performance01:28 Personal Experience with Blood Work02:15 Basic Blood Tests and Their Accessibility03:19 Interpreting Blood Work Results03:37 Vitamin D and Lifestyle Factors04:08 Focus on Exogenous Compounds04:31 Sponsor Shoutouts06:48 Interview with Michael Warner Begins08:04 Blood Work in Physique Athletes08:57 Variability in Blood Work Results13:21 Blood Pressure and Easy Checks15:01 Proactive Health Monitoring15:48 Whack-a-Mole Lab Work19:11 Preparing for Lab Work26:33 Frequency of Blood Work29:45 Enhanced Athletes and Blood Work33:08 Risks and Rewards of Enhancement35:57 TRT and Personal Experiences38:18 Fertility and Performance Enhancing Drugs39:03 Introduction to Fertility Clinics and At-Home Sperm Tests40:27 Misconceptions About Testosterone and Fertility41:26 Essential Blood Work for Health and Performance44:26 Advanced Markers and Kidney Function46:25 Importance of Iron Panels and Sex Hormones50:16 Thyroid Panels and Additional Health Markers54:56 Merrick Health and Telemedicine Services01:04:22 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Flex Diet Podcast Episodes You May Enjoy:Episode 201: Coaching clients to look and feel their best: An interview with Lacey Dunn, RDEpisode 144: Peptides – Bleeding Edge Performance, Muscle, and Recovery with Dr. Andy Galpin & Dr. Ryan GreeneConnect with Michael:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mawsome_Website: https://marekhealth.com/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us
Today's guest is Hunter Eisenhower, Associate Head Coach for Sports Performance at Arizona State Men's Basketball. With experience in the NBA and NCAA, Hunter blends force production qualities, data analysis, and variability-driven human training methods to build explosive, adaptable athletes. He's the creator of the “Force System” and a thought leader in modern athletic performance concepts. Most athletic performance training is centered around outputs. Movement abilities and qualities are discussed, but there isn't much quantification process that goes towards an athlete's raw abilities, such as variable jump strategies alongside stiffness and compliance competencies. On today's episode, Hunter shares his approach to offseason prep using general physical means that build that “human strength”—developing capacity alongside movement variability. Hunter also breaks down how he quantifies an athlete's movement capacities and library, their ability to, balance rigidity and compliance in line with force plate data. We wrap with ideas on foot training and using variable surfaces to meet the demands of dynamic sport. This is a great look at training beyond just big lifts—into the true movement needs of the game.

Sometimes mental state—not just strength—dictates how long you'll last under tension. What to try: Program weekly “grit sets”: sandbag holds, wall sits, or dead hangs. Try them first thing in the session—before the brain can talk itself out of effort. Pair them with journaling or a quick “mind state” score: how'd it feel today? Let Hard and Fun Coexist in Your Program (6:00) Every session can't be a competition. But not everyone should be brutal either. Hunter encourages toggling between “suck” and “play.” One makes you tougher, the other keeps you coming back. What to try: Alternate between gamified partner drills and long isometric work during your week. Use athlete feedback: which days feel “engaging”? Which feel like “grinding”? Both matter. Build polarity into the week—not just into the periodization model. The Importance of Variability in Program Design (10:19) Sticking to one type of stimulus flattens the athlete's capacity. Instead, training should live across a spectrum—fun to miserable, slow to fast, light to heavy.

Christopher Bae is taking us on a journey to meet the hominids of Asia's past. Dr. Bae is a distinguished paleoanthropologist from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa whose research focuses on human evolution in East Asia. Born in Korea and adopted by an American family, his unique personal journey sparked an early interest in race, human variation, and the deep history of our species. What began as a search for his own roots led him to a career dedicated to reconstructing the past—much like paleoanthropologists do when piecing together humanity's evolutionary story. Dr. Bae has conducted extensive field and laboratory research across Korea, Japan, and China, collaborating on projects that span hominin fossils, vertebrate taphonomy, and lithic analysis. His work bridges disciplines in the social and natural sciences, providing a comprehensive perspective on Pleistocene hominin morphological and behavioral variation, particularly in Homo erectus and both archaic and modern Homo sapiens. With approximately 150 publications and over $1.5 million in extramural funding, Dr. Bae is a leading voice in understanding human evolution in East Asia. ------------------------------ Find the papers discussed in this episode: Bae, C.

Free articles and courses about movement from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network Episode 63 OverviewChris and Bill critically examine traditional motor control models in movement science, contrasting them with the Unified Health and Performance Continuum (UHPC) model. Their discussion challenges reductionist, brain-centric explanations of movement, advocating instead for an emergent, systems-based perspective that emphasizes adaptability, energy flow, and problem-solving in human movement. The episode is rich with practical analogies, clinical reasoning, and real-world examples to illustrate the limitations of conventional approaches and the strengths of the UHPC framework.Key Topics & Chapter Highlights00:00 – Introduction01:14 – Critique of Reductionism08:24 – Emergence and Complexity13:47 – Energy Flow and Gradients16:46 – Adaptation as Solution, Not Dysfunction18:19 – Integrating Tools, Rethinking Reasoning20:47 – Continuum of Health and Performance24:10 – Case Example: Knee Pain32:12 – Observation and Iteration33:53 – Systemic vs. Isolated SolutionsKey TakeawaysThe UHPC model views movement as an emergent, adaptive behavior shaped by energy flow, constraints, and systemic problem-solving-not just neural control or isolated muscle activation.Variability and adaptability are hallmarks of healthy movement; reductionist models that seek to eliminate variation can increase fragility.Practitioners should focus on expanding movement options and adaptability, using observation, questioning, and experimentation rather than rigid protocols.Structural adaptations are context-dependent solutions, not inherently dysfunctional.Effective clinical reasoning requires moving beyond static anatomical models and embracing complexity, energy dynamics, and the continuum between health and performance.Communication, curiosity, and willingness to question established paradigms are essential for practitioner growth and improved client outcomes.LEARN MOREJOIN the UHP Network to learn directly from Bill through articles, videos and courses.http://UHP.network TRAIN WITH BILLInterested in the only training program based on Bill Hartman's Model?https://www.reconu.co SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/Podcast audio:https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221or download with YT Premium

In this episode I reconnect with Dr. Andrew Wilson, Reader in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University and a leading voice in ecological psychology in sport. We delve into the fascinating world of affordances, skill development, and the complex challenge of transfer of learning in sport. Andrew brilliantly explains how our traditional understanding of skill acquisition often misses the mark, and why an ecological approach offers a more complete picture of how humans actually learn and develop skill.Three Key Takeaways:The overlap between training and performance contexts that enables transfer of learning is primarily in the information about affordances. When designing practice, focus on ensuring the right information is present rather than prescribed movement patterns.Variability in movement and practice isn't noise to be eliminated but rather a crucial signal that helps develop adaptable, creative performers. The best athletes aren't those who repeat identical movements but those who can respond to dynamic, ever-changing affordances.The ecological approach to coaching might benefit from being framed as an "affordance-led approach" rather than "constraints-led," highlighting how affordances define what counts as functional movement and serve as the primary constraint on motor abundance.Join my learning group 'The Guild of Ecological Explorers' by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking the 'join a learning group' button.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.
In the latest episode of the HHH Podcast, Coach Kara and Coach Lauren delve into the topic of how women can manage their training and health during their menstrual cycle. They share personal anecdotes and practical advice based on their experiences as athletes. They emphasize the importance of understanding one's own body and cycles, including how menstrual phases can affect energy levels and overall fitness. The conversation highlights that while many women might feel hesitant about exercising on their periods, both coaches find that they often experience increased energy and improved performance during menstruation rather than before it. They touch upon the importance of nutrition, particularly consuming whole foods and managing iron intake during the menstrual cycle. Additionally, they discuss the impact of sleep, hydration, and the necessity of tracking menstrual cycles to optimize health and training.
In this episode, Eric talks about why variability is a bell curve that's particularly challenging to manage in a sport like baseball that, at times, demands so much precision.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of recording a conversation with Dr. Julia Blau and Dr. Jeffrey Wagman, authors of "An Introduction to Ecological Psychology: A Lawful Approach to Perceiving, Acting, and Cognising." Our conversation explored how humans actually perceive and interact with the world around them and question the traditional assumptions about psychology which suggests that we need to create mental representations of the world before we can act. Julia and Jeff shared insights on how the ecological approach transforms our understanding of human movement, and we contextualise this to enpack how we might better provide opportunities for young people to develop their abilities in sport and physical activity. We discussed how creating rich, varied environments allows people to develop their own solutions to movement problems. This approach promotes agency, enjoyment, and ultimately better performance across many fields from sports coaching to education. Key Takeaways:Ecological psychology views perception and action as directly connected - we don't need to build internal models of the world to interact with it effectively.Variability in practice isn't something to eliminate; it's actually essential for developing adaptable skills that work in changing environments.When teaching movement skills, focus on helping people recognise when something feels right rather than precisely dictating the movements they should make.If you're interested in joining a community where we explore these concepts further, join our learning group 'The Guild of Ecological Explorers' by heading to www.thetalentequation.co.uk and clicking on the 'join a learning group' button.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.
Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Barbara Pape, Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project, about the concept of learner variability. The conversation touches on the importance of recognizing each student's unique strengths and challenges. They explore how educators can support neurodivergent learners through personalized instruction, they cover the role of technology in education, and talk about the need for a sense of belonging in the classroom. The discussion also touches on the barriers educators face in addressing learner variability and the evolution of educational policy to better support diverse learners. TAKEAWAYS Learner variability is the recognition that each student has unique strengths and challenges. Teaching to the middle does not effectively reach any student. Understanding learner variability allows educators to see design challenges rather than student problems. The Learner Variability Navigator is a tool for educators to understand and support diverse learners. Creating a sense of belonging is crucial for student engagement and success. Students should have agency in how their accommodations are presented to peers. Belonging in the classroom requires a whole child approach. Educational policy must evolve to provide adequate support for neurodivergent learners. Barbara Pape is the Senior Director of the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise, where she led a national survey on learner variability, edtech, and teacher practice, authored the defining paper on learner variability, and co-developed the IEP Project, which emphasizes strength-based, whole-child approaches to writing IEPs. She also hosts a monthly edWeb webinar series and previously served as executive producer of the award-winning Teaching & Learning conference for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Her background includes roles in public policy, having worked on former U.S. Senator Paul Simon's Senate and Presidential campaign, as well as in the U.S. Senate on the Education and Labor Committee. Barbara has contributed to numerous publications and was the editor and publisher of the first electronically delivered education newsletter, The Daily Report Card. She serves on the boards of Benetech and The Riley Project and is involved in multiple education and learner variability working groups. Previously, she was an advisor for the Kennedy Center's Intersection of the Arts and Special Education and a strategic planning committee member for Montgomery County Public Schools. She is currently pursuing a PhD at University College London, holds an EdM in reading and literacy from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, and began her career as a middle school language arts teacher.

His interest in tendons grew from personal injuries and working with military athletes. Understanding tendons requires recognizing their complexity and variability. Different tissues in the body respond to different types of training. Tendons need strain to gain strength and resilience. Training should not just focus on one position or angle. Low intensity durability is crucial for tendon health. High intensity repeatability helps in sustaining performance under strain. The bigger the base of connective tissue strength, the higher the peak performance. Innovative training methods can help address specific tendon issues effectively. Endurance athletes experience significant tendon strain but manage it effectively. Connective tissue behavior is crucial for injury prevention. Genetics play a role in tendon health and injury susceptibility. Assessing connective tissue is essential for understanding injury risk. Training should focus on restoring normal connective tissue architecture. Manipulating load, length, and time is key to adaptation. Static training is often overlooked in favor of dynamic work. Integrating multiple training qualities is necessary for performance. Understanding adaptations is more important than just knowing exercises. Progressive overload is essential for long-term connective tissue health. Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-138-tendons-with-taylor-starch/
