Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Leighton Phillips, founder of the world-leading, Low-Carb, High Fat nutrition company that supports endurance performance, SFuels.They discuss the development of SFuels, (with Leighton searching for but not being able to find products that weren't full of sugar) and how they continue to evolve the product based on feedback from the likes of Dr Dan Plews and Zach Bitter, to help endurance athletes optimise their health and performance - because you can do both. Mikki and Leighton discuss the high carb intakes recommended by other sports nutrition companies, why this isn't ideal for all in all scenarios, and why Fuels has adopted a ‘fuel for the work required' - helping athletes both upregulate fat oxidation and provides carbs where required. They also discuss the innovative ingredient list in some products that are based in research as they continue to refine their offerings. This is a great episode for anyone interested in sports nutrition, whether you lean the low carbohydrate route or not (as these products are not just designed for the low carbohydrate athlete).Leighton Phillips studied both naturopathy and computer science before starting SFuels in 2016 while working in Hong Kong and looking for a product to help reduce inflammation that occurred through training that was hampering his recovery. What started with one energy bar has grown into a portfolio of everyday low-carb/keto food-drink products that support enhanced fat oxidation training, and a product set and protocol for high-intensity interval training and racing. Beyond their awesome Blueberry Cocoa bars, they have  a Keto 3 Breakfast Cereal, a Revival recovery chocolate shake mix, Gel Powder (mix with water), and multiple flavors of Endurance Drink mix's.

Leighton comes from a long history of healthcare professionals in his family, and he himself studied naturopathic medicine and computer science, and he has an entrepreneurial mindset.   While training for Triathlon and Ultra endurance events, he found that the market for fueling drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup, and refined grains. With his nutrition training and ultra-endurance racing experience - he knew he could create something better. So after many years of product development, SFuels was born.   SFuels was developed with sports physiologist and world-renowned coach Dr. Dan Plews, Ultramarathon world record holder Zach Bitter, Olympic Triathlon medalist Hayden Wilde and many other world class endurance experts.   Timestamps 2:33 - Greg and Leighton rewind the clock and Leighton explains his early interests and achievements in sport and then onto sport science. Avoid Bonking - Finish Stronger - Reduce Gut Stress 10:00 - After finding a love for sport as a young man, Leighton combined his love for nutrition & natural medicine, his tech skills and knowledge, and mixed it with his entreprenurial mindset to develop his first business in Hong Kong. He tested his first prototype products on himself in 2016 with the aim for helping with inflammation (rather than low-carb) 13:35 - Sports Scientist & IRONMAN® Kona Age Group Record Holder & World Class Coach Dr. Dan Plews got involved with Leighton and they went through 17 iterations of their first nutrition training sports nutrition bar. ... the market for training drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup and refined grains 21:56 - Greg & Leighton discuss some of the highs and lows Leighton has had in the process of starting and building SFuels. The joy is in the journey ... 25:09 - Leighton is an Ultra-Marathon runner and discusses the various races he has competed in and the challenges of each race. It's one thing for a product to feel good taste good while youre sitting on a couch ... but when youre 6 hours into a ride run, how that thing tastes and it's texture can be quite different, so testing product in those duress situations has been an added bonus for Leighton and his scientific team. Don't forget to check out Any Question and ask Greg Bennett any question you want 28:30 - Leighton explains how they came up with the company name SFuels. 33:29 - When Zach Bitter decided to set the record for a sub 7 minute/mile over 100 miles during COVID lockdowns, Leighton saw it as an opportunity to run the event on social media and get the SFuels name out to the world. 30,000 people watched Zach live running on treadmill. 37:46 - Leighton describes how they were measuring and what improvements they saw in pro athletes and their Fat & Carbohydrate oxidation. The improvements saw athletes improve from 165 watts on the bike ... to 300 watts on the bike. Fat Oxidation x3 improvement - Power x2 improvement 41:22 - Leighton explains the meaning behind the SFuels slogan - Right Fuel - Right Time 45:01 - Not a high performance athlete? Leighton and SFuels definitely have product plans for the day-to-day nutrition customers. Greg & Leighton explain the product range and how you can tap into the benefits. 47:15 - Mitigate Gut Distress. Lower Inflammation Through efficient oxidation of fat for fuel, athletes do NOT need to over-consume sugar in races, mitigating Gut/GI distress and lowering inflammation. Gut repair and recovery 51:53 - The science is still catching up to understand the role of nutrients and how it affects heart rate variability.
