| 12/4/25 |  Episode 101 - Small Buffers, Big Edge with Eli Shannon PhD | Ever wonder how a legal buffer can shave nearly a minute off a 40K time trial? We sit down with freshly minted PhD Eli Shannon to unpack the science and the tactics behind sodium bicarbonate, from the lab to the start line. Eli explains why an hour-long ride is anything but steady state and how surges, climbs, and late-race kicks amplify the value of buffering hydrogen ions when it matters most. We dig into the numbers: an average 1.4% improvement for trained male cyclists, translating to ab... | 34m 20s | ||||||

With Dr. Alyssa Parten and Dr. Antonella Schwartz, we get honest about where women’s physiology matters, where it doesn’t. We dive into the truth behind “lift heavy.” Heavy is relative to your experience, and strength lives on a spectrum. You’ll hear how to use RPE and r... | 42m 08s | ||||||
