Most fitness advice is ten years behind the science or nearly all marketing. You’re either reading dense academic papers that take hours to decipher, or you're following hacks that have little-to-no physiological basis.

The Exercise Science podcast was built to close that gap. Kinesiologists Martin Gibala and Stuart Phillips believe that performance is a science, not a secret. Together, they digest the latest clinical trials, metabolic studies, and biomechanical reviews to give you the most persuasive whys and hows.

What We Cover:

• Hypertrophy and Strength: The molecular signaling behind muscle growth.

• Metabolic Health: Insulin sensitivity, Zone 2, and longevity.

• Bioenergetics: Optimizing the fuel for the work.

• Literature Reviews: We look at hot studies and stress-test the methodology.
  

Our Standard:

We don’t share uninformed opinions. If we can’t cite it, we don’t send it.
