Episode 27A - Interview with Dr. Jeff Stout and Dr. Tim Ziegenfuss

Timeline
4:30 – How the sports supplements/nutrition category has evolved in academia and industry – Stout and Ziegenfuss. The scientific community wasn’t supportive. Industry leaders? EAS? Gatorade technically is a supplement but the powers that be didn’t classify it as such.
9:25 – Once you work in the industry, you’ll never get back into academia – one of the big LIES pure academicians will tell you.
14:07 – Tony Ricci’s experience with Pfizer; a funny story. Total cholesterol as a sole marker for CVD is total bullshit.
20:27 – Collagen protein – good for what exactly? If it helps or has a neutral effect, try it!
23:23 – Beta-alanine – why not just take carnosine? And how to avoid the pins and needles effect?
27:38 – Dr. Z has an answer for eliminating or attenuating the paresthesia!
28:42 – Dr. Z says that Roger Harris PhD says the carnosine is good for helping your hangover from excess drinking.
29:27 – Anserine, Balenine – cousins to carnosine – (not beta-alanine as Dr. A said).
31:51 – Beta-alanine and Creatine – thoughts on using it for weight class athletes (i.e., fighters).
37:35 – Thoughts on HMB – why is there such an odd emotional response to HMB? It does have an application particularly if you are old, underfed, or training like a maniac. It ain’t like DECA!
46:31 – Why not leucine rather than HMB?
48:46 – There is a utility to BCAAs vis a vis attenuating DOMS
51:00 – Cold water immersion – does it help? Does it help reduce fat mass?
56:05 – Supplement recommendations from Drs. Z and Stout
