He is a Certified Nutritionist and completed his MD at Technical University Munich. He specialises in Sports Medicine, Endocrinology and Preventive Medicine, and had an affiliation with the College of Applied Health Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago. He is Editor-in-Chief of Progress in Preventive Medicine, Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine and Fellow of the European Society of Preventative Medicine. Dr Sagner was the medical director and attending physician at University of Hamburg Medical Center, section for Preventive Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine where he was the Director. He then co-founded a private clinic group and research institute for cardiology, metabolism, endocrinology, preventive medicine and sports medicine where he looks after elite athletes and executives. As a clinician he has spearheaded interventions in the field of endocrinology and cardiometabolic prevention such as the use of GLP1 agonists in Europe. His focus is on interdisciplinary approaches, looking at the systems of the human body as part of an integrated whole, incorporating biochemical, physiological, and environment interactions and translating these systems biology principles into clinical practice. He works on the convergence of systems biology and consumer-driven healthcare to transform medicine from its current reactive approach to an approach that is predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory (P4). As a public health expert, he has spearheaded several international initiatives in the field of systems biology driven preventive medicine working with governments and NGOs. One of his interests is closing the gap between clinical practice and public health to promote more effective and patient-oriented care and preventive interventions. For that he has collaborated with many NGOs such as the World Heart Federation (WHF), the World Obesity Federation and the World Health Organization (WHO) where he established the ‘cell to community’ approach in prevention. Dr Sagner is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the European Society of Preventive Medicine, and partner of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging. He was a member of the European Union Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health, and the UK All-Parliamentary Group for Longevity. His areas of research are: Advanced Preventive Medicine, Systems Medicine, Metabolism, Noncommunicable Diseases, Longevity, Muscle Physiology and Cardiometabolism and has published numerous articles in this area.

We had a fun discussion about the current state of science vis a vis Squats vs. Hip Thrusts See this paper for more information: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.21.545949v2 Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadlift Timeline: 00:23 – About our special guest, Bret Contreras PhD 1:48 – Boca Raton is one big Seinfeld episode 3:48 – Bret explains how this study came about 3:56 – The infamous Barbalho investigation – Bret says the data is too clean 12:18 – Gluteus medius and minimus didn’t grow 13:00 – Gluteus maximus growth was the same between hip thrusts and squats despite the fact that sEMG data showed much greater activity when doing hip thrusts 13:56 – No hamstring growth in either group 14:11 – Quads and Adductors grew more for the squat group 14:30 – Strength gains were specific to the exercise – principle of specificity 15:00 – Both groups gained similar strength in deadlift and wall push 16:12 – Just do both exercises if the goal is skeletal muscle hypertrophy 17:57 – Sprinters have the best hamstring development – Bret opines 19:14 – Upper glute size – in the hip thrust group, you had 3 hyper-responders, but then you had 3 that actually experienced muscle atrophy. And you also had 3 that didn’t respond at all. So 1/3rd of the subjects had no response! 19:42 – Middle Glute size – in the hip thrust group, one individual actually atrophied. 20:45 – Squats produced much more consistent results 21:37 – Bret is now quite suspicious of EMG data in predicting skeletal muscle hypertrophy 26:12 – Bret talks about how training has changed or not; for men, not so much. For women, it has changed a bit. 26:40 – Focus on the basics: squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts, chin ups, military press, and bench press 27:10 – Glute training is emphasized a lot more these days, particularly in women 31:13 – Targeting the Adductor Magnus! Folks seem to ignore this large muscle and focus on Quads or Hams 33:44 – Opening your hips – means hip abduction with external rotation 38:48 – For athletes, Tony opines on these issues 46:20 – In trained men and women, would there be a difference in hip thrusts vs. squats 46:36 – In the real world, nobody volume-equates hip thrusts vs. squats 47:10 – You can do more volume with hip thrusts than squats; so a study comparing them in trained people would necessarily result in greater volume in the hip thrust group 50:11 – Of course, doing both squats and hip thrusts would work better 51:13 – Volume equating training in the endurance world makes no sense either 54:30 – Bret has a bad ass gym in Fort Lauderdale. Don’t stop by unless you want bigger glutes.

Our guest: STACY T. SIMS, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk. Her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry has established a new niche in sports nutrition; and established her reputation as the expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. As a direct result, she has been named: • One of the top 50 visionaries of the running industry (2015) by DMSE Sports. • One of the top 40 women changing the paradigm of her field (2017) by Outside Magazine. • One of the top four visionaries in the outdoor sports industry (2017) by Outside Magazine - Genius Issue (no electronic version but here is the proof). • One of the top four individuals changing the landscape in triathlon nutrition (2017) by Triathlete Magazine Dr. Sims has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by USOC and USA Cycling. Stacy currently holds a Senior Research Associate position with SPRINZ- AUT University, supervises PhD students, writes academic papers, and is on the advisory board of some cutting edge companies including Tonal Strength Institute, WILD.AI, and EXOS. She also has her own business (www.drstacysims.com) where she creates and delivers online learning material focused on women training with their physiology across the lifespan.

Timeline 00:00 – About Stacy Sims PhD – scientist, author, former collegiate rower, endurance athlete extraordinaire (former professional cyclist). 3:36 – How Dr. Sims visualized and actualized the ISSN’s Position Paper, Full article: International society of sports nutrition position stand: nutritional concerns of the female athlete (tandfonline.com). 5:24 – Women are not small men – there are clear sex differences starting at the beginning of life as explained by Dr. Sims 7:10 – That annoying term, “metabolic flexibility.” Well, you wouldn’t be alive if you weren’t metabolically flexible. 8:57 - Perimenopause and Menopause period – hormonal changes during this time – how does this affect a female athlete’s training. Why do women gravitate towards the ultra-long distance events? 15:33 – Dr. Sims recommends that women do more sprint interval training, more high intensity interval training (HIIT) 16:10 – the “typical” male endurance training program of 80% LSD (long slow distance) and 20% HIIT or SIT doesn’t apply to women; instead, focus on intensity and less so on LSD. 19:25 – Dr. Sim’s loves plyos! We all need to do more of this; it complements resistance training. 24:06 - How much strength do women lose each decade; how do you convince women that lifting weights won’t make you large? 24:23 – Women, you have two choices when you are 80 years old; do you want to live in assisted living or be a fully independent person? 29:30 – Some adaptogens that Dr. Sims loves for women – ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, and schisandra 33:14 - Other more “traditional” supplements – iron, calcium, anti-oxidants (no!), creatine, caffeine, etc. Supps women should take! 36:00 – Just taking calcium won’t help bone mineral density! 36:45 – Don’t take anti-oxidant supplements! Not good. 38:21 - Creatine and caffeine – Women should ALL take CREATINE dangit!! 41:33 - Gut health – what are the benefits of having a healthy gut microbiome – what can we do to insure our gut health? 44:25 – American grocery stores are full of shit food! No wonder Americans are so unhealthy; 3 out of every 4 Americans are fat. 47:10 – Stacy’s training from high school until now. She was a x-country runner, rower (Purdue University), triathlons (iron man), cycling, xterra racing; she loves gravel racing too! Our guest: STACY T.

Our guest: STACY T. SIMS, MSC, PHD, is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. She has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book (ROAR) written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk. Her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry has established a new niche in sports nutrition; and established her reputation as the expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. As a direct result, she has been named: • One of the top 50 visionaries of the running industry (2015) by DMSE Sports. • One of the top 40 women changing the paradigm of her field (2017) by Outside Magazine. • One of the top four visionaries in the outdoor sports industry (2017) by Outside Magazine - Genius Issue (no electronic version but here is the proof). • One of the top four individuals changing the landscape in triathlon nutrition (2017) by Triathlete Magazine Dr. Sims has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by USOC and USA Cycling. Stacy currently holds a Senior Research Associate position with SPRINZ- AUT University, supervises PhD students, writes academic papers, and is on the advisory board of some cutting edge companies including Tonal Strength Institute, WILD.AI, and EXOS. She also has her own business (www.drstacysims.com) where she creates and delivers online learning material focused on women training with their physiology across the lifespan.

Timeline 00:00 About Dr. Mike Ormsbee – Did you know he played collegiate hockey? 5:34 – What prompted Mike to start examining the role of pre-sleep feeding – a cool story 8:43 – Muscle protein synthesis (acute data) vs. the important metrics such as body composition and performance 11:12 – Whey, casein, vs. plant-based proteins – does it matter what you consume pre-sleep? 14:20 – Two participants got rhabdo from 150 reps (eccentric reps with each leg)! 23:10 – Does not matter what you consume before you go to bed. The AUC is the same with whey vs. casein 24:00 - Are there any negative implications with sleep vis a vis pre-sleep feeding? Will more protein enhance sleep? 28:00 – Pre-sleep feeding of super starch! Does it help performance? 32:50 – Dietitians thought Mike was lying about super starches …lol 34:40 – Type of carbs pre-race? Does it matter? Depends on the length of the race 37:02 - Collagen protein – does it help pain? Or does it help as a protein source? Doing a 9 month study took 4 years! 10 grams better than 20 grams? Hmm… 47:38 – Betaine – will this help those exercising in the heat? Very interesting. Dose? 50 mg per kg.

“Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists (also known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, incretin mimetics, or GLP-1 analogs) represent a class of medications used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and, in some cases, obesity. Examples of drugs in this class include exenatide, lixisenatide, liraglutide, albiglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide. According to the American Diabetes Association, metformin remains the preferred first-line therapy for treating type 2 diabetes. However, the addition of a GLP-1 analog should be considered in patients with a contraindication or intolerance to metformin, in patients with a hemoglobin A1c greater than 1.5% over target, or in patients who do not reach their target A1c in three months, particularly in patients with atherosclerosis, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease.” (Collins and Costello, 2023).
