Episode 35A - Great conversation with Mike Ormsbee PhD FACSM FISSN
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.
