On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy and lab-coat-wearing performance wizard, Dr. Andrew Koutnik. We talk about how to boost muscle performance, improve body composition, and feel like an athletic human without dumpster-firing your health.
We dig into cold water immersion (and when it can kick gains in the shins), blood glucose regulation, ketogenic diets, carbs (yes, they’re still awesome), and how to build metabolic flexibility that actually translates to better outcomes in the gym and life.
Andrew shares some killer insights from his research at Florida State University, especially around keto diets and athletic performance. If you’re curious about whether low-carb can help or hurt your performance, this is your jam.
If you want practical tools for a bigger physiological engine, tune in!
