Medical Sports Nutrition
A review of the Sports Nutrition literature with Dr Andy Matheson. Dr Matheson is practicing Family Doctor and ISSN certified Sports Nutritionist. Dr Matheson discusses which breakthroughs will give us that edge we are looking for, and which will be a waste of precious time and money.
The podcast covers the new developments in the field of Sports Nutrition and how these might impact our health and performance. It demonstrates how a medical professional will review articles to assess if the discoveries from the published trials and research are suitable for their particular patients.
This podcast is a lighthearted review of the medical literature and Dr Matheson has enormous respect for all scientific researchers and could not do a job as hard as theirs.

#26 - Flavonoids - good for ageing but not much evidence for athletes. Also - I'm not lazy coach, it's my microbiome.
Firsty a smattering of proof that flavonoids are great for managing ageing changes, but still no good evidence they help our athletes perform any better. Then a nice microbiome paper that tells us why some mice seem to be lazier than others. Can we stretch this to human athletes? Also we ask where can we shoehorn in continuous glucose monitors - it looks fancy and must be useful for our patients....
Apologies for forgetting the name of a leading UK Medical Nutrition Academic - of course it was Prof T Spector.
