Very excited about your book!

Do you know any resources of people who study metabolic flexibilidad interventions for mental health or cognitive performance in non athlete populations?

thank you so much!

unfortunately I do not have useful pointers outside athlete population at this stage, I’ll message back if I find something useful

Really excited about your new book Heart Rate Variability: Science and Strategies for Peak Performance

Clear thinking around HRV is more needed than ever, especially when it comes to translating physiology into real-world practice. Looking forward to reading it.

Does having high fax oxidation rates make it to where exogenous carbohydrates pack even more of a lunch when ingested? I've heard it stated before that they begin to operate (ex carbs) as a turbo of sorts. Hope my question makes. Thank you for your work and insights. 🙏

I see what you mean, I think you can feel that way, just because instead of running always on a carb-deficit, you are relying on a solid base of fat, and using carbs when needed (higher intensity and/or longer duration), and as such it can certainly feel different wrt the constant intake you’d need when unable to use fat as fuel
