Nutritional Revolution (NR) was created when owner Kyla Channell saw that there was a true disconnect between daily nutrition and nutrition for athletes. Specifically on when and how to use specific fueling methods to achieve optimal performance as well as health in their sport. NR believes that any one person no matter their age, weight, or current struggle can make healthy changes to improve their well being and get closer to their goals through education, motivation, support, encouragement, and the right guidance. In this podcast, we go beyond food & nutrition; we also explore the best practices for better living.

    Deficit Without Decline: How Low Energy Rewires Muscle Protein and Mitochondria

    Send a text In episode #174 we discussed Dr. Jose Areta's latest research, including: How energy deficits influence muscle protein synthesis and qualityThe role of mitochondrial proteins and their upregulation during energy restrictionPractical implications for timing and periodization of caloric deficits in training cyclesHormonal signals and their interaction with muscle adaptation during energy deficitsAssociate Professor Dr. José L. Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José’s work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.

    Send a text In episode #168 we talked with Dr. Steven O'Bryan about Age and sex hormone impacts on female neuromuscular function and performanceHow muscle contractions and force can change over timePostmenopausal hormonal changes and muscle strength and contractilityDr Steven O’Bryan is an internationally recognised neuromuscular physiologist whose research explores how sex-specific ageing, age-related disease, acute exercise, and long-term training adaptations influence the integration between the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle. His work aims to develop innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance physical function and performance across the lifespan. Dr O’Bryan is an expert in a range of advanced neurophysiological techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and assessments of skeletal muscle force and power.
