    Ep. 156: Fueling for Success: Balancing Body Composition and Performance in Endurance Sports/Maia Watson

    In this episode: A rich dialogue unfurls in the Tri Doc podcast, where Jeff Sankoff and Juliet Hochman and Alex Larson tackle the intricate relationship between body composition, nutrition, and athletic performance. The episode serves as a platform to discuss how athletes can navigate the often treacherous waters of body image and performance expectations. Drawing from personal anecdotes and professional insights, Alex highlights the significant risks associated with under-fueling and the surprising lack of risks tied to over-fueling. This revelation is vital for athletes who may succumb to pressures for an 'ideal' physique, often leading to detrimental health outcomes such as RED-S, which can severely impact performance and well-being. Plus, a conversation with top age grouper and soon to be professional Maia Watson. She shares what it has been like to undertake her journey to the upper echelons of our sport in a short time.

    Ep. 155: Positive thinking and how it impacts performance/Michelle Bond; Unlocking the Power of Fascia: Why It's Essential for Athletes

    In this episode: At the commencement speech for Dartmouth College's graduates in June of this year, Roger Federer spoke eloquently on the power of positive thinking and how it enabled him to win close to 80% of his matches over the course of his career despite having lost almost half of the points that he played in those matches. Can athletes in other sports learn from his example and is there evidence to support this notion that being positive can affect outcomes? We discuss in the Medical Mailbag. Also, a conversation with Michelle Bond, a kinesiologist and researcher on the importance of understanding the fascia and how as athletes we can leverage that understanding to improve our performance and recovery.

    Ep 154: Which salt is best?/Fiona Moriarty

    In this episode: Everyone knows that sodium is an important component of sport nutrition but what form should it come in? For a long time sodium chloride was preferred but more recently sodium citrate is much more popular. Is there a reason for this change and is there evidence that one is better than the other? The Medical Mailbag discusses the evidence. Plus, Irish professional triathlete Fiona Moriarty comes from a running background but has distinguished herself as a cyclist. Hear how she made the transition to multisport and how she is making it all come together with a full-time job. Segments: [07:20]- Medical Mailbag: Which salt is best?

    Ep 153: Doping in triathlon, the 10% question

    In this episode: A widely read and much discussed media article out of Germany quoted researchers who surveyed athletes at the 2024 Challenge Roth on the use of performance enhancing drugs among age group triathletes. The results were somewhat disheartening. Around 10% admitted to using agents that would enhance performance and almost none had any qualms about it. What are these agents? What are the risks of using them? Should we care? The entire episode will be dedicated to try to answer these questions with the help of guests Jim Vance and Matt sharpe.

    Ep 152: Muscle typology and training variation/Kennon Heard, cardiac arrest survivor

    In this episode: Skeletal muscles are made up of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers each of which has differing properties. The amount of each fiber in muscle varies from person to person and while it is possible to determine this makeup, it is not so easy. The architecture of muscle in each individual is important in determining how a person can perform in different types of sports and also, how each will respond to training. Should people try to determine what their muscle typology is and adapt their training to it? We discuss in the Medical Mailbag. Kennon Heard is an emergency physician and endurance athlete who collapsed in cardiac arrest after a family fun run in May. He discusses his experience and how he is moving forward as well as how the rest of us should think about this experience in context of our own endurance pursuits as we age.

    Ep 151: Aging decline and gender variance?/Chris Bagg

    In this episode: It is a fact of life that as we age endurance performance inevitably declines. But do both genders decline at the same rate or, does one gender decline more slowly than the other? Hear what the research says on the Medical Mailbag. Plus, Chris Bagg is the head coach at Campfire Endurance and the writer of an article on whether or not we as triathletes should be focusing on hunting mice or antelope. Don't know what this means? You will and you will have a much better understanding of where to focus your energy and expenditures for training after listening to our conversation.
