Fasting, Heat and Do Endurance Athletes Have more Daughters?

We have a special guest host this week, Kristi Storoschuk joins the podcast again to help David while Xylon is away. After a listener question on fueling they jump into some research. They discuss some fascinating papers including the impact of heat on carbohydrate and glycogen utilisation rates, the effects of a 7 day fast on performance and a paper looking at whether endurance athletes have more daughters. They then step into Kristi’s world and look at a paper on mitochondria and why they are more than just the powerhouses of the cell!
