🇺🇸 #43 Leucine, mTOR, and WODs: How Muscles Sense Growth with Dr. Gommar D'Hulst

How do your muscles actually know when to grow?

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Gommar D’Hulst (@wod_science), a CrossFit enthusiast and PhD in muscle biology, to unpack the science of performance. From amino acids like leucine and the mTOR pathway, to oxygen sensing, recovery, and nutrition strategies for WODs, we connect cutting-edge research with real-life training.

Whether you’re an athlete chasing PRs, a coach guiding others, or just a science nerd who loves CrossFit, this conversation gives you practical takeaways backed by biology.
