Gut Microbiome fact vs. fiction
Have you considered inviting Dr. William Davis as a guest on The Drive? He is a fascinating cardiologist researching the gut microbiome and specifically the effects of L-reuteri on skin, libido, testosterone, intestinal dysbiosis, etc. Of course you'll know him from his book, Wheat Belly, and latest publication, Super Gut. We hear so much about the gut microbiome, but separating fact from fiction and knowing how to support the gut microbiome with evidence-based practices would be extremely helpful for me and hopefully for all your listeners and subscribers. It's murky waters out there in the land of the gut microbiome. Clarity please!
Exercise recommendations pre and post ACL reconstruction surgery?
If you knew you were going to have ACL surgery in two months, and let's assume you can move mostly as normal in this time, how would you change your exercise regimen before surgery to increase your likelihood of a better recovery? Does it matter? Also, how would you adapt your exercise regimen in the short-term post surgery? and does this change based on the type ACL surgery you have? (i.e if they use your patellar tendon, or hamstring, and if they do a stabilising procedure with it like a modified Lemaire lateral extra-articular tenodesis)
Zone 2 realtime assessment with Sm02 monitoring.
With devices like the Moxy monitor now allowing consumers realtime monitoring of Sm02 (saturation 02 in muscle capillaries) have you been tempted to get a more accurate assessment of your aerobic realtime threshold versus say sporadic blood lactate measurements looking for 2mmoL lactate steady state?
