The Science of Ketones, Lactic Acid and More w/ Dr. Eddie Jo

Dr. Eddie Jo, PhD, CSCS*D, CISSN is Professor of Sport and Exercise Physiology Director of the Human Performance Research Lab at Cal Poly Pomona University in Southern California.
Dr. Jo’s expertise is in neuromuscular physiology, energy metabolism, and endocrinology, and he has dedicated much of his research to innovating the science and application of training methodologies, nutritional programming, and dietary supplementation to achieve optimal health and performance.
Dr. Jo has become “instafamous” (@dr.eddiejo) with the help of our friend, Dr. Andy Galpin (@drandygalpin), who shared Dr. Jo’s unique, easy-to-read, scientific infographics.
In this episode, we look into why lactate is actually good for you, how pain is protecting you, the role of endogenous ketones, performance possibilities of exogenous ketones, and much more. Enjoy!
-Mike, Doug and Anders

Absolutely brilliant this man knows his stuff and talks a lot of sense really enjoyed the podcast

[@hockeyculturetrainingsyste2560]

I think people get the wrong idea of what Science is. And as expected, Dr. Jo did a solid job in explaining it but I want to reiterate what I have learned from other as well (1) Science is not 1 study. (2) Science is the understanding of a certain topic (3) A study is data. It is evidence. (4) The more evidence you have, the better conclusion you can come up with (5) Scientists don't talk in absolutes. (6) A study / Evidence is not GOOD or BAD per say. It is on a spectrum. You have very convincing evidence, you have not so very convincing. (This typically falls in the order of Expert's Opinion ----> Observational Studies ------> RCT ----> Meta Analysi. This is debatable, but you should get the idea). (7) When you come up with a scientific conclusion - it should be a collection of this data and evidence to help you come up with a better understanding of the topic at hand. A lot of studies out there are very specific to certain situations. But we take them as general blanket statements to be adopted by everyone. A lot of the fault is the media. Media have a horrid time in analyzing data, don't have experience in Research Studies, and have a biased view point to sell headlines. Another problem can be doctors, who have their own issues... but we take a lot of the advice of these medical experts for their opinion on EVERYTHING. Another problem is online. As you know. But all of these also have good to it. With this said. Having a general understanding of this. Following the expert's opinion in their field. Comparing that opinion to other experts. Doing your due diligence will help you come up with a better decision.

Well said. I like what I believe Andy Galpin said "Science doesn't prove anything, it helps to get rid of the uncertainty." There is a brilliant podcast episode on the topic by Danny Lennon, Sigma Nutrition: "#251: What is Science". Highly recommended to anyone who wants to dig into that. Strength and Love, Thomas

take a shot every time eddie jo says ''you know''! Gr8 video!

[@christopherirvine9700]

Coffee book table! Dr. Jo you need to do this! I would for sure recommend it to my students and buy one for our lab!

This information is so old, look back into 1920s, a lot of it stems from research back from this time. Put the dots together, Otto Warburg, Warburg effect, the Cori cycle, Lactic acidosis (old definition), Glycolysis. The greatest Physiologist is Otto Warburg.

[@iliapanev1687]

Ok really good episode. The only thing that Eddie thought he knew about but he didn't, was about the muscle soreness recoery tips, which was just good nutrition and rest. Well to me doing some low intensity work has been a game changer when it comes to muscle recovery, and not only me many other people. So... don't just rest, do some work, it'll heal faster.

[@lukasdreher4843]

bloodflow to the area certainly helps, however; when giving advice online - tell people to "good nutrition, rest & low intensity work" and you can bet your ass people will find a way to fuck up with the intensity and just create more stress... it would've been nice if it was mentioned, but I kinda also understand why he didnt, if he consciously decided not to.

[@joshuagaines2888]

I feel like I learn more from you guys than I learn from my professors. And it only costs me an ad......

[@hockeyculturetrainingsyste2560]

Why are these sponsors getting worse? It's not the product. It's the approach. "Love it". "Do it" "We can't talk enough about it" "Red Juice, go buy it" Let's start with Myth #1. The value of these juices. lol

[@natedertel4101]

Kind of absurd to say that Keto is just now hitting bodybuilding. Dan Duchaine put out a cyclical ketogenic diet book for bodybuilding 20 years ago that was quite popular at the time.

[@randolphgovinden9283]

Keto has been in bodybuilding for years and years...it's the ignorant crossfit cunts like this doctor who think this kind of stuff is only now hitting bodybuilding.These are the same ignorant cunts who think the brand CROSSFIT invented functional exercises or strength and conditioning.
