How & Why to Strengthen Your Heart & Cardiovascular Fitness | Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin

[@hubermanlab]

This is fantastic. So much valuable learning that one can apply to exercise and sport! Thank you, Dr. Galpin!

[@lukemaki4421]

Props to you for helping your friend with this podcast. A competing podcast that shows that you value your friendship with Dr. Galpin. You have skin in the game, as Nassim Taleb would say.

Dr Benjamin Levine thinks HRV is a poor signal and not worth paying attention to with no real evidence, thoughts?

An under appreciated aspect is that for people who never managed to go sign up to physiology study in the first place this source gets us on board. It is one thing to go through books - but a great mentor (professor in this case) highlighting the important bits is the other half. Through Huberman and Andy I feel like I am acquiring a physiology grade.

[@mtthwcorkins]

My favorite Huberman episodes were those in the Galpin series, so I’m excited to see he’s starting his own series!

[@Tninja17]

I've been watching and rewatching his podcasts from Huberman Lab, and for the longest time I was hoping one day he'd make his very own Masterclass as Dr. Galpin has this natural ability to explain and provide the right intuition for fundamental ideas in Fitness and Athletic Performance. Today is the day.

[@drandygalpin]

You bet!

[@DanielThomasArgueta]

Day One, here we go! I'll be listening to every podcast episode while either rucking, walking, or running. Thank you, Dr. Andy Galpin! 💪

Thank you to the automatic KZbin translator that allowed me to benefit from this podcast! I am an Arab person who does not master English.

[@phobiahavoc]

Very happy to see this from you, Dr. Galpin! Your series with Dr. Huberman has played a big role in me losing 60 lbs. and about 25% body fat in the last 6 months. I look forward to listening to the wealth of information you provide.

[@Ruudwardt]

The series you did with Huberman was a true gift to people. Finally your own gig. Looking forward to extract more. edit: 2 hours was not nearly enough for that topic and I know Andy, you have more to teach here. I would have appreciated even more in depth, but I understand many more casual listeners would be lost in process. Of particular interest and I dare say I speak to broad group of enthusiasts - is the recovery with regards to training modes and types. Already I learned a lot from this episode - last 8 weeks I re-introduced max out sprint (4..6 times attempting hr max uphill) into cross-country running (next to strength training, which is like breathing for me, no escape from that) - what I noticed quite quickly is how badly I recover from those intense running sessions. Hopefully you are able to go back to this with different angles of attack. I do not know better source of elite level knowledge on sports performance shared free. Eagerly looking forward to next episodes. Gratitude and feelings of enlightenment are oozing through me.

[@andrewkapsalis2195]

I have been waiting for this podcast channel for years! Dr. Galpin is the only guy I have watched multiple times over on the Huberman Lab and Dr. Peter Attia podcasts platforms. I can’t wait to learn even more actionable information for several aspects of a healthy life. You’re the man, Dr. Galpin. Thanks!

[@nothinbutms]

My dude has single HANDLEDLY changed my approach to training others in such a drastic way. It's actually concerning to me how many people approach their training now and I took off so much time to recalibrate my ability to actually help. Oppose to making it seem like I help. Thank you so much for the inspiration Mr.Gaplin!!!

Wow!! Amazing! I watched the entire series that Galpin made with Huberman. It was already so comprehensive! It is great to see that this new one will give us an entirely fresh approach! Loved the first topic! And also: it is great to see other amazing scholars following Huberman and sharing their knowledge with us. I have watched Huberman podcast for an year and a half, and it has changed my life so far. Thank you both!!!

Hi Dr. Galpin! Im so excited to listen to your podcast after your series with Andrew Huberman. Just one note- as a female listener I noticed that many results were presented first in males then female results were added as a comment at the end. Just as a token of recognition for inequity in the field, Id love to hear some results in female first! Or maybe more in depth notes highlighting how results differ across sex and why, not assuming male as default. Thanks, and Im excited to hear what you have coming up!

[@GerAM7]

Hearing Andy talk about physiology always puts a smile on my heart

[@jordancarey2075]

I loved your series on the Huberman podcast. After that I immediately began binge watching your older KZbin content and took so many notes. All to say, I’m excited for this new series! One topic I’d love for you to cover is Butekyo breathing. I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma growing up and I’ve always had trouble with cardiovascular endurance. After doing some research I came across Butekyo breathing as a solution to teach your body to be more oxygen efficient and thus improve cardiovascular endurance. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

[@BriandeWit-o1y]

I retired a year ago. I've been running 3 days/wk for 40+years, so had a reasonable aerobic base. My vo2 max started at 39. I added a strength training regimen to complement my running and also added rowing when I couldn't run. My vo2 max increased to 45 over the last year. Rhr has also dropped ~5bpm. 67 years old. Keep up the great work, Andy! BTW - I started 3x2min all out sprints at the end of my 1 hour aerobic rowing workout (70%max), but find this causes me to sleep less well. Allostatic disruption? Ideas?

[@arkmillworks]

Hi Andy, first I would like to thank you for your contributions in this area. The variables associated with Cardiovascular fitness that effect VO2 Max are numerous, and I truly don't know if we (perhaps "I") fully grasp the balance between VO2 and VO2 Max in power-based performance. Although the relevance between weight and volume oxygen uptake, is a basis for conversations related to VO2 Max. I believe that higher lean mass plays a significant role in VO2 Max calculations and health outcomes. It may also seam that we have skipped over the power-based athlete who also has to build strength and deliver power over a timed duration. This particular type will not have the same VO2 Max based on sear muscle mass. Does the outcome for these individuals worsted based on size with the same VO2 but not the same VO2 Max. I could Go on. Again Andy. You have brought a lot to individuals seeking insight in physiology. I hope that we are able to keep a balanced mindset when looking into our physiology and its performance effects. enjoyed your talk. If you get a chance to read this, thank you for your time.

[@pxp175]

Thank you for this. I found your approach to be not too science/detail heavy and easily understand to a person with no biology or physiology background. Well done!

[@breathe.move.perform.health]

Great first steps into the phenomenal world of our inner workings. Physiology is magically key and will be interesting to see how you unveil it to the public. Thanks! I do have one question related to stroke volume…it may not seem like much, but the contraction of the diaphragm seems very important in its role of returning blood back to the heart for the volume return…..and I often see the factor of a less functioning diaphragm has on respiratory rate and believe when the diaphragm is not able to fully return to its resting length with exhale, this makes for an inefficient “pump” affecting VO2max. Thoughts?

[@JDirty-w-tha-30]

Amazing content! Like you I had been concerned with performance rather than health all my time in fitness, but the data here presented is incredible! I'm seeing how interconnected health and performance are. It also seems like an untapped area for recovery, a huge asset to me as someone who seems to keep tweaking joints and muscles. I've only trained for cardio under direction of a physical therapist and it is really cool to see that resting heart rate go from 60 to sub 40 in 3-6 months. You can feel the increased ease of doing anything and everything!

[@lukasu.9153]

Wonderful that Dr. Galpin decide to create sport-science content! But one question: everyone's talking about running, cycling, rucking, swimming etc. to get your cardio. But what if I'm into a sport like tennis or soccer. Will just practicing these (with bit of attention to intensity) also strengthen my heart, building mitochondria etc. as good as an repetitive exercise like running?? If you hear to guys like Peter Attia you always have to hit the bike or stuff like that whick personally fir me is pretty boring and costs my additional time. would appreciate bitt more context to my question 😊

[@ojajebie]

Hey Andy, I was super impressed about your systems thinking approach (I think it was about sleeping?) that you showed on Tim Ferris podcast.

Would highly appreciate a "Sprinting 101" episode ❤️ the info online on form and tehnique is sparce and divided

[@Michael-hl8qu]

Thanks! Such a wonderful opportunity to learn in depth about physical fitness from a really great educator. I truly appreciate it! However, one big issue I have with this first episode is the lack of discussion about causality between cardiorespiratory fitness and mortality. CRF may be the best (of the ones studied) metric for longevity, but it does not say so much about causality. It could be (or not) that a high CRF is a really good indicator that you have less of other adverse conditions (like diabetes, high BMI etc) and that it is the absence of these other conditions that is the most important factor for your longevity rather than CRF per se. This is acknowledged in the “Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mortality…” paper. I acknowledge that working on getting better CRF is a good way of lowering the risks for diabetes, high BMI etc but maybe not the only way...

Dr. Galpin, I have a question for you: During the guest series podcast with Dr. Huberman (awesome podcasts, congrats!), you mentioned that speed work/VO2Max workouts should be non-tiring. I would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit further on this (is high volume at high intensity counterproductive? If so, why? What is the maximum number of intervals/duration of total workout recommended?, can different sessions such as sprints + a metcon class be combined for running strengthening and full body strengthening?, etc...) either by responding to this comment or in any further opportunity you might have. Many thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge!

[@KiaAsakura]

For a future podcast, I'd really like to know how long the adaptations from exercise "stick". We have some on muscles and strength, but I'm really curious on the "cardiovascular" adaptations (V02 max, capillarization, muscle fibre types, and stroke volume). I powerlift, now, but I did a LOT of cardio in the past. I have a lot of endurance, and while I'm not primed, I can still keep up with my "fitter" friends on hikes, can still run a 10km without stopping, and don't really get out of breath all that easily compared to other lifters. It's probably been years since I was really dedicated to cardio/HIT.
