In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Doug Goldstein for a deep dive into biomechanics, performance, and recovery. We get into the weeds on muscle performance, body comp, and how to reduce injury risk—stuff that matters whether you’re an elite athlete or just trying to move and feel better. We also explore some cutting-edge tools like Springbok Analytics and dive into how intramuscular dry needling can change muscle properties to enhance performance. Plus, we break down contralateral adaptations, mental performance strategies, and smart approaches to overload. Lots of real-world applications and case studies in this one — don’t miss it.

Hola from the sweat-slicked paradise of sunny Florida, where the only thing hotter than the weather is the brain-melting science flying around here at Day 1 of the ISSN Conference (that’s the International Society of Sports Nutrition, for the uninitiated).
