Sports Science Dudes

We've got a meaty show this week. Our special guest, Dr. David Church, takes us on an intriguing journey into protein stimulation and how this fascinating science brought us the Impossible Burger. Our co-host, Katie Emerson loves this burger. Though after this show, she may change her mind.
Hold on tight because we're not done yet! We take an unexpected turn into the world of anabolic steroids, specifically their role in muscle preservation within the military. It's a topic that's often shrouded in controversy, but we’re here to shed some light on it. So gear up, listeners, because this episode is packed with surprises!
