Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Blood. Outside of acting, my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast,

we're going to talk about all of it. Food is entertainment, food is sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person, just like you and me.

I hate to ask you to do anything, but if you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to like,

subscribe, rate, review, all of the above on whatever app you're getting from.

Today on the show, I'm talking to Dr. Andy Galpin. He is a professor and scientist of human

performance. He wrote the book Unplugged and he is a total badass. I find myself looking to him

for all kinds of answers to questions that I have, whether that's listening to him on podcasts,

watching him on YouTube or just reading the things that he writes. You can find him on Instagram

at Dr. Andy Galpin. Dr. Andy Galpin, welcome to the American Glutton podcast.

It's a pleasure to be here, man. I just got to let the audience know I spent the last five minutes

discussing over all of your career work. I won't do it again, but just let you guys know I'm such

a huge fan of yours. Now it's my turn to gush over your work and your mind and then the fact that I

derive a lot of my knowledge from listening to you. So thank you. It's an honor, man.

You're a college professor. Yeah, my real job, I'm a full 10-year professor at Cal State Fullerton.

I run the Center for Sport Performance there, which is a research facility and we've got a

bunch of different labs and our job is to study any and all things human performance.

Okay, I understand that if somebody is going to get a degree in this, they need to go to college.

But a lot of the data that I assume you teach in school, you also give away on YouTube,

on your website, in podcasts, like what we're going to do right now, we're going to get data from

a college professor. Is there no conflict here? This is probably a ton of conflict. I don't care.
