What's up, motivators? Welcome to the Terran's Motive Method podcast. Today we have a very interesting

guest, Dr. Patrick Davitt, who is a researcher specifically in energy metabolism. This is a huge thing

that us endurance athletes need to understand. Now, specifically, why we wanted to bring Dr. Davitt

on is because he has been dabbling in some of the most

well-known studies for low-carb training, but then he's also started walking his way back,

being, say, a more moderate person saying that, yes, low-carb has its place in some certain scenarios, but also carbs have their

place in other scenarios. And there are things like you can, which is full disclosure, a sponsor of

ours, not a sponsor of this podcast, but they did put us in touch with Patrick here. And there

are things like you can that burn well, basically just looking at what's happening

with energy metabolism, what is happening in the body of people that are doing ultra-endurance

events in order to produce energy.

And what is the best way to produce energy?

And in a lot of cases, it is controlling your blood glucose with things like timing carbs.

Sometimes you have them.

Sometimes you don't.

And maybe switching some of your carbs to something like you can.

And he's going through all of the studies just to actually show what's going on in the body.

And I really, really like this because he's peeled it back from a very staunch low carb approach to a more

moderate approach.

Now, before we get into the podcast, we have to thank our sponsors today.

It being a podcast very much about a balanced approach and a healthy approach to fueling

your endurance.
