Season 6 Trailer - The Podium
00:03:26
Dr. Sprouse, Patrick and the Podium Podcast are back!
Season Six kicks off on Monday, February 21st. We've got new show music, a new sponsor for the season, six new episodes featuring conversations on injury recovery, breathing, golf fitness, annual training plans, winter immunity, and a listener Q&A!
We look forward to you joining us for another great season!
We often overlook the unconscious act of breathing, yet mounting evidence points to the significant effect this activity has on our health and performance. I have wanted to delve into this on the podcast for some time, but we needed to find the right expert to interview.
I am thrilled to have Mike Watts on the podcast for this episode! Mike is an Oxygen Advantage Master Instructor and serves as the Director of Global Athlete Performance at Under Armour. He has worked in the English Premier League, as well as at the national team level for China and England. He is a wealth of knowledge on all things performance! This conversation was a great one!
This is the time of year when athletes, recreational and elite, plan for the upcoming competition season(s). In this episode, Dr. Sprouse and Patrick discuss how to address this topic as an athlete, with a goal of happy and healthy performance.
Episode 4 of this season of The Podium is actually a rebroadcast of a conversation I had with Ted King on his King of the Ride podcast. I worked with Ted on pro cycling’s World Tour, and it’s been a pleasure to continue the relationship since. Conversations with him are always some of my favorite. Ted describes himself as a “Professional World Tour bike racer turned professional bike rider.” He now races across the US in numerous events each year, serving as an ambassador for cycling in general. He also has his own (delicious!) nutrition company called Untapped. Listen in as we discuss his recovery from a recent elbow injury, including the physical and psychological aspects that all recovering athletes deal with.
Tom is the Senior Golf Fitness Specialist at one of the country’s premier golf facilities, and he works with numerous PGA Tour players. Tom has extensive academic training and real-world experience across multiple sports. This was a wide-reaching conversation from one of the most beautiful locations we’ve yet been able to record!
In this season’s Q&A episode, Dr. Sprouse and Patrick address your questions on heat acclimation, supplement support protocols, changes in run form based on effort, nutritional periodization (like a weight-loss block or muscle building block), and regular cardiac screening in endurance athletes.
A big thanks to our season 6 sponsor, Klean Athlete, and our loyal listeners. Stay tuned for some bonus pods as we prepare for season 7 of the podcast!

00:02:48
Introduction to The Podium and what is to come in Season One.
01 Jun 2020
2. Recovery versus Adaptation
00:45:05
The concepts of "recovery" and "adaptation" are often confused by athletes and coaches alike. Though not mutually exclusive, optimizing for one will often lead to a decline in the other. In this episode, we talk about when to target recovery, when to aim for adaptation, and how to ensure you do this successfully.
01 Jun 2020
1. Daily Fueling Strategies
00:41:43
As athletes, our daily activities often vary. One day may involve a long aerobic workout. Another may consist of high intensity intervals, or recovery, or travel. A day sitting in your office will look different still. Too frequently though, dietary intake does not change to support these varied activities. On this episode we will discuss how to structure your diet to support your day, regardless of what is in store.
01 Jun 2020
3. Creatine
00:40:38
Many are familiar with creatine as a supplement used by bodybuilders and power athletes. Recent research has shown that it may have benefit for endurance athletes and even for cognitive performance.
01 Jun 2020
4. Fasting
00:49:09
Fasting has become mainstream. Whether it's longer fasts of days without food, or simply compressing your feeding window (known as Time Restricted Eating or "Intermittent Fasting"), everyone seems willing to give this a shot. On this episode, we delve into the science behind fasting and whether it might be a useful tool to add to your regimen.
01 Jun 2020
5. Ketosis and Ketones
00:39:29
From a ketogenic diet to ketone supplements (aka "exogenous ketones"), we discuss where potential benefits and pitfalls lie with respect to health and performance.
02 Jun 2020
6. Interview with Dr. Allen Lim
01:07:28
I had the pleasure of sitting down for a (remote) conversation with Dr. Allen Lim, renowned sports scientist and founder of Skratch Labs. Allen is always one of my favorite people to talk to, as he's such a wealth of knowledge and insight. This conversation was recorded while maintaining our social distance at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, so please excuse the sub-par audio. I promise you, while the audio may not be first-rate, the content in this one certainly is!
08 Sep 2020
Season 2 Trailer
00:02:29
Season 2 of The Podium is about to be launched! In this season, we will address:
- HRV (Heart Rate Variability) as a measure of recovery - Glucose metabolism for health and performance - Sleep - Caffeine as a performance aid
We'll also have two great interviews to share with you. Six more episodes of The Podium are coming your way, in Season 2.
11 Sep 2020
1. Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
00:53:31
Heart Rate Variability (or "HRV") is the metric which elite athletes are following daily to assess their recovery and plan their daily training. The science around HRV dates back many decades, but only recently has this become something we can all easily measure. Whether you are aiming to compete at the highest level or simply perform in daily life, might HRV be the guide you have been looking for?
11 Sep 2020
2. Glucose Metabolism for Health and Performance
01:01:50
Glucose, or "blood sugar", is a variable which can change significantly throughout our day. Those kinetics are a major determinant of our health and of our athletic performance. In this episode, we review the basics and talk about the most effective ways to measure and impact our blood glucose levels.
11 Sep 2020
3. Sleep Basics
01:03:24
Sleep. It seems so simple, but sleep is often an overlooked determinant of health and performance. The recognition of this importance is growing, and for some, the pendulum may have even swung too far the other way. In episode 3 of this season on The Podium, we dig into the science of sleep, how it affects us, and what we can do to ensure we have the best plan for optimizing our daily sleep and recovery.
11 Sep 2020
4. Caffeine as a Performance Aid
00:59:09
Caffeine is the most frequently consumed psycho-active substance in the world. It has been studied for decades, and it's benefit for sports performance is well-documented. Even so, few understand the pros and cons of using caffeine for performance. We'll dig into the science and help you understand how your cup of coffee may positively impact your next 5K.
08 Sep 2020
COVID Review and Update
01:20:06
The amount of misinformation and politicized skewing of data has been both amazing and disheartening. In this episode, I dig into the questions that I am most frequently asked by patients. For some, there are answers. For others, it is not black and white. The goal is to step away from the political-year confusion and look at what we currently know about the pandemic. I'm no virologist or epidemiologist, but this has been an issue that has been at the forefront of elite sports in recent months. I won't pretend to be an expert. This is just my honest take on things to date.
11 Sep 2020
5. Keeping the Pros Fit and Healthy
01:26:14
While at the PGA's Memorial Tournament in Dublin, OH, I got to sit down with two of the top trainers and physios in professional sports. Adam Kerley, Nic Catterall, and I sat down with tacos and bourbon to talk through all aspects of high performance. These two are a wealth of knowledge, and their insight is valuable to athletes competing in any sport or discipline.
Adam Kerley is a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and certified strength and conditioning specialist who has worked with collegiate and professional athletes across multiple sports. He now spends much of his time traveling with professional golfers on the PGA Tour.
Nic Catterall (https://www.cattogolf.com/) is an Australian high-performance coach, specializing in Musculoskeletal Therapy and Strength & Conditioning for professional golfers on the PGA Tour in the U.S. With over five years of tour experience, plus 10 years of clinical and industry experience across multiple sporting codes, Nic takes a tailored approach to each athlete he works with.
11 Sep 2020
6. Joe Gambino - Performance Physiology
00:53:07
On this episode, I share with you a recording of the Par Four Performance podcast on which I was a guest. I spoke with Joe Gambino, physical therapist in New York City, to discuss how the tenets of physiologic performance play out across multiple sports, from triathlon to golf. Even if you are not a golfer, there is good info in here for you. https://joegambinodpt.com/par-four-performance/
02 Nov 2020
COVID, Athletes, and the Heart
00:24:47
Dr. Aaron Baggish joins us to talk about the cardiac complications and evaluation of athletes who have had COVID. Aaron is the Director of the Cardiac Performance Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, and is a globally-recognized expert on all aspects of sports cardiology. The international guidelines around COVID and heart evaluations have been written and revised by Dr. Baggish and his colleagues, so in my desire to dig into this topic more deeply, it only made sense to go straight to Aaron.
17 Nov 2020
1. Morning Routines
00:43:35
Morning Routines have become the subject of many articles and discussions in the popular media of late, and for good reason. Having a routine can ensure that you start each day on the right foot. However, such practices risk becoming overly complicated and counterproductive in some instances. In this episode, we look at Morning Routines and how they can be beneficial. In order to explore the topic and examine the vast differences among successful individuals, we gathered input from some very successful people across multiple walks of life. Thanks to these folks for submitting audio contributions and sharing their routines, no matter how seemingly simple!
Here's a list of who joined us for this episode:
3:09 - Dylan Frittelli (PGA Professional) 4:15 - Scott Holtzman (UFC Fighter) 11:08 - Will Ahmed (CEO of WHOOP) 12:18 - Jimmy Whelan (Pro Cyclist, EF Pro Cycling) 24:10 - Dr. Allen Lim (Exercise Physiologist, Founder of Skratch Labs) 25:16 - Alex Howes (Pro Cyclist, US National Champ., EF Pro Cycling) 38:03 - Mike Woods (Pro Cyclist, EF Pro Cycling) 38:07 - Jeff Byers (CEO of Amp Human)
17 Nov 2020
2. Overtraining
01:00:31
The term "Overtraining" gets thrown around a lot, often inappropriately. There seems to be a good deal of confusion around this issue and the associated physiologic processes. In this episode, we dig into the continuum of Overtraining Syndrome (OTS)...Functional Overreaching, Non-Functional Overreaching, Overtraining. What are the symptoms of each stage along this continuum? How is this diagnosed? How do you treat an athlete with OTS, and more importantly, how can an athlete avoid a state where exercise becomes detrimental?
17 Nov 2020
3. Focus and Cognition
01:04:11
Athletes rely on a sharp mind and disciplined focus in order to perform at their best. These attributes are crucial to the execution of a game plan. For those of us who don't make a living competing in professional sports, these are also necessary tools. We all benefit when our mind is clear and our focus is unshakable. In this episode, we look at how we can train and support mental Focus and Cognition every day.
17 Nov 2020
4. Periodization
00:49:40
No person can sustain a "pedal to the metal" pace of training for 52 weeks per year. An effective training plan allows for times of increased load, as well as for recovery. A given year or season must incorporate encouragement of varying physiologic processes, some of which should not be trained concurrently with others. The concept of "Periodization" is what allows for a training plan which is complete and goal-oriented.
In this episode, we discuss the rationale behind Periodization and the various methods for employing this practice in your training.
17 Nov 2020
5. Dr. Cheri Mah - Sleep and Performance
01:07:18
Cheri Mah, MD, MS, is a world-renowned expert when it comes to the relationship between sleep and performance in elite athletes. In addition to performing some of the most important research on this topic, Dr. Mah serves as the sleep expert for the Nike Performance Council. She has worked with the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco Giants, San Jose Sharks, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Toronto Blue Jays, and other teams, as well as being a consultant for numerous international sports organizations and leagues. Her work has been featured by the NY Times, ESPN, NPR, and many other media outlets.
I'm thrilled to have Cheri join us for this episode to discuss sleep and performance! There is no better resource on this topic, and I think you will learn a considerable amount from her in this episode. I know I did!
17 Nov 2020
6. Dr. Aaron Baggish - Exercise and Heart Health
00:42:36
One of the most frequent questions I receive from patients is, "How much exercise is too much?" We have all seen the stories or personally known someone who suffered a cardiac condition despite being extremely fit. Yet, it is well established that exercise is ultimately good for the heart. This raises the question of whether you can get too much of a good thing.
No one is more qualified to address this topic than Dr. Aaron Baggish, and he joins us on this episode of The Podium. Dr. Baggish, an athlete himself, is the director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center. He serves as team cardiologist / physician for numerous athletic organizations including US Soccer, US Rowing, Harvard University Athletics, New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, New England Revolution, and is medical director for the BAA Boston Marathon. When I have any question regarding Sports Cardiology, I go straight to Aaron! I'm excited and thankful to have him join us on this episode to discuss an important topic.
30 Mar 2021
1. COVID Vaccines
01:01:51
COVID has dominated our lives for the past year, and now there are vaccines which are becoming widely available in the US. Many of my patients have had questions about the vaccines and whether they should be vaccinated. In this podcast, Patrick and I discuss thoughts on the vaccines and how individuals should approach this decision.
02 Apr 2021
2. Antibiotics and Athletes
00:47:58
This time of year, a large portion of our population ends up on antibiotics. For those of us that are athletes or inclined to maintain a high level of activity, that can be detrimental. Indeed, antibiotics can cause as many problems as they can cure.
In the US, medical practitioners are notorious for prescribing antibiotics when there is clearly no indication to do so. Head colds and bronchitis are almost uniformly caused by viruses. Viruses are not the same as bacteria. Antibiotics treat bacteria, but they do nothing for viruses. In addition to those conditions for which antibiotics are useless, there are other illnesses which are bacterial but self-limiting. Said another way, your body is strong enough to deal with them on its own.
In this episode, we discuss the dangers and utility of antibiotics with a particular emphasis on how athletes and active individuals can be affected.
02 Apr 2021
3. Continuous Glucose Monitor Use
00:54:29
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (or CGM) is a tool that we use with all of our patients at Podium, most of whom are not diabetic. This has proven to be a very powerful means of providing instant feedback into the body's response to certain variables. Food obviously plays a very important role in one's glucose response and metabolism, but the context around that diet is key as well. Exercise, sleep, and stress all impact glucose response.
In this episode we review some general use cases for CGM and talk about how we find value in these measurements for our patients.
02 Apr 2021
4. Safe Supplement Use
00:44:32
Supplement quality and safety is an area of considerable concern in our practice. Due to the structure of laws in the US, there is very little oversight when it comes to supplement production. In fact, it is probably the case that much (if not most) of the products on the market are worthless or even dangerous.
In this episode, we talk about this very problem, but we also discuss how we navigate this market with our patients. There are safe options out there, but it is up to the consumer be educated on the topic.
02 Apr 2021
5. Bicarbonate for Athletic Performance
00:55:10
Sodium bicarbonate ( or "bicarb") is a well-researched and proven supplement when it comes to promoting athletic performance. It is often used by the highest performing athletes, but there are barriers that keep others from trying this supplement. Its safety is well established. (Bicarb is just baking soda!) However, ingesting bicarb can lead to unpleasant gastric side effects.
In this episode, I am joined by Jeff Byers, the CEO of Amp Human. We discuss the history of bicarb in sports and the ways it is used to improve performance. Additionally, we delve into those side effects and a novel application of bicarb that might hold the key to harvesting the benefits while avoiding the standard side effects.
02 Apr 2021
6. Wearables - Current State of Technology
00:49:44
We use numerous wearables and connected devices when working with our patients at Podium. The science and technology in this space is rapidly evolving. To dig into this evolution, I am joined by Chuck Hazzard. Chuck is an entrepreneur and technology expert. He is currently working with Heads Up Health, the leading digital health analytics platform that is being used for remote patient monitoring, precision medicine, and individuals seeking to achieve peak performance.
In the past, Chuck has designed and built computer networks, developed software applications for large corporations, helped build a successful telecommunications business from the ground up, helped a large telecommunications company develop and bring to market products and services yielding an additional $500M in annual revenue, and most recently worked with Oura Ring through their early growth years. Chuck has extensive experience with numerous wearables, going all the way back to his testing of the first Garmin watch!

His expertise in injury prevention, rehab, and performance training is sought out by athletes across the world, and his athlete’s results speak for themselves.
We’ve finally done it! Dr. Sprouse and Patrick sat down to answer questions submitted by you, our listeners. We talk about continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), cardiac arrhythmias in athletes, blood testing, and more.
Debunking Bonking - It’s More than Fueling (with Robbie Ventura)
01:15:35
I sat down with Robbie Ventura to discuss what happens when you “bonk”, the complicated variables that impact it, and how you can prevent it. This episode was recorded for The Velocity Cycling Podcast, part of the educational component of Robbie’s newest venture, VQ Velocity.
Robbie Ventura is the founder and owner of Vision Quest Coaching. Robbie was a professional cyclist for 12 years. A competitive racer on the dirt, road and track since the age of 7, Ventura amassed over 70 victories during his professional career, was a member of the U.S. World Team and rode the Track World Championships in Hamar, Norway, placing 5th in the elimination. In 2000, Robbie started Vision Quest Coaching, a uniquely positioned program for endurance athletes focusing on high quality coaching delivered with the maximum benefits of the latest technology and training methodologies. The success of his athletes has helped VQ grow to five locations and, since opening, has helped thousands of athletes reach their potential in competitive athletic events.
Concussions and head injuries are unfortunately common in sport. In our practice, we deal with concussed athletes and frequently get questions about this topic. In this episode, we discuss the current state of medicine and science when it comes to concussions, their diagnosis, and their management.
This episode was not planned, but neither was my COVID diagnosis! After I was able to leave isolation, Patrick and I got together to discuss vaccine breakthrough, thoughts on treatment options, and the latest evidence on boosters. These are the questions that so many patients are asking, so we sat down to delve into each of them, now with a touch of personal experience thrown in.
Watts, Metabolism, Data Analytics: Science’s Impact on Cycling Over 25 Years
01:02:59
For the Season 5 finale, we share a panel discussion on which Dr. Sprouse joined George Hincapie, Bobby Julich, and Dr. Matt Tyska for the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences monthly Lab-to-Table Conversation.
Biomedical science has made huge strides to understand how the human body works over the past few decades. New scientific understandings have drastically impacted how endurance sports athletes train and eat. The panel will discuss their personal experiences with training, coaching, and medicine in cycling and how science has impacted their efforts through the years.
