Hosted by Dr. Marc Bubbs, The Performance Nutrition Podcast is a deep and ongoing conversation about how food and fuel shape athletic potential. Instead of quick fixes or fads, each episode sits down with the people doing the real work-leading researchers with PhDs, practicing doctors, seasoned coaches, and elite athletes themselves. These discussions translate complex science into practical strategies, whether you're focused on team sports, endurance events, physique goals, or weight-making disciplines. You'll hear firsthand stories and evidence-based insights that reveal how nutrition impacts recovery, adaptation, and peak performance. The aim is to provide a reliable resource that helps you refine your approach, question assumptions, and make informed decisions for your own practice or athletic journey. This podcast thrives on the nuance and depth that only comes from long-form, respectful interviews, building a library of knowledge that serves anyone serious about the critical role nutrition plays in high achievement.
