Blood Pressure, Nutrition, and Exercise Performance with Dr. Austin Robinson
March 27, 2020 19:39 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBIn this episode of Science & Chill, my guest is Dr. Austin Robinson from Auburn University. Dr. Robinson is an expert in blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and exercise. His main research interest focus on how blood pressure is influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and even race. We share a common research interest in the fact that Austin is also interested in studying blood vessel function, a topic we cover in detail during this episode. Along with these topics, w...

Episode 4 (Solo): Research Overview on Exercise, Immune System Health, and COVID-19
March 23, 2020 16:47 - 44 minutes - 44 MBThis audio (and video) was originally released on my YouTube channel (you can find that video HERE!!) It has long been said and believed by athletes/coaches that hard and strenuous exercise "compromises" your immune system. But is this true? I take a look into a review article that looks at the evidence behind this statement, the research to support and refute it, and propose some alternative conclusions and ways of looking at exercise in the context of immune health.

Episode 3: Spaceflight, Brain Science, and Aging with Dr. Rachael Seidler
March 19, 2020 15:51 - 1 hour - 80.2 MBIn this episode, I interview Dr. Rachael Seidler. Dr. Seidler is a research scientist at the University of Florida College of Health and Human Performance, where she is also the graduate program coordinator. Dr. Seidler's research primarily focuses on how our brain changes with aging, and how this affects our ability to complete motor tasks and our learning capabilities. She is also a NASA-funded scientist who explores the effects of spaceflight on the brain -- specifically how our motor an...

Circadian Rhythms, Exercise and Skeletal Muscle with Dr. Karyn Esser
February 02, 2020 22:33 - 1 hour - 148 MBIn this episode of Science & Chill, I talk with Dr. Karyn Esser, the associate program director at the Institute of Myology at the University of Florida. Dr. Esser is an expert in the area of biological rhythms, also known as circadian rhythms. In particular, her group focuses on how circadian rhythms function in skeletal muscle and respond to things like exercise, feeding, and light. In this episode, we talk about why humans (and plants and animals) have circadian rhythms in the first p...

Episode 1: Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS) with Dr. Orlando Laitano
January 12, 2020 00:04 - 1 hour - 158 MBIn this episode, I sit down with Orlando Laitano, PhD. Orlando is a post-doctoral researcher in the department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology at the University of Florida, where his research interests include studying exertional heat stroke in mice. We talk about Orlando's journey into science, the perils and joys of scientific publishing, and his work with the Brazilian national soccer team and Gatorade. This episode is a can't-miss if you enjoy human physiology, or simply listening ...
