Dr. Andy Galpin

He has some pretty compelling evidence over multiple studies that eating specific items in specific amounts prior to sleep is advantageous for not only sleep and recovery, but multiple other things as well.

The conversation was wide-ranging, but we'll cover many other things like a handful of supplements that people have not heard of that have interesting implications for a wide variety of performance and health-related outcomes. And so it was a fascinating conversation. I learned a lot from it. I've known Mike for a long time. I've known his work for a long time.

But there was a lot that I did not know about the work he's done and will be doing in the future. So here we go with Dr. Mike Ormsby. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Dr. Mike Ormsby, thank you so much for coming out. I know it was a long trip this morning and I have a bunch of stuff I'm excited to talk to you about. But first, thank you so much for coming out.

I love your research. I love a lot of the stuff that you've gotten into. So when we decided to officially have guests for Perform, I was like, Mike has got to be on the list and stoked to have you out here.

Fantastic, man. We're going to go to a lot of areas, but where I want to start is actually with ultra-endurance stuff. Sure. So you yourself, I know you played hockey and probably plenty of other sports, but then you not only have competed in various forms of ultras, and then you've done a lot of research in that.

So tell me how you got into that background and then very specifically some of the studies you've done and the athletes you work with.

Well, I mean, context here a little bit. If everyone was to see your physique, they would probably not picture you as a triathlon kind of guy.

Now, I know that I'm assuming that led into why you did some of your work in your lab in these endurance. I'll call them ultras and tries and things like that. I know you've also done and still coach athletes in various of these sports.

But before we get to that stuff, do you remember offhand any specific things you did, any food items or amounts or timings or fluids, supplements, anything that you took for your own personal performances that made you feel better? Yeah.
