In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mike Ormsbee, Director of the Institute of Sports Science and Medicine at Florida State University. Mike is one of the sharpest, most pragmatic researchers in the field — a former hockey player turned leading expert on exercise, nutrition, fat metabolism, sleep, and performance.We had an absolute blast geeking out for nearly two hours. Mike and I share very similar backgrounds (athletes who got into lifting and science for selfish reasons — getting jacked and lean), and it shows in how practical and grounded this conversation is.What we covered:• Mike’s journey from competitive ice hockey and early bodybuilding days to becoming a professor and running one of the top sports nutrition labs in the country• Resistance training vs. endurance exercise for fat metabolism (what the cellular data actually shows)• Mechanisms vs. real-world outcomes in fat loss• Pre-sleep nutrition: Does eating protein (or anything) before bed ruin fat loss, sleep, or recovery?• Interpreting science, research biases, publication issues, and why “what works for you” still mattersWe also had some friendly disagreement on collagen, which I think you’ll really enjoy.If you want evidence-based, no-BS discussion on training, nutrition timing, supplements, and how to actually apply the science to real life (whether you’re an athlete or just trying to stay healthy and jacked), this one is for you.#DrLayneNorton #MikeOrmsbee #SportsNutrition #ResistanceTraining #PreSleepProtein #Collagen #FatMetabolism #EvidenceBasedFitnessSPONSORS• Outwork Nutrition - Evidence-Based Supplements to Support Your Hard Work: https://outworknutrition.com• Workout Builder – Customized training programs for all experience levels: https://biolayne.com/workout-builderLAYNE'S COMPANIESCarbon Diet Coach: https://joincarbon.com/podcastOutwork Nutrition: https://outworknutrition.comREPS Research Review: https://biolayne.com/repsWorkout Builder: https://biolayne.com/workout-builderTeam Biolayne: https://biolayne.com/online-coachingPhysique Coaching Academy: https://physiquecoachingacademy.comFOLLOW LAYNEhttp://www.facebook.com/laynenortonhttp://www.twitter.com/biolaynehttp://www.instagram.com/biolayneTIMESTAMPS0:00:00 - Intro0:02:47 - Mike's Background0:06:12 - The Start of Resistance Training Research0:10:38 - Fat Metabolism0:17:35 - Lipolysis vs Fat Loss0:21:40 - Outwork Nutrition0:23:08 - Research Considerations0:28:45 - Hard Training Above All0:33:16 - Risk Probabilities0:35:10 - Sleep Nutrition Research0:44:06 - Workout Builder0:45:02 - Sleep Nutrition Research Cont.0:45:50 - Practical Takaways0:47:30 - Performance Outcomes0:49:07 - Study Design Evolution0:52:06 - Wearables0:56:51 - Missing Sleep and Sleep Schedules1:07:31 - Training or Competing at Night1:11:11 - Nutrient Timing1:18:01 - Carbs and Exercise Performance1:31:27 - Collagen1:42:47 - Research Discussion1:49:46 - Final Question1:59:47 - OutroSHOW NOTEShttps://biolayne.com/podcasts/dr-layne-norton-podcast
