🥑 RETHINKING NUTRITION in ENDURANCE PERFORMANCE 💥🧠

Tim Noakes & Phil Maffetone aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo — especially when it comes to CARBS, FAT, and FUELING the brain 🧬

In this thought-provoking episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul, Tim & Phil dig into what REALLY fuels performance:

🔥 How FAT OXIDATION supports endurance when carbs run low
🧠 Why the BRAIN—not the body—often decides your limits
📉 The trouble with INSULIN and sugar addiction in modern diets
