E20 - Part 2: Fundamentals of cellular timekeeping with John O'Neill

Mar 25 2024 74 mins  
Along the ERATO UK - Japan Joint Symposium on Circadian rhythms & Sleep 2024 at the University of Oxford, Dr. John O'Neill (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge) was interviewed to discuss his research on the fundamentals of cellular timekeeping. In this second part, John provides deep insights from his recent study on how the timing of food intake mechanistically

E19 - Part 1: Fundamentals of cellular timekeeping with John O'Neill

Mar 11 2024 49 mins  
From the 11th to the 13th of March 2024, the 247Muscle podcast has been invited to cover the ERATO UK - Japan Joint Symposium on Circadian rhythms & Sleep, which takes place at the University of Oxford. The symposium aims to promote research exchange and collaboration in the fields of sleep and circadian clocks between the UK and Japan. Prior to the symposium, one of the speake

E18 - Part 2: Daylight vs. electric light for health with Russell Foster

Nov 13 2023 61 mins  
In the second part with Prof. Russell Foster (Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, and Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford), contributing to the Daylight Awareness Week (13-17th of November 2023), we continue our discussion around the differential impact of daylight and electric light on health. We provide a historical

E17 - Part 1: Daylight vs. electric light for health with Russell Foster

Nov 13 2023 55 mins  
As part of the Daylight Awareness Week (13-17th of November 2023), Prof. Russell Foster (Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, and Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford) talks about the differential impact of daylight and electric light on health. In the first part, we cover the basics of how daylight has shaped life on E

E16 - Part 2: Pre-sleep protein after exercise with Jorn Trommelen

Jul 10 2023 50 mins  
In the second part with Dr. Jorn Trommelen (Assistant Professor, Department of Human Biology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands), we talk about Jorn's recent study on pre-sleep protein ingestion after acute endurance exercise to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Jorn explains how these findings from acute studies relate to boosting long-term gains in strength, hypertroph

E15 - Part 1: Pre-sleep protein after exercise with Jorn Trommelen

Jun 26 2023 47 mins  
Dr. Jorn Trommelen (Assistant Professor, Department of Human Biology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands) talks about his research on pre-sleep protein ingestion after exercise to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. In the first part, we discuss the different forms of proteins and how endurance vs. resistance training differ in their post-exercise protein demand. Jorn further e

E14 - Part 2: Health risks of shift work & how to minimize them with Frank Scheer

May 21 2023 48 mins  
In the second part with Prof. Frank Scheer (Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School, USA), we discuss what a night-shift worker could consider doing acutely (preceding, during, and following a shift) and chronically (when working years of shift schedules) to minimize health risks. In this context, we consider concepts li

E13 - Part 1: Health risks of shift work & how to minimize them with Frank Scheer

May 02 2023 59 mins  
Prof. Frank Scheer (Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School, USA) introduces us to the topic of shift work and its adverse effects on many health aspects. We define the different forms of shift work with a particular focus on night shifts by painting a picture of what the everyday life of a typical nurse in the hospital

E12 - Impact of cold vs. heat on exercise recovery with Cas Fuchs

Feb 15 2023 67 mins  
Dr. Cas Fuchs (Department of Human Biology, Maastricht University, The Netherlands) talks about two of his studies in which he separately investigated the effect of cold- versus hot-water immersion after exercise on recovery. In this context, Cas explains the acute physiological response to cooling and heating. We question what athletes claim or hope to achieve by applying cooling

E11 - When to eat most of your calories with Alex Johnstone

Feb 13 2023 73 mins  
Prof. Alexandra Johnstone (The Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen, Scotland) talks about her recent study on the timing of calorie loading and its differential effects on weight loss and appetite control. Alex thereby investigated mechanisms behind the diet concept of "eating breakfast like a king". We further discuss the real-world implications of her findings and practical
