Podcast Episode #78: Jörn Utermann and HMB, Performance Nutrition, and the Athlete's Dietary Needs

In this episode, Jörn Utermann joins me to discuss his role as a Performance Nutritionist for athletes, his Master's Thesis on HMB (and whether you should be taking it or not), and the hierarchy of dietary needs for athletes. We also talk about low-carbohydrate diets for athletes, and whether or not this leads to optimal athletic performance.

 

Jörn has been a Performance Nutritionist since 2017, working with elite and recreational athletes of various sporting backgrounds including Crossfit, combat sports, powerlifting, and Football (soccer). He has a Bachelors of Science in Nutritional Sciences, a Masters of Science in Sport and Exercise Nutrition, and has earned the International Olympic Committee's Diploma in Sports Nutrition.
