Show notes
In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Dr. Eric Trexler. Eric has a PHD in Human Movement Science, earned his pro card as a natural bodybuilder, has been a coach since 2009, and is currently a metabolism researcher at Duke University in North Carolina. Eric is also co-owner of the MASS research review, which if you didn’t know, is a monthly newsletter that breaks down the most recent nutrition and exercise related research into easy to digest content. Eric has also published dozens of his own peer-reviewed research papers on exercise and sports nutrition related strategies and is at the forefront of the evidence based fitness community. I’ve personally been a follower of Eric’s content for years - probably since around 2015 - and have the utmost respect for the unbiased, high quality information he puts out which is why I was excited to find out Eric went vegan for ethical purposes in 2020 during his studies into Buddhism and spirituality. and I delve into why exactly he chose to follow a vegan lifestyle, how his experience has been so far both personally and within the fitness industry, the research on plant vs. animal protein, the health benefits of a plant based diet and general healthy diet practices, dietary nitrates, supplementation and so much more. We packed a lot of great content into this episode and I’m excited to share with you all. Eric can be found on Instagram at Trexler Fitness and at trexlerfitness.com and I definitely recommend checking out MASS and massresearchreview.com. Thanks so much to Eric for taking the time to drop the knowledge bombs this episode and without further ado, on with the show!TIMESTAMPS:-COACHING: http://aethixfitness.comMERCH: http://www.aethixfitness.com/shopTRAINING PROGRAMS: http://www.aethixfitness.com/trainingTRUE NUTRITION - My absolute favorite, affordable, customizable vegan protein powder!
