Join Scott Johnston for a chat with Roxanne Vogel. Roxanne is a doctoral candidate with a decade of R&D experience in the sports nutrition industry. Currently exploring interventions to improve physical and cognitive performance and adaptation to physiological challenges presented by extreme environments and prolonged exertion. An adventurer and high-altitude athlete who applied a novel pre-acclimation, training, and nutrition protocol to successfully summit Mt. Everest in 14 days door to door.0:00 Introduction.1:56 Roxanne’s background working with Evoke3:37 Exploring cross-adaptations between heat stress and hypoxia11:29 Plasma volume increases in heat adaptation improve performance at altitude.14:03 Relationship between heart stroke volume and plasma volume.17:38 Relationship between altitude and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels21:52 Epi-genetic effects of altitude26:52 Advantages of medium-term heat acclimation.31:28 How to implement heat exposure into training38:00 The importance of self-experimentation 40:00 Determining the efficacy of nutrition and exercise interventions.42:31 Potential benefits of cold exposure.50:01 Next steps in research and Roxanne’s future goals.Show Notes:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306456524000111
