Outline of what is discussed with some notes from the episode:

3. Aid digestion
4. Manage Hunger
5. Fit client’s schedule
-Timing pre & post & intra- including practical examples.
Practical Approaches:
-Pre: low GI or mix low GI/high GI, moderate fat/fiber, based on total meal timing, use multiple transportable carbs (translocation of receptors)
-Peri: dependent on total intake, recovery, training intensity/length, goal to enhance performance, decrease fatigue, manage MPB and cortisol, 15-25g cyclic dextrin with 10g EAAs or 15g whey
-Post: dependent on pre & peri timing; Insulin sensitivity importance
Also discussed:
-Insulin sensitivity
