    This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Anna Lembke about dopamine and addiction. We discuss what people get wrong about addiction, is it black and white (are all addictions bad), the potential for food to be addictive - and why this is a contentious issue. The potential for anything to be addictive. Who is most at risk of becoming addicted, the impact of the pandemic (both good and bad) and any other insights that Anna has that weren’t explored in her book that was published in 2021. A fab interview you are going to love.

    Dr. Anna Lembke received her undergraduate degree in Humanities from Yale University and her medical degree from Stanford University. She is currently Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also Program Director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship, Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, and a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Addiction Medicine.

    In 2016, she published "Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016), highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018).

    Dr. Lembke appeared in the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, an unvarnished look at the impact of social media on our lives.

    Her latest book, "Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence" (Dutton/Penguin Random House, August 2021) was an instant New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller and has been translated into 30 languages. It combines the neuroscience of addiction with the wisdom of recovery to explore the problem of compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world.

    This week on the podcast Mikki welcomes back Dr. Guillaume Millet, to discuss sex differences in ultra endurance events. They discuss the interplay between biology and behaviour, how females are different from men and what possible advantages (and disadvantages) this may have over the longer distance. They also discuss biomechanics, and how much of this differences in the performance may be due to sociological differences. They discuss a ton, including Guillaumes dream event where true sex differences could be put to the test if money was no object!


    PhD, is a professor at Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne.
    From 1998 to 2013, he held various academic positions in France, including a 4-year full-time research contract at the French National Institute for Medical Research (INSERM).
    In 2013, he moved to the University of Calgary where he directed a research team of ~15 trainees, the Neuromuscular Fatigue Lab. He also was Vice-Chair Research of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology from 2014 to 2016.

    Prof. Millet was named at the Institut Universitaire de France as a Senior member in 2019 and director of the inter-university Laboratory of Human Movement Biology in 2020.
    His general research area investigates the physiological, neurophysiological and biomechanical factors associated with fatigue, both in extreme exercise and in patients (neuromuscular diseases, cancer, ICU). His research is focusing on understanding fatigue in order to create tailored rehabilitation programs for clinical populations in order to enhance patients’ quality of life.
    In July 2021, he had published 5 books and 260 journal articles (cited > 10,700 times), his H index was 55.

They discuss Andy’s initial interest in this area, coming from an athlete’s background and his own experience with hydration and getting it wrong. They discuss the accuracy of the sweat test and what it can tell us, what is a field-based test any athlete can use to determine their hdyration requirements, why some athletes sweat more (or lose more sodium) than others and any sex based differences. And loads more.

    Andy Blow is a Sports Scientist with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Bath. An expert in sweat, dehydration and cramping, Andy previously worked as the Team Sports Scientist for the Benetton and Renault Formula 1 teams, and remains an adviser to the Porsche Human Performance Centre.

    An elite level triathlete in his younger days, Andy has finished in the top-10 of Ironman and IM 70.3 races, as well as winning an Xterra World title.

    It was Andy's own struggles with cramp and hydration that led to him specialising in electrolyte replenishment and founding Precision Fuel & Hydration.
