    Unbiased Science x Dr. Tom Frieden: Pandemic Rewind

    Release Date: 02/23/2022

    Description: We had the honor and privilege of speaking with Dr. Tom Frieden in August 2021 about the COVID-19 pandemic. For those who may not be familiar, Dr. Frieden is a physician, former Director of the CDC, former Health Commissioner for NYC, and currently serves as the President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, a public health organization focused on tackling cardiovascular disease and prevention of epidemics. During our chat, we covered many topics including: the Delta variant (which was the dominant strain of the virus at that time), addressing vaccine hesitancy, navigating the pandemic with young children, vaccine mandates and lockdowns, the role of testing in controlling COVID-19 spread, our approach to emergency preparedness, and much more! Though this discussion took place about 6 months ago, much of the content is still very relevant today! We hope you’ll tune in.

    Release Date: 06/29/2023

    Description: Even to this day, most scientific studies either intentionally or unintentionally exclude women. Females are difficult to study because we have periods, fluctuating hormones, and babies. So we’re left to take the advice that works for males and assume that we’re close enough. The reality is, we’re far from it. But there is hope. Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition. My guest today is journalist Christine Yu. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why women have been traditionally excluded from scientific research on athletes Why that matters in the first place, and How new research specifically on the female athlete can transform the way you train, fuel, and recover. Christine Yu is an award-winning journalist whose work focuses on the intersection of sports science and women athletes. Her writing has appeared in Outside, The Washington Post, Runner’s World, and other publications. Her new book, Up To Speed, explores the myths and gender biases of scientific research today, and empowers people to excel in sport regardless of sex or gender. It’s a fascinating read for anyone who considers themselves a student of sport. Don’t forget to stay tuned all the way to the end for another Mental Strength Minute. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

I’ve been following and listening to Claire for several months. Mental strength minute is my favorite part of each episode. Todays topic in muscle soreness was just for me 😉. As a trainer and coach I know better, but still catch myself judging the effectiveness of what I did on how sore I am. One day I’ll be perfect at it. For now I’ll keep soaking up knowledge from other amazing coaches. Thank you Claire!” Boondoggleman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great Running Content “Very educational podcast that covers a wide array of running topics. Claire breaks down concepts for all levels of runners and the way she formats the show keeps it interesting” Nodnarb Runs ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love this podcast “So clear, informative, positive, well produced, and just overall a great listen.
