Tim Riley sits down with Josh Gillum, a former gymnast, collegiate linebacker, and Master of Dietetics student, to dismantle the biggest myths in sports nutrition. They cover the overblown electrolyte supplement industry, why low-carb diets fail high-intensity athletes, and the brain-saving science of creatine after concussions. Plus, Josh breaks down the viral content strategy behind 660K followers and why embarrassment might be your most underutilized growth tool.

On this episode, Josh explains why gymnastics is the most underrated foundational sport for injury prevention, how sodium-heavy electrolyte packets can wreck your gut and spike your blood pressure, and why the fitness world's obsession with protein is actively sabotaging athletic performance by crowding out carbohydrates.

They also dig into: why processed foods aren't the enemy for high-calorie athletes, the predatory marketing behind pink "female-specific" supplements, carbohydrate timing windows that actually matter, and how Josh built his content empire using a lab coat, a stylus, and a deliberately dumbed-down voice.
