DeepSummary
Dr. Andy Galpin introduces himself as a professor of kinesiology at Cal State Fullerton, where he conducts research on enhancing human performance. He has worked with professional athletes, including Olympic medalists, world champions, and MVP's across various sports for nearly 20 years. He is excited to launch his own podcast, 'Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin,' to share his knowledge and help listeners optimize their physical performance.
The podcast will focus on understanding the tools and tactics required to perform at the highest level, with the belief that this knowledge can then be applied to more moderate levels of performance. Galpin will share advanced tools, technologies, and tactics, but he will also provide low-cost or free alternatives for those without access to high-end resources.
Galpin plans to cover the '3 I's' for every topic: 1) Investigate (i.e., measure), 2) Interpret (i.e., what's good, bad), and 3) Intervene (i.e., change). The first season will explore topics such as muscle development, endurance, sleep and recovery, training for strength, improving VO2 max and cardiovascular health, and growing muscle.

This is Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin.
I'm Dr. Andy Galpin, a professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton.
With this podcast, my goal is to help you better understand and maximize your own physical performance, leveraging my two decades of experience with top-tier performers, including Olympians and world champions across numerous sports. We'll discuss a range of advanced tools, technologies, and strategies, striking a balance between the forefront of scientific research and simple solutions.
The way we'll do that is by covering what I call the "3 I's". For every topic, we'll explore how to 1) Investigate (i.e., measure), 2) Interpret (i.e., what's good, bad), and 3) Intervene (i.e., change). We'll do this from the lens of high performance, letting you enhance your abilities from good to great.
In the upcoming episodes of Season 1, we'll explore topics like the science of muscle development, how to build endurance, the role of sleep and recovery in high performance, and how to create training programs for strength, improving VO2 Max and cardiovascular health, growing muscle and much more.
I'll share actionable insights ("do's and don'ts") and I'll discuss the effectiveness of various supplements, training equipment, and technology in elevating mental and physical performance.
While not all of us are elite athletes, myself included, there are many lessons and tools that we can glean from those performing at the highest levels. And remember, as legendary coach Bill Bowerman stated, "If you have a body, you are an athlete." If you're not already, I hope you'll consider starting to train and recover like an athlete.
Stay tuned for Season 1, launching in Summer 2024.
