Summary
Coach Bronson specializes in ketogenic sports performance, helping athletes improve their strength, recovery, and overall health. He has nearly 20 years of experience in human performance, holds a master’s degree in exercise science, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Health Science degree. So much fitness advice tells us there is one right way to eat, train, and recover. But what if the best approach depends on how your body actually responds? In this conversation, Coach Bronson encourages a more curious and individualized approach—one that values consistency, recovery, and real-life results over rigid rules and complicated protocols. Here's what we explore: What current research suggests about carbohydrates and athletic performance Why Coach Bronson shifted from conventional sports nutrition to an animal-based ketogenic diet The difference between fueling exercise and supporting recovery Why consistency matters more than complicated nutrition protocols How overtraining can limit strength and performance The role of work, sleep, and everyday stress in recovery Why women may need to lift heavier to build muscle How electrolytes support low-carb athletes Why higher ketone readings do not always mean better results What mobility really means and why Coach Bronson recommends Turkish get-ups If you’ve ever wondered whether you need carbohydrates to perform, struggled to recover from your workouts, or felt overwhelmed by complicated fitness and nutrition rules, this conversation offers a more flexible way to think about strength, health, and athletic performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come to the Meat & Movement Retreat in Costa Rica…
