• Amanda Wiggins completed a BSc(Hons) in Neuroscience at University of Otago in New Zealand. University of Otago
• She then earned a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Melbourne in Australia. University of Otago
• Her interest lies in turning neuroscience/brain research into useful products — especially given the rising prevalence of neurological conditions as populations age.

• What “brain-fitness” means in the context of an athlete who’s been training for years and now faces the extra variable of aging and brain-health risk.
• How to measure risk.
• The research-based links between physical activity, vascular health, cognitive resilience, and how athletes might benefit—or in some cases put themselves at risk—if they don’t pay attention.
• Practical, actionable habits and interventions that older athletes can adopt today to sharpen their mind, and guard against memory loss, dementia or cognitive decline.
• And lastly: how to take all this science and apply it to training, recovery, lifestyle and mindset in a way that feels meaningful, sustainable and empowering.

• From around the age of 50, IGF-1 activity naturally begins to decline, and this process can be accelerated by stress, poor lifestyle choices, or specific genetic conditions. When IGF-1 levels or function are reduced, the body’s demand for cGP increases, yet it becomes harder to produce enough. Without adequate cGP, IGF-1 cannot work effectively, which may affect brain health, cardiovascular wellbeing, and energy levels.

Michael J. Ormsbee, PhD

• Michael J. Ormsbee is a professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food & Exercise Sciences at FSU.
• He serves as the Graduate Program Director and is the Director for the FSU Institute of Sports Sciences & Medicine (ISSM).
• He holds the Margaret A. Sitton Endowed Professorship at FSU.

Professor Ormsbee’s work focuses on how exercise, nutrition, and supplementation interact to influence:

• Body composition, metabolism, and performance
• Pre-sleep (nighttime) feeding strategies and their effects on recovery, metabolism, and body composition
• The role of macronutrients (especially protein and types of carbohydrates) in fat metabolism, hormonal responses, and performance across both healthy and clinical populations
• Applications in athlete populations, as well as in metabolic disease, obesity, and clinical scenarios

Today I have the exact right person to talk about targeting optimal body composition. Mike Ormsbee PhD. Mike is a scientist athlete, researching health, body comp and human performance as the Director of the Florida State University’s Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine. Dr Ormsbee agreed to join me to help us Wise Athletes to understand how exercise, nutrition, and supplementation can be used to optimize metabolism, body composition and performance

Principals

1. Speed of adaptation reflects health status and resilience: fuel switching speed, sugar tolerance, temperature tolerance, HR capacity (max vs. resting), endurance, mobility and strength provides headroom to recover from problems.
2. Benefit stacking: getting multiple benefits from our actions and food
3. Health maintenance is the real goal. Achieving goals is nice, but sustaining fitness and health is the real achievement. The key is fuel matching and non-linear calorie imbalance. (Practice maintenance)
4. No suffering; stay within yourself but push a little most days.
5. “Better is better”. Optimal is elusive but will slowly be achieved for each person
6. Little things add up. Start with easy to gain momentum and motivation for harder change.
7. Exercise doesn’t have to dominate your life; you just need to do enough of cardio/ endurance and HIIT/ strength work.
8. More variability = better resilience
9. Consistency of effort (we are forming new habits, need time to obtain positive feedback)
10. Progressive overload (change is painful, but only a little and only some of the time, if done right)
11. Modulated workload (for recovery, adaptation, mental health, and practice for maintenance mode)

Dr Ted Naiman Bio:

Dr. Ted Naiman is a board-certified Family Medicine physician in the department of Primary Care at a leading major medical center in Seattle. Dr. Naiman holds an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, which influences his analytical approach to medicine. He earned his medical degree from Loma Linda University in 1997 . Initially raised in a near-vegetarian Seventh-day Adventist household, he experienced personal health challenges that led him to explore alternative nutritional strategies. This journey culminated in the development of the P:E Diet, focusing on the protein-to-energy ratio in foods, and now, Satiety per Calorie: Eating, solved, to promote fat loss and muscle gain.

For decades, diet books have focused on what to eat—low-carb, low-fat, paleo, keto, and everything in between. Today learn what really works for anyone who wants to improve health, body composition, athletic performance....longevity in sport.
