Lab Rat Radio

Lab Rat Radio is a long-form conversation about human physiology, nutrition, exercise science, and evidence-based health.

Hosted by lifelong lab rats and current university professors Dr. Emily Dow, PhD, RDN, CSCS, and Dr. Nathan Jenkins, PhD, the show bridges research, teaching, coaching, and real-world application. Together, Emily and Nathan explore the mechanisms behind common health and performance questions while separating what the evidence actually shows from what gets exaggerated online.

Topics include metabolism, fueling for performance, hormones, gut health, training adaptations, stress physiology, recovery, supplements, and the challenges of translating science into everyday decisions.

For curious people who want to understand the body more deeply without being scared, sold to, or talked down to.
