The Kris Gethin Podcast
Biohacking has become the new status symbol. Everyone wants the chamber, the wearable, the peptide, the IV, the stem cells, the red light, and the expensive recovery tool. But there is a problem most people do not want to admit: the body may not respond to the expensive stuff if the foundation underneath it is weak.

It primarily targets deep visceral fat, especially around organs, instead of just superficial subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is linked to metabolic diseases, inflammation, insulin resistance, and...

262. The Food Label Lie: Why Your “Healthy” Food May Not Be What You Think with Will Harris
The Kris Gethin Podcast
Most people think they know what they’re eating because they read the label. Grass-fed. Organic. High protein. Product of the USA. Low calorie. Clean ingredients. But that label is the end of the story, not the beginning. The beginning is the soil. The animal. The feed. The farm. The chemicals. The confinement. The way the food was raised, processed, mixed, marketed, and sold before it ever reached your plate. And that’s where a lot of people are getting fooled. In this episode of The Kris Gethin Podcast, I sit down with Will Harris, fourth-generation farmer and owner of White Oak...

info_outlineMost people training for performance, muscle, or body composition have been told that carbohydrates during training are unnecessary, counterproductive for fat loss, or only relevant for endurance athletes. But walk into the hotel rooms of the professional bodybuilders, UFC fighters, and motocross racers at the Arnold Classic and every single one of them is consuming carbohydrates mid-session, because when you understand how glycogen actually fuels high intensity output, the debate stops being a debate.
In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the exact physiology behind why skipping intra-workout carbohydrates is quietly costing you performance, muscle, and recovery, and the specific formula I have been using and refining for 21 years to fix it.
What's Discussed:
(00:01) Why this debate keeps confusing people, and what I saw at Arnold Classic
(02:21) Glycogen, glycolysis, and why high-intensity training runs on carbs
(04:45) Why intra-workout carbs can delay fatigue and help you finish as strong as you started
(07:08) The 4 things an intra-workout protocol should cover
(09:28) Key ingredients I use and what each one is doing physiologically
(11:47) Real-world examples across bodybuilding, UFC-style training, and high-output sports
(14:13) The practical takeaway, and what I am running next with my at-home trainer
