Jordan Feigenbaum. I'm joined by the second most handsome doctor in North America,

Dr. Austin Baraki. What's going on, man? Hey, doing all right.

Excited to be here today. Excited to be here. We're going to review research. This is episode

308. It's our research review from September

2024. We've got some cool studies on androgen receptor density, which maybe that doesn't

sound interesting to anybody else, but it's interesting to us. How your muscles can simultaneously hypertrophy and atrophy, potentially, and, you know, what happens to blood pressure during exercise for people who are taking anti-hypertensive so blood pressure

medication before we get into that and Austin you know how are things going man that

people want to know how are you I am intact still as I have been on previous podcast but just got through a few weeks of work in the hospital

Been teaching at the medical school the past few days since I've been away from the hospital. I got to teach

some second year medical students about

differential diagnosis of chest pain and vasculitis and some other interesting

stuff this past week and then the rest is doing a fair amount of training, spending time as I have before on the rower,

some time doing some running and still lifting, although that's taking a bit of a, I don't know,

side burner, not

front burner, but I've, you know, not currently operating at like peak strength

performance, but I'm just kind of finding an equilibrium state to balance these different tasks that I'm training on at the moment.

For the differential diagnosis, did you just say they're not squatting enough or that they

squat with the bar in the wrong place on their back? Like that's the, that's the cause of their chest pain. That's right, back like that's the that's the cost of their chest pain there you

that's right yeah that's the ediopathology all right yeah I am also I'm moving all

extremities well appear to be intact as far as I'm aware so just keep on
