Hello there, fitness & health geeks!

This blog is dedicated to sharing my knowledge on fitness and health from a scientific point of view. My aim is to combine my knowledge as a scientist with some experience (a.k.a. self-experimentation) with different approaches to nutrition and training.

There is a lot of information on dietary recommendations and fitness out there. If you are really into this topic, you will also notice that it tends to be somewhat paradoxical and confusing. Therefore, one has to resort to science-based approaches (a.k.a. critical analysis of the literature) in order to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak (gluten-free craze, anyone?).

Finally, the real goal of this blog is not only to share the data with you geeks out there, interested in maintaining health, but to make them understandable to people who have no interest in spending hours and hours digging through the literature to know how to exercise and eat well.

So let´s buckle down and get to work!
