The Mind Muscle Connection
Part 2: Body Composition, Metabolism, and more with Christian Rodriguez | Ep 629
Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!
In Part 2 of our conversation, I chat again with Christian Rodriguez, this time diving deep into Body Composition, Metabolism and more
We break down why most popular tools like DEXA scans, metabolic equations, and even wearables often underestimate or mislead, especially for muscular individuals. Christian shares what the latest research is showing, why context matters, and what’s actually worth tracking if you want useful data.
If you’re serious about training, nutrition, and understanding your metabolism beyond just the numbers, don’t miss this one.
Let’s talk about:
- Visceral fat, location & utility of body fat %
- Sex differences in body comp research
- Total body water prediction equations
- Resting metabolic rate prediction equations
- Energy balance, thermogenics & metabolic adaptation
- Christian’s career move to Pennington Biomedical
- Where to find Christian
