In Episode 2 of Eavesdropping Dr. J, Dr. Jessica Schulman is joined by Dr. Scott Anderle, an educator, retired school principal, father, and competitive Masters swimmer—for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about nutrition, metabolism, and mindful living across the lifespan. After returning to swimming following knee replacement surgery, Scott quickly found himself not only racing—and medaling—but also rethinking how food, exercise, stress, and sleep affect his health and performance.
Scott shares his personal journey navigating pre-diabetes, including how tracking his blood glucose helped him understand which foods truly work for his body—and which don’t. Together, he and Dr. J unpack common assumptions around carbohydrates, sugar, sports drinks, protein bars, and sugar substitutes, highlighting why individualized nutrition matters more than blanket rules. They also explore why swimming can dramatically increase appetite, what nighttime hunger may be signaling, and how fueling strategies evolve as we age.
Beyond food, this episode dives into the often-overlooked pillars of metabolic health: stress management, meditation, yoga, gut health, and the long-term impact of childhood experiences on our relationship with eating. Grounded in science but rich in lived experience, this conversation is a reminder that performance nutrition isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about awareness, consistency, and understanding your own body.
