The FirstCall Performance Podcast
The Measured Athlete
Physician-built performance nutrition — measured, not guessed.
A monthly conversation where Dr. Petersen and Dr. Carlson sit down with the people who build supreme athletes — elite sports nutritionists, NCAA strength & conditioning coaches, and performance staff, plus the occasional high-level athlete — to separate what actually works from what's noise. Every claim verified, every takeaway you can use. Built for the athlete chasing the next level, and the family building them.
Season 1 — launching soon.
Physician-led
Not another influencer show. Two board-certified physicians in the chair, holding every trend to the evidence.
Verified & sourced
Every claim traced to the research — the same standard as our protocol. If it can't be sourced, it doesn't make the episode.
Actually useful
What moves the needle for a real high-school or college athlete — and what parents should stop wasting money on.
