Zach covers a wide-range of health, wellness, and running topics. I’m always learning from keeping an open-mind to his and his guest’s opinions, the same way Zach approaches his own evolution. We are lucky to have Zach (and occasionally Nicole) in the space. ✌🏻💚🏃🏼‍♂️

I’ve been following HPO for a couple years now. While there are a number of great podcasts on running, I can say that HPO has had the most dramatic effect on my personal running improvement. Zach’s ability to discuss complex topics ranging from nutrition, mindset, training, and general running philosophy is impressive. He’s an important voice for the ultra-running community and those of us who are open to learn are lucky to have such an accessible podcast to improve our own performance. Thanks Zach!

Zach is very entertaining and informative whether it’s a guest interview or deep dive into training philosophy. Highly recommend

Very informative podcast. I look forward to every new release and what Zach is bringing to the table. One of my favorite listens and what I consider as an extra tool in the tool belt!

Great interviews with thought provoking people. I really liked the interview with Vinny Crispino - Exploring the idea that movement could be the solution to pain vs when it hurts, stop.

Im always looking for new running podcasts. This is a great one for tips on training.

I really liked the point counterpoint conversation with the Nadolsky brothers - you make a great moderator

Zach is a great host with great guests! Especially loved the episode with Vinnie Crispino who suffered a surfing accident and discusses his journey to avoid back surgery and the establishment of the Pain Academy. So many awesome take-aways! Thanks Zach!

Insightful, engaging, and motivating. Love so many of the episodes.

I have the privilege of sitting down with Zach to talk about having growth mindset in your personal and professional career, and I have nothing but good things to say. His show is top notch and I highly recommend

This podcast is the next best thing to actually having Zach around personally for pick his brain.

If you're interested in athletic performance, you should listen to this podcast. I'm into barbell training and have never been a fan of long distance running, so the earlier episodes featuring Shawn Baker were my favorites. However, I still listen to the recent episodes featuring Zach Bitter, as you can still get great tips on enhancing performance from his insights.

It’s obvious Zach puts extraordinary effort into every single episode of Human Performance Outliers. What makes this show a true standout is the quality of the guests, stories, and tactics. Zach shares insights that only a true practitioner can unearth. Don't miss it!

LOVE THIS!

Love this podcast always has great guests.

It’s truly a treat to have access to the thoughts of a guy like Zach Bitter. It’s amazing to hear how intricate, meticulous and well-thought-out his strategies are. He has fabulous guests as well. I really enjoyed his conversation with Pete Kostelnick. Two legends in the sport of ultrarunning for sure!

What a knowledgeable and well-spoken host... great job with your show Zach. So much good information shared in your episodes. I will say: there have been some major contradictions— some guests giving solid arguments for periodized HFLC diets (moderate protein), followed by that recent guy simply pushing a LOT of protein like he’s 30 years behind the curve... and you didn’t really challenge him on it... but hey, I forgive you for your part in that and think maybe you learned something from that inconsistent messaging. I appreciate you trusting your listeners to discern between good information and not, but I hope we don’t have to make those determinations too often. Keep up the good work!!

Awesome Podcast to Learn From!

The varied guests on this podcast are really interesting and I am learning a lot. I particularly liked episode 130 with Travis Einertson who talked about our pets diets.

These two are awesome!! They offer amazing insight and information that is really helpful for listeners!

Great podcast that touches on a wide variety of topics. Keep up the awesome work!!

I enjoy all of your episodes but #204 Allen Williams’ was incredibly encouraging. I am passionate about Regenerative Ag and am so happy that you guys are continuously exploring it. Please continue! It will catch on but we have to keep learning and hearing about it constantly. Thank you thank you thank you for what you do guys!!!

Happy to see Dan on the show- appreciate his work!

I am a 53 year old carnivore! This podcast has helped me advance my knowledge! My life has changed for the better listening and learning from this amazing podcast!

Baker has changed thousands of lives for the better by exposing the medical and nutritional industries. This show is a must-listen for all humans looking to improve their health and cut through the BS we’ve been fed our whole lives.

This show goes real deep, into Anthropology and really keeps the attention. Understanding the diet of pre-glacial recession peoples helps us understand what we should be eating today.

It’s a very interesting podcast, but there is a need for better audio. A small investment in some microphones would go a long way.

This is the absolute best podcast for health and performance. The guests are top notch, and the content is disruptive. This is serious, challenging material from credible, knowledgeable, experts who walk the talk.

These guys crush it.

There are other excellent podcasts but this might be the peak in terms of depth, breadth, & interviewing veracity of the hosts. Not to mention how consistently prolific it is. Crazy.

Podcast 163 with John Ikerd was one of their most interesting, informative, and refreshing talks. Great job to all involved.

Talking to this socialist who thinks Biden and Sanders has a “bold plan” for “sustainable farming” was a waste. He uses his moral high horse to smash down to local farming, where we all live in huts, eating our vegetable & cereal gruel over small dung fires. How ‘bout we only do that while we rip up many of those big farms that have been on grasslands and reinstitute ranching. I enjoy grain fished beef. And other ruminates like lamb. You can’t get most people HEALTHY if they can’t afford MEAT. and FISH

Always insightful and great conversations around a LCHF , carnivore , nutrition and athletic performance based approaches, but never too dogmatic. Zach and Shawn have a great dynamic and balance and bring a sense of humor from time to time which helps break up all the science and nutrition talk. Only reason I offer 4 stars and not 5 is due to fairly consistent sound troubles. Zach is right restart your computer Shawn ! Or maybe no video until it’s been sorted ? At any rate I really , really appreciate all that this podcast offers! Thanks guys!

What sets this podcast apart is their excellent content, standards for evidence based information, and the quality of featured guests. Always something to learn. Excellent interviews and questions asked. No fluff here. Valuable use of time.

Like sitting in on an incredible college lecture each episode. Nobody out does the level of educational information available here! Truly extraordinary!!

Love the show, always something new, and I enjoy being challenged. On episode 105, Tristan Haggard made an off-handed comment equating the way a woman dresses and promiscuity. Certainly backward thinking, and he should have been called on it.

From the human wolf woman to the raw carnivorous man, this show stretches my mind to alternate ways of living and eating. My only complaint is audio quality is that sometimes off. But hey. It’s a free podcast so I can deal with it. Keep up the great show.

This podcast has quickly become my favorite. Thank you for putting together such good episodes with great guests and interesting questions and dialogue

Thanks so much for doing this guys. Answering so many questions that I have.

So many good interviews. Learning so much.

There are A LOT of views in the keto carnivore range. Zach and Dr Baker do a great job of letting their guest present their views and information without interruption or presenting their own conflicting ideas. Just a good solid hour of things to think about without a bunch of emotional foggy ness.

Really enjoying the content and that the dialogue is not just about the carnivore diet. Zach, need to work on the “uhh’s” and “like’s” as they are said very frequently and distract from dialogue.

Audio quality has improved significantly from earlier episodes, changed to 5 stars. These guys are legit athletes and ask good questions. It would help to introduce guests for those that don’t know their research, for example, like they do at research talks when they introduce speakers.

I love listen to this podcast. Very educational and honest ! They always have great guests and they cover awesome range of topics and questions.

Love the info! It’s unreal. For someone who just wants to listen and learn without any selfishness and people going on about random crap this is it

I would listen to this podcast more regularly if it had better audio. It’s frustrating to put effort into trying to understand the guests because their audio is fuzzy or cutting out. I genuinely want to listen to this podcast, it has good content and I think it’s important but we gotta be able to hear what people are saying.

I just recently learned about the carnivore movement, despite being Keto for 2 years now. In the last month I have really paid attention to what Dr. Baker has been saying , and I cannot get enough information! One of the best podcasts ever!
