Episode 7: Dr Imtiaz Desai - Lessons learned from a PhD looking at creatine, resistance training, and the gut microbiome

This was a fantastic chat with newly minted PhD, Dr Imtiaz Desai. Imtiaz has recently finished his PhD at UNSW looking at some really cool research around the effect of resistance training and creatine on the gut microbiome. He is now a post-doctoral researcher and trial manager at the Centre for Pain Impact working on the Capacity trial. Imtiaz also recently published a systematic review on the effect of creatine on RT-based body composition changes (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39074168/). Imtiaz provides some great insights to academia and we get into some cool chat around his research. Enjoy the show!

Imtiaz's bio:“Imtiaz is a health and performance expert with global experience in the management and development of small businesses—who loves being on two wheels—and has PhD-level experience in managing clinical research. He has a passion for guiding people and organisations to success and is dedicated to improving human health.”
