Episode 343: Fueling the Corporate Athlete: Stress, Supplements & Performance with Dan Hunter

On this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dan Hunter to talk all things “corporate athlete.” If you’re trying to crush it at work and not feel like a melted quesadilla by 3 p.m., this one’s for you.

We dig into the real-world challenges of staying sharp under stress, from building sustainable habits to fueling your brain with tools like creatine, ketones, and amino acids. We also explore how physical stress affects cognitive performance, the importance of trust-building, and what actually works when it comes to supplements. Tons of actionable takeaways here for anyone looking to upgrade both body and brain in high-stress environments.
