EP79: The Hybrid Lab - New Name, Same Lyss. The podcast rebrand and why I did it.

🎙 Welcome to The Hybrid Lab (formerly The Messy Middle Podcast)

In this exciting reintroduction episode, Dr. Alyssa Olenick shares the why behind the rebrand from The Messy Middle to The Hybrid Lab.

Alyssa dives into:

• Why nuance will always be at the heart of her content

• How her brand has shifted to focus on hybrid athletes, runners who lift, and lifters who run

• Her journey from PhD student to expert in hybrid training and exercise science

• A sneak peek into upcoming episode topics like fasting and female training

• The move to more real-time, organic podcasting with live video recordings

• Why this space still matters for busy women who want to learn and apply real science to their training
