In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at calcium and why it is far more than just a bone mineral.

The episode explores calcium’s role in bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function, hormone regulation, and recovery, while also looking at newer research around calcium and fat metabolism. Robert explains how calcium supports structural and metabolic functions in the body, why athletes with low energy availability or hormonal imbalances may face greater risks, and which factors can affect calcium absorption and long term bone health.

The episode also covers daily requirements, practical food sources, athlete specific risk factors, and the situations in which supplementation may actually make sense. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand calcium, performance, and the bigger picture behind long term health and resilience.
