of metabolic stress and how that affects things like inflammation,

protein synthesis and adaptive response to training. Some really cool stuff which we'll talk about.

Dr. Willis has a fascinating background. He was got, obviously he's in research at the moment.

He's a postdoctoral fellow looking at things like metabolic stress,

inflammation, the role in health disease and exercise performance. But before he dive deep
