Shrug family this week on Barbell Shrug. Physiology Friday is back. Dr. Nathan Jenkins is coming in to talk about your cardio vascular system and how it improves metabolic health. That's right. You mature meatheads out there. Cardio is the thing that makes you happy and it keeps you really healthy. As always, friends, make sure you get over to rapid health report.com. That is where Dan Garner, Dr. Andy Galpin, are doing a free lab, lifestyle, and performance

analysis, and you can access that over at rapid health report.com. Friends, let's get into

the show.

Welcome to Barrel Strug, Dom Anders Warner, Doug Larson, coach Travis Smash, Nathan Jenkins,

Dr. Nathan Jenkins. That's what we're going to call you today. Typically, that sounds good, Coach Travis Mash, Nathan Jenkins, Dr. Nathan Jenkins.

That's what we're going to call you today.

That sounds good, man.

Thanks for having me.

We got the PhD on here today.

Today on Barbara Strugger, we're talking about cardiovascular health and specifically

kind of starting this thing off, getting into metabolic health, type two diabetes.

And one thing that's super interesting about cardiovascular health to me is anytime, or I would

say it's like the highest level, what do people always say?

I need to work on my cardio and have no idea why they need to work on it.

Outside of they think they're going to like go run better.

But that's probably like just scratching the surface on exactly what they need to be

understanding cardiovascular health for and depth that we're going to be getting into today.

And I'd love to start just kind of understanding as far as like metabolic health, type two diabetes,

things that we're seeing, you know, population wide.

How does cardiovascular health kind of start

to scratch the surface on the, like, health optimization side or living a better life on the

metabolic health side? Yeah. Well, one of the things I'm really fascinated about is the connection between metabolic health and cardiovascular health.
