You know, hitting some of these walls where guys and gals are going to struggle and then

maybe catching a bad cold or flu with the wrong time of year, obviously when you're

peaking for a competition is what everyone's trying to avoid, right?

more fragmented sleep, so athlete health and also strictness of performance.

I have a master's degree in physiology, biomechanics and human nutrition.

I've spent the past two decades competing in some of the most massacistic events on the

planet from seal-fit Kakoro, spardanagogy and the world's toughest mudder to 13 Ironman

triathlons, brutal bohunts, adventure races, spearfishing, plant foraging, freediving,

bodybuilding, and beyond.

I combine this intense time in the trenches with a blend of ancestral wisdom and modern

science, search the globe for the world's top experts in performance, fat loss, recovery,

hormones, brain, beauty, and brawn to deliver you this podcast.

Everything you need to know to live an adventurous, joyful, and fulfilling life.

My name is Ben Greenfield.

Enjoy the ride.

All right, strap on, think in caps, because we're going to geek out on exercise and sports

science, taking a deep dive with my brilliant guest today, wrote a fantastic book, Dr. Mark

Bubbs.
