#301 | MM - Plant-Powered Athletic Performance & Endurance

Alter Your Health

A healthy and vital body is best capable of high-level athletic performance.
Athleticism and endurance have always been important to me, Dr. Ben. I've never competed at an elite level or anything, but it feels good to be fast, strong, and capable of doing hard things. Therefore, I do my best to better my performance and continue feeling great with a main goal of simply enjoying the experience of my body's full potential immersed in nature.
In today's episode, I share my personal relationship to strength and endurance training, including, of course, nutrition, supplementation, recovery, hydration, sleep, and more.
If you are hoping to build strength and endurance in your life endeavors, I hope this helps to inform and inspire. If athletic pursuits feel like a far-off fantasy given your current experience of health, know that your healing body is capable of more than you may realize!
