Why are we doing this episode? Em’s been quite sick. Pete has been injured. Some tips and tricks to get your head right about being sick or injured.

1. Acknowledge your illness

Emmy was in denial about her sinusitis…. And what was the result? Advice we ask our children…. “What did we learn?”

2. Ask for help

Emmy kept working when she shouldn't have

3. Sleep (Should probably be #1 on this list..... seriously get more sleep)

Kept working, not resting and paid the price.

4. Careful of work outs: We’re not getting any younger….

Anxiety about an upcoming race can lead to overtraining (Pete)

Trying to do too much/not rehabbing elbow.

5. Heart rate variability

R to R interval. Can use to gauge work outs etc.

6. Vitamin C

Might decrease duration of viral illness

7. If I’m antibiotics - take probiotics for duration and 3 days following

8. Drink water (should probably be #2 on this list after Sleep.)

9. Avoid alcohol

10. More important than ever to eat healthy but usually people use an illness to justify eating whatever

11. If you do eat unhealthy, have grace, move on. Stress is worst

12. Acknowledge the fear

Stoicism: Shifting my perspective from “lifting” to “rehabilitation”

Stoicism: What can you control now?
