The Endurance Experience Podcast

In this episode, a conversation with Dr. Nadia N. Abuelezam, Sc.D, an epidemiologist and assistant professor at Boston College. She has a broad research agenda including inequities in health outcomes and healthcare access in resource poor settings and vulnerable populations. We discuss the latest details around the coronavirus pandemic and the latest guidance around mitigating transmission. We talk about what we know and what we don't know about the risk profile based upon the information we have thus far. Dr. Abuelezam is also an endurance enthusiast and we discuss whether or not there are any material facts related to the coronavirus that are of note for endurance enthusiasts. We discuss the credibility of the notion of boosting one's immune system. We have a conversation about the disproportionate effects of covid-19 on the black and latino community. Finally, we examine what the path back to normalcy is and what it might look like.
