Quotable moments:

"We see like three to six fold increases in lactate from BFR versus non BFR, intensity equated sessions. And so you get this massive dump of lactate." - Steven Borden

"In general, like you're just sharper for the next couple of hours, but maybe more importantly, over the next few decades, you're helping the health of your brain." - Steven Borden

"I think I don't want people to think that they have to have this optimal scenario to live and to thrive. We have most of what we need with food, basic exercise, sleep, community, et cetera." - Dr. Erik Korem

"There are some tools that modern science is giving us that we should definitely consider. And I really think as long as you don't have any contraindications, this is something that you should be using." - Dr. Erik Korem
