Listen Later

We are told that we are living longer and are healthier than ever before in human existence, but when we look a little closer we realise this simply isn’t true. We are sick, unhappy and some predict that our children will not live as long as us for the first time in history!

Dr. Bobby Cheema is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Senior Lecturer and Researcher at Western Sydney University and an Associate Researcher at the National Institute of Complementary Medicine. He has 25 years of experience in exercise physiology and prescription, and is internationally recognized for the quality of his work and his multiple published studies. He is a husband, father, keen surfer and true teacher.
