The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job.

The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer.

Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts.

So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you’ll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring.

Dr. David Heitmann joins the podcast to discuss the elements of injury, injury rehabilitation, programming for the long-term, and stoic philosophy.

“I just said, "screw it!" I changed my mindset. I said I'm in control of my own destiny. And I started focusing on my health instead of the business. It changed my whole world around.”

Dr. David Heitmann

Who is Dr. David Heitmann

The path to high performance doesn't come without bumps in the roads.  Dr. Heitmann had 14 broken bones and torn ligaments, his foot chopped up in a lawnmower, nerve traction injuries, debilitating sciatic pain, and even a period in his life which could be described as an "overstressed dark time."

Dr. Dave experienced severe depression, brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, joint pain, swelling, stress fractures, and even had 3 teeth crack in half which had to be removed. 

All of these amazing experiences have taught him about the journey of health.

Dr. David Heitmann's obsession with health and performance started out of a love for football in 4th grade.  Dr. Dave was a 5 sport athlete growing up and played competitive football and rugby until he was 27. College allowed him to geek out on with a double major in biochemistry and molecular biology. As if that was not enough, he also did research in biomechanics and energetics. 

From there, Dr. Dave went to get his Doctor of Chiropractic along with a Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation completing 600 hours of training around Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Certified Strength and Conditioning.

In his 10 years of owning a sports medicine clinic, he's treated 4700 patients. Dr. Dave was the medical director of 12 sports teams and provided athletic training services for most of them. He was the onsite medical provider for more than 100 endurance races, and was contracted provider for a hospital system.

The list goes on...

Key Highlights:

• [5:57] - Dr. Dave's background, degrees, and experience in the sports medicine world
• [8:24] Dr. Dave's injuries (warning, involves a lawnmower)
• [10:02] The burnout of running your own business
• [17:49] Stress buckets and what happens when you empty it
• [20:42] The problem with exercise programs designed by pro athletes
• [22:50] What is an injury?
• [23:20] Dr. Dave and Boomer discuss Boomer's knee injury
• [26:30] The significance of 3-month cycles in programming
• [28:12] Microdosing ligament flexibility
• [31:52] Why society needs "traditional" medical doctors

Frank Llosa discusses ketone esters, racemic versus non-racemic ketone salts, and why you should really pay attention to those terms on the label of exogenous ketones.

“It costs so much more to be non-racemic. They are going to put it on the package. They’re not going to accidentally sell you something that costs them 10 times more.”

Who is Frank Llosa?

Frank Llosa is the founder and CEO of KetoneAid – the same ketone ester company that raised over $150,000 on Indiegogo (5X their projected target!) to continue research on their ketone ester product. They had so many people pre-order the product, that they had to stop the offer. He got into the wide world of ketones after his wife’s godfather – the creator of the exogenous ketone Dr. Richard Veech tapped him on the shoulder.
