Dr. Wong joined me for an insightful conversation that takes us through the body’s responses to stress and how stress can impact our body’s ability to put on muscle, recover from exercise and age optimally.

He also walks us through a myriad of reasons why endurance athletes should consider cross-training to prevent injuries, even at the expense of potentially cutting workouts a few miles short to do so.

What we discuss during the episode:

I learned a lot from our conversation and it was a great reminder for me to incorporate some simple movements and habits back into my daily life.
