How Altitude Impacts Your Immunity: Lessons from Andorra


Listen Later

In today's episode, I dive into my recent experience skiing in Andorra and the surprising impact that staying at high altitude had on my health and immunity. After spending a week at 1,560 metres above sea level—higher than the UK's tallest peak—I noticed that everyone in our party of ten felt some form of illness, from colds and coughs to digestive issues and headaches. Despite my strong daily running streak and generally robust health, even I was affected. Join me as I unpack why altitude challenges our bodies, what my health metrics revealed, and the precautions you can take if you’re planning a trip to higher elevations. Whether you're an athlete, traveller, or simply curious about altitude’s effect on wellbeing, you’ll find some useful insights here.
