In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, Dr. Jim Stray-Gundersen talks with me about blood flow restriction (BFR) and its practical application for sports, rehabilitation and health conditions. BFR training has broad effects–and benefits– across your biology. 

“In 20 minutes, you can get more or less a full body workout and that's all you need on a daily basis,” he says. “It's not just about building big muscles, it's about essentially upgrading all the systems that are involved in exercise.”

Dr. Jim is co-founder and chief medical officer of B Strong, the founder of the S-G Performance Medicine Center, and the Sports Science Advisor for the US Ski and Snowboard Association. 

As a physician, researcher and professor, he’s treated thousands of patients and authored thousands of articles over a career spanning more than 40 years. He has extensive experience in the area of sports physiology and has worked with Olympic athletes in various disciplines. 

“The lessons that are learned from elite sport can be translated into helping the everyday population live healthier and better lives,” he says.

We go all in on his study and research of altitude training, local and systemic hypoxia, growth hormones, and metabolic crisis--and what all of this has to do with BFR.

Considered a world-renowned expert in blood flow restriction training, Dr. Jim believes that BFR will revolutionize training and rehabilitation everywhere. Listen on to find out how.
