Dr. Ammer Dbeis, orthopedic surgery resident from Ventura, CA, joins us on this episode to discuss the practice of Ramadan along with some of his own experiences. Ramadan is a holy month in Islamic or Muslim tradition in which you fast from food and water from dawn until sunset. It is a time meant for introspection and spiritual growth. However, it can also put a strain on your health and fitness goals if you aren't prepared. Learn how you can strategize and plan ahead to make sure you still see success during this time.
