In this episode David talks to Dr. Nick Trubee. Trubee is a fitness coach with a PhD in Exercise

Physiology. They discuss the importance of sleep, nutrition, and maintaining an active lifestyle,

both physically and mentally. When it comes to health, it takes more than a sack-full of apples to

keep this doctor away.

Dr. Trubee’s philosophy is that exercise should not only be challenging but also fun. He uses

what he calls block programming in workouts: using variation to increase motivation and

performance. He explains the role the nervous system plays in exercise. He also talks about his

studies into cardiovascular health and arterial fitness in firefighters. David and Nick also touch

on creatine and how it not only improves physical health but also cognitive health as well.

Need positivity? The doctor is in!
