The science of nutrition has been overshadowed by a variety of beliefs surrounding food and dieting practices. Despite the beliefs, nothing will erase the fact that performance fueling requires a deep understanding of metabolism and the multiple facets that optimize it.

In this episode, Vitality Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer Dan Garner will dive deep into the often-forgotten third pillar: micronutrients. Despite their roles in basic metabolism and physiological processes, micronutrients are criminally under-discussed. 

Tune in to learn about the crucial role these compounds play in aligning your physiology to achieve your specific goals and get the exact playbook on how to ensure optimal levels.

The term "resilience" has been too vague for too long. What's vague cannot be defined. What cannot be defined cannot be measured. And what cannot be measured cannot be objectively improved.

It’s time to change that and set the record straight.

This deep dive into the physiology behind stress and resilience provides clear definitions of what resilience is, how to measure it, the key biomarkers, and methods for building lasting resilience.

Dan also details the case for skeletal muscle as one of the most important organ systems to support both emotional and physical resilience, now and with age.
