Your Health. Your Way.

CBD is a hot topic these days. Is it actually helpful? Is it harmful? How does it work? Is it just another version of snake oil?

One of the biggest misconceptions I see surrounding CBD is that people want it to be THC free. However, a truly full-spectrum CBD product does have a very small amount of THC in it which you actually want because all the compounds need to be present to work synergistically. 

I discuss all this and more in this episode as well as talk about what to look for in a quality CBD product.

Currently, about 60% of Americans have one chronic disease and about 40% have two. When you look at both the social and economic impact of those on individuals, families, and communities is devastating. What can we do to change this? And why does it matter?

Most athletes are no strangers to stomach issues during training and racing. But why is it that when it gets hot, things seem to get worse? I dove into the research to find out what science says about stomach issues in the heat and I talk about what you can do to decrease your risk of having GI distress while training or racing in the heat.

In this episode I chat all about how I used the "non-training" training approach for my most recent triathlon and marathon and how that worked out for me. I also talk about the inspiration behind adopting this method and what other athletes can learn from it.
