So as the year 2020 has an ever-changing landscape with COVID 19 and race events cancelling globally I felt the need to react accordingly with the Podcast. I know we will eventually get back into the race season; we just simply don’t know when and because of that it may be disheartening and difficult to find motivation to put in those long hours preparing for an IRONMAN. Not only that, but in a time where a virus runs ramped in our society I think the last thing we want to do is put anymore pressure on our immune system by risking over-training. Therefore, one of the shifts in the podcast I wanted to introduce is incorporating more health and wellness information across the platform so that we as endurance athletes can get the longevity out of our passions. This means I’d like to start having on experts across the health and wellness scene talk about ways we can best supplement our current endurance training, whether its alternative training advice, health advice, supplement education and more. That’s why I am excited to have on Dr. David Minkoff. A quick Synopsis of his medical background here; David has a background in researching and developing new medicines to fight viral disease and he is also a board certified pediatrics Doctor that’s transitioned into alternative medicine to help the chronically ill and puts an emphasis on overall health and toxin mitigation. David also lives what he preaches with over 43rd IRONMAN finishes at age 71 and he enacts as the prime example of just how far you can go in the sport if you take the healthy approach and make the most out of longevity in triathlon. I’m delighted we have David on to talk with us about his triathlon journey and how we can get the best performances out of ourselves through health. David has extensive insight and knowledge around nutritional supplementation for optimal health and performance and has worked tirelessly on creating supplements to help athletes stay healthy through training. Back in 2000 David founded Body Health, a nutrition company which offers all-natural vitamins and supplements which happen to specialize in Vegan, non-GMO, Gluten Free & Organic supplements for your health and performance. In this podcast we chat about what supplementation is most beneficial for endurance athletes and what the reasoning is behind needing certain vitamins and supplements to counteract the effects of extreme endurance training as well as our everyday environmental toxins that are causing us chronic illness and suffering. This is an excellent podcast and the privilege is all mine to be speaking with a pioneer of our sport! Now: Let’s get into it.
