In the course, I talk about the body's homeostatic regulators and how you can train them. The benefit is enhanced recovery and greater robustness. We cover breathing techniques, CWI, sauna, HIIT, diet, and more. The course will open the first week of April 2022.Note from Dr. Tommy:"A study done by Mandsager K, et al in 2018 compared different levels of fitness to other comorbidities. To be "elite" in my age range you only need a VO2Max of 50ish, so it's not elite in the athlete sense. This is more applicable to real people."Previous Flex Diet Podcast episodes with Dr. Tommy Wood:Episode 109: My First Strongman Competition, Programming, Exercise Selection, Grip Strength, and Conditioning with Dr. Tommy WoodFlex Diet Podcast S2 Ep 4: Insulin and Glucose Myths & more with Guest, Dr. Tommy WoodReferencesMandsager K, Harb S, Cremer P, Phelan D, Nissen SE, Jaber W.
