Episode II: From Diving to Environmental Physiologist: Exploring Human Limits in Extreme Environments ft. Dr. Hayden Hess

SummaryIn this conversation, Dr. Chris Perry interviews UB ENS colleague Dr. Hayden Hess, where he discusses his research in extreme physiology, focusing on how the human body responds to extreme environmental conditions such as heat, cold, altitude, and underwater environments. He shares insights from his experiences in diving research, the importance of understanding human responses to environmental stress, and the implications for health and performance. The discussion also covers practical applications for managing heat stress, hydration myths, and the simplicity of strength and conditioning. Dr. Hess emphasizes the importance of curiosity and understanding the 'why' behind exercise science in teaching and practice.
