In this high-performance episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sean Drake, a man who’s treated athletes from the NFL, MLB, PGA, and Team USA, to talk about what really drives recovery and performance. Sean shares the game-changing insight that it’s not just about muscles and bones; it’s about nervous system adaptability and learning how to regulate the body under stress.We unpack the foundations of elite recovery: hydration, light exposure, temperature, mindset, and spiritual connection. We also dive into Sean’s nonprofit work, his definition of movement as medicine, and how to translate Olympic-level recovery to everyday life.
