She’s also an ultra-distance racer and she knows what she’s talking about. There’s some fascinating stuff that she discovered in the research that she published. First of all, before we jump in, if you listen to my show, very much you know that I’m really big on nutrition, fitness and supplementation. We experienced our entire lives through our bodies, so the better nutrition, fitness supplementation strategy, the better our whole life is.
