Professional Grade Supplements for WiseAthletes
Hey Everyone, welcome to WiseAthletes, your source for discovering how to flourish as an older athlete, and finding your path to longevity in sport. I'm your host Joe Lavelle.
Chronic low grade inflammation underlies all states of sickness and disease associated with aging. Everything that is "healthy" is probably good for chronic inflammation but eating blueberries or taking magnesium or focusing on nasal breathing are just too specific... not fundamental enough. What I want to know is what is the #1 best way to target inflammaging that will make a difference....I can worry about the marginal gains later.
Having said that.....what would you ask if you got a chance to talk to a PhD who is a retired academic researcher in multiple areas of human physiology, was a professional athlete in two sports, has been a lifelong bodybuilder, and who is now coaching top level athletes and older high performing older around the world? What would you ask him? Right....so would I. On episode 147 I took a deep dive into inflammaging with Dr. Dwayne Jackson to understand his approach to stop chronic inflammation from reducing our ability to perform and recover, and improve our health along the way. He did not disappoint.
Dr Jackson even shared his secret breakfast feast that I have been eating every morning ever since. Be ready to take some notes.
This episode will definitely help if you find that you are....
- Recovering from exercise more slowly?
- Cutting calories but still cannot lose that last bit of visceral fat?
- Eliminating healthy foods because you can't digest them well...feel bloated...get constipated?
All right, let's talk to Dr Dwayne Jackson about resolving chronic inflammation.
