Concluding Reflections and Calls to Action with Dr. Greg Wells

As trainers and coaches, we love to talk about training…

…but why does it feel like we still under-value the importance of recovery?

Well if you’re looking for ways to clear the mental fog, recover more efficiently, and really take your game to the next level, you’re going to love this week’s episode of the podcast!

For Dr. Greg Wells, health and performance, particularly under extreme conditions, are personal and professional obsessions. As a scientist and physiologist, he has dedicated his career to making the science of human limits understandable and actionable.

For over 25 years, Dr. Wells has worked with some of the highest-performing individuals on the planet, including Olympic and World champions, and with organizations like General Electric, BMW, Audi, Air Canada, and many others.

Greg is author of five best-selling books and hosted the award-winning Superbodies series, which aired on Olympic broadcasts worldwide in 2010 and 2012.

In this show, we’re going to take a look into what it means to be a 24-hour athlete, the importance of REAL recovery in our lives, and if you’ve ever had “one of those days,” how to hit the reset button and get yourself back to baseline faster than ever before.

Check your habits. Optimize your routines. But craft rituals to take yourself to the next level.  – Dr. Greg Wells
