EP 215: Why You’re Not Safe From Cardiovascular Disease If You’re Fit & Other Longevity Myths w/ Joel Jamieson

Always a pleasure having my brother Joel Jamieson back on the show and this time we dove deep into cardiovascular disease and the many misconceptions around it. Joel had his own experience of dealing with it even though he is as fit as can be for his age. 8 out of 10 friends we sent to have an angiogram had blockage without having any symptoms, while also being fit - which is why this is a MUST listen to episode for everyone.

Joel is a best-selling author and one of the world’s foremost authorities on strength, conditioning, and energy systems. His training strategies have been used by thousands of elite performers and top athletes worldwide, including the Navy SEALS, UFC champions, and dozens of teams from the NFL, NBA, MLS, NCAA, and more.
