40. The Fitness Industry's Biggest Lie with Gary Reinl
Today on The Path, we are joined by Gary Reinl, a seasoned sports medicine professional with a remarkable 50-year career. Gary's expertise spans from working with elite athletes to seniors and the general population. He is also an accomplished author, and one of his groundbreaking books, "Iced! The Illusionary Treatment Option," has had a profound impact on the industry.
In this conversation, the focus is on challenging the traditional belief in ice as a recovery method, shedding light on the detriments of the popular R.I.C.E.
