Dr Maffetone is a physician, athletic coach, and best-selling health and fitness author. He is also a singer-songwriter and music producer. We discuss his new book B-Sharp and how to train your brain for optimal health and athletic performance. I have learned so much from him over the years to optimize our health and fitness in a holistic way. Decades ago Dr Maffetone already talked about the benefits of MAF low heart rate training, many years before Zone 2 training had mainstream awareness like it has now.

For hot weather months I love running in the AirDot T or Tank. Recently we collaborated with Believe in the Run on a limited PATH shirt. My favorite shorts are The Graves PX 7” shorts, with 4 pockets to carry my phone, gels and keys. Below these shorts I wear a separate base liner, the Lynx liner in 5”. The separate short from liner eliminates all chafing, it’s a game changer for long distance running too. For a limited time only, get 10% off your PATH order at PATHprojects.com/FLO.

Here is a great quote by famous music producer Rick Rubin:

“Phil is usually 30 years ahead of the curve. If he is singing the praises of the healing power of music today, I imagine in 2053 it will be accepted mainstream care!”—Rick Rubin, music producer
