Ep. 91 Using Glabrous Skin Cooling Will Increase Muscle Performance More Than Anabolic Steroids

Hey Everyone,

Did you know that you can increase your exercise performance by 40, 50, even 60% by just using cooling properly? I didn’t until recently. In this episode I discuss Craig Heller’s fascinating research into body temperature regulation using very simple techniques.

I also talk about HRV and how it can be used to evaluate your life, like whether you are over exercising or even on the wrong diet
