chats with Running Influencers, Researchers, Olympians, Experts & Everyday Runners
Health:Fitness & Nutrition
My guest today participated in over 40 Iron Man competitions, which is admirable on its own.
But when you hear about what he’s been doing for the health and wellness for the runners he has met, you are really going to be impressed.
David Minkoff got his start as a doctor in emergency medicine, but after mercury poisoning threatened his wife, he rearranged his priorities.
We all know how running can start to rearrange our lives, and David takes it to the next level.
With over 20 years experience learning about health, wellness, and the human body – as well as running and training on his own – David has developed an almost fool-proof wellness company called Body Health.
That’s right!
It’s the same Body Health that creates my favorite supplement, Perfect Amino! We talk today about Perfect Amino and the ways you can rearrange your priorities in order to better benefit your health and wellness.
