In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams interviews Human Performance expert Don Moxley. They delve into the role of cannabinoids, particularly in the context of the "runner's high" and their benefits for recovery and performance. Don emphasizes that while everyone trains hard, the key to improved performance lies in effective recovery. He views training through an economic lens, focusing on the efficiency of workouts to trigger optimal metabolic responses without overtraining.
Don highlights the extensive, albeit often overlooked, research on cannabis and its benefits for recovery, particularly the use of CBD and CBDA. He discusses the history of cannabis in medicine and the current political landscape affecting its reclassification. Despite the stigma, he notes the substantial potential benefits of various cannabinoids and terpenes for recovery and performance enhancement.
Brad shares his personal journey of shifting from high-intensity training focused on aesthetics to a more balanced approach emphasizing recovery and smarter training techniques. They touch on the benefits of blood flow restriction training, which allows for effective workouts with reduced weights, aiding recovery and performance, especially as one ages.
The conversation also covers the importance of sourcing quality CBD products, the impact of different cannabinoid compositions, and the significance of heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of recovery and overall health. Don advises focusing on continuous improvement in HRV scores and emphasizes the importance of addressing fear and trauma responses in daily life.
To wrap up, Don provides information on where listeners can learn more about his products and connect with him, emphasizing his preference for personal conversations over emails. The episode is a deep dive into the interplay between cannabinoids, recovery, and performance, offering practical insights for those over 40 looking to optimize their fitness and well-being.
