Podcast by the pool

I LOVE a good podcast. When done well, it is both informative and relaxing. On top of that, the intimate quality of it can make me me feel like I am having a really good talk with a very clever friend.

One of my favorite travel companions is Dr. Rhonda Patrick, an American biomedical scientist who is passionate about democratizing medical knowledge. In her binge-worthy ‘FoundMyFitness’ podcast, she shares the latest research on aging, brain health, physical performance, well-being and nutrition. The best part: she does it in such a way that you understand how to integrate this information into your daily routine. From the relationship between systematic inflammation and depression to the recipe for a low-carb lemon tart; Rhonda’s tips can change your health, and therefor, your life. All that, while you’re lying on the beach or by the pool!

Bram shared some interesting alternatives with me, from throwing out our phones to running ‘till we puke’.
