120 | What we can learn from athletes | with Lara Heimann

447. Preventing Cognitive Decline Through Functional Medicine
Today’s podcast is about what we can learn from professional athletes. Athletes are so fascinating to observe because of the discipline involved when working to be one of the best or the most elite in your sport. They can also teach us a lot about the power of drive and determination and inspire us to think about the potential of our bodies. For instance, what would happen if we put a little bit more effort and energy into our movement and aspirations of being more physically fit? Another thing we can learn from athletes is more about what not to do. Many athletic endeavors are just too demanding to do long-term, and there’s such a big difference between that high level of performance to being retired. Whatever we’re doing, we want it to be sustainable so that we don’t injure ourselves or experience burnout.
