Dr. Andy Galpin

Welcome to 2%.

I am your host, Michael Easter.

If you've been listening to this podcast at all, you will know that about a year ago at this time, I was on a hike through Southern Utah for 45 days straight.

I walked about a marathon a day.

Now, leading up to this, I had a lot of questions about how to prepare for it physically.

So I emailed the smartest man alive when it comes to human performance.

We're talking to Andy Galpin today.

And what Andy did is right before I left for my hike, right after and 45 days after, he took a bunch of my biological measurements and then he analyzed them.

He wanted to know what happens to the human body during an insane endurance event like I did.

And what he found was really mind-blowing.

It surprised him, it surprised me, and it can give us all lessons about how to approach endurance, fitness, sleep, all these big different questions.

So we're not only gonna talk about what he found via all of my blood, urine, et cetera samples,

but also what he's found working with the greatest athletes in the world.

He's worked with MVPs.

He's worked with Cy Young award winners.

He's worked with USC champions.

And those lessons actually hold for the rest of us who aren't extreme athletes.

So we're going to get into specific tactics that you can use in your daily life to live better, to eat better, to sleep better, to perform better, and just to be a more resilient human who can do anything life throws at you.

So with all that said, we're going to bring in Andy right now.

Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.
