This supplement would seem to be the answer to all that ails you if you give any credence to the innumerable influencers who proselytize about its benefits. But what does the science say and specifically, what does it say with respect to endurance athletes? On the Medical Mailbag we dig in and try to find the real answers. Then, our guest Silas Eastman brings us on a wild ride through the world of cross country skiing and the upcoming roller ski competition in the Caribbean. Yep, you heard that right! We’re talking about skiing where it’s sunny and the only chill is your drink. Silas enlightens us on why cross country skiing is the perfect sport for all ages, and how it’s actually easier on the body than running. We also highlight the benefits of this unique sport for triathletes looking to up their game. Get ready for a lively discussion that will leave you questioning your workout routine and maybe even planning a trip to the Caribbean to try it out yourself!
