In this episode with Dr. Ralph Esposito, a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist, we talk about recovery methods and how you can recover your body and your brain in the most natural ways possible.

In order to be having a high performing life, in order to reach your peak performance, you need to learn how to recover and I'm not talking about if your legs hurt or if your arms hurt.

I'm talking about how can you recover your brain? How can you recover the mental aspect of the sport and why is this so important.

We cover the following topics:

Recovery - what it means to recover well and where we are going wrong
Why we self sabotage for the outcome
Why we don't take recovery into account which leads to burn out
How can we manipulate the HPA axis so it works in our favour
