E040 - Pushing Yourself to the Limit with Extreme Marathon Runner Josh Mathe

From MD to Entrepreneur with Dr. Pranay Parikh

The skills we learn in sporting activities can translate us into better humans in life, business relationships, and much more. It is a great way to work on ourselves and see what we are made of. There is value in exploring the limits of what we believe we are capable of and finding more about who we are in other areas of life, and sports gives you that opportunity. Josh Mathe, who joins us in this episode, is passionate about the brain and body connection, how endurance sport is critical for life, and how we can work on ourselves in this controlled forum.

Josh Mathe is an award-winning author passionate about using his knowledge and skill set to improve quality of life. He specializes in nutrition for sports performance, weight management, and personal and group training for clients of all levels. When not in the gym, Josh can be found in various settings teaching pain management education, conducting corporate wellness seminars, lecturing on a broad array of current nutrition topics, or running through the wilderness. Josh is uniquely qualified to provide his clients with the tools necessary to succeed due to his personal experience as an athlete that has conquered weight loss and injury demons. When he is not seeking out a new adventure, you can find him working with private clients and teaching Metabolic Conditioning.
