It's not every week you go from seeing someone take their last breath from a preventable disease to providing a cutting edge medical procedure to a high-level athlete...unless you're Marc Estes.
Starting is career in emergency medicine, Marc has seen just about every level of sickness imaginable (and has some pretty hilarious stories, if you get a chance to meet him). But after years of dealing with people who just wanted a quick fix, he knew he had to do something different.
In this episode, Lucas and Marc describe the vast differences between those suffering from physical sickness and those working towards pinnacle fitness....and how there may not be as much difference as you might think.
