Join Tom in this episode as he reports on his four-day challenge to ride 200 miles in preparation for the two-day 206-mile Seattle to Portland ride happening just one month. Through his daily reports, he delves into topics such as food and hydration, knee pain, and how to manage intensity levels.
Tom reveals the results of a body composition analysis, which includes the comment that he "is a potentially obese adult". To gain deeper insight into this issue, he interviews clinical weight management expert Sandra Christensen, delving into the obstacles that hinder so many Americans from achieving healthy body fat percentages. An important part of the discussion is Tom's candid sharing of how depression has contributed to his health challenges.
This episode is packed with information catered to those aiming to sustain a healthy lifestyle, particularly in later life. It is especially relevant for individuals interested in understanding more about the importance of healthy weight management.
