It's hard to believe we are celebrating our 150th episode! Thank you all for following along over the last three years. Today, we are diving into how to get back into the gym after being sick. Being sick sucks, and this time of year it's hard to avoid. Listen in as Alex talks about his recent experience being sick, how to listen to your body, and how to know when you need a break—plus, he answers a few listener questions.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
