    More Effective than Steroids: Dr. Craig Heller on Thermoregulation and Muscle Performance

    This week's guest is Dr. Craig Heller, a Stanford biology professor who has spent decades studying thermoregulation, circadian rhythms, and human performance. Dr. Heller explains his groundbreaking discovery that cooling specific hairless surfaces of the body (the palms, soles, and face) can dramatically extend endurance, strength, and recovery. From enabling athletes to push past muscle failure to offering practical solutions for both heat exhaustion and hypothermia, his research has profound implications for training, competition, and even medical recovery. It’s a fascinating conversation about how the body manages heat, why performance often fails when it does, and how simple interventions might redefine human limits. Hope you enjoy.
