Featured Topic: Athletes and weekend warriors are constantly searching for new ways to manage nagging injuries, or allow them to compete in their basketball league, 5K or triathlon without aggravating a sore spot.

In this September 30, 2009 free audio episode, I discover the results of my blood, urine and saliva testing for ferritin, vitamin D, essential amino acids, blood pH, testosterone:cortisol ratios, magnesium and calcium breakdown, as well as the outcome of the metabolic typing questionnaire - all tests performed by a company called "Bioletics". The reason I chose to have these tests performed by Bioletics, which is operated by physician Dr. Richard Cohen and pro triathlete/health adviser Tim Monaco, is because it actually allows people to test for all these variables from the comfort of their own home.
