Great podcast for tactical athletes
Fireman and veteran. This company and podcast is the most relevant I’ve found to overall fitness for first responders. This has helped me more than any book, podcast, or program in my physical success in my job. I’d like to see Firemen on the show who’ve implemented 02X in their daily lives, and see how they tailor it to their profession.

I want to know the impact a long shift like that has on mental health, sleep health, being “on edge” and ready to respond for a prolonged period of time like 24+ hours consistently. Difference between 12hr s... more
