It Is All About The Individual, Not The Big Medical Studies: Dr. Max Testa

What can we learn from the team doctor for elite athletes who has
helped on nearly 30 Tours de France and is now working with us
mortals? Why are athletes taking Viagra for performance? What are
the health benefits of exercise? How are exercise and diet
personal to each person? Why do we need to re-evalute all medical
and drug studies and go more with the individual?

Dr. Max Testa is a sports medicine physician and coach whose
methodology emphasizes the importance of a fine-tuned human
engine to help athletes reach peak performance. He now works at
the Park City Hospital in sports medicine seeing patients of
every level of fitness, with and without medical conditions. Dr.
Max Testa discusses nitric oxide, the benefits of exercise, how
everyone’s diet and fitness is personal to them, heart rate, and
more. 


“At the end of the day, you have to go back to basics. Your diet
has to be mainly based on healthy food.” 


“If your blood pressure goes down, your heart has to spend less
energy to pump the same amount of blood per minute.” 


“Often we hear the concept of exercise as a medicine or exercise
is medicine and there is nothing more true than that. Exercise
has some pharmacological-like effect on the body.” 


“Not everyone responds to the same training.” 


“I start with what the science shows, for sure, but then I tell
my patient, ‘The result is not as good as I was expecting; maybe
we should try this other thing.’ Sometimes you have to try more
than once to find the right balance.” 


“Everything about exercise and nutrition is multifactorial. You
have to find the key to open your own door.”
