This episode is sponsored by Welbeck – Providing Beyond Better HealthcareWhy does recovery feel harder in midlife? Why do aches, pains, tendon problems and injuries seem to appear out of nowhere in your 40s and beyond? And are all those recovery trends actually worth your time and money? In this episode, Lauren & Nicole are joined by Dr Lorenzo Masci, Sports and Exercise Medicine Physician at Welbeck Orthopaedics, to unpack the science behind exercise, recovery, ageing and injury prevention.
