SHOW NOTES
Is cardio or HITT the villain for your health and hormones? If so, does that make strength training batman? 
There are claims out there that if you do cardio you’ll stress your body and create hormonal chaos. Are these true?
In today’s episode, I talk about the effects of cardio on your health, hormones and immune function. We look at the current research on HIIT training and its role in inflammation, PMS, health and body composition. 
I talk about the difference between short term inflammation versus chronic inflammation and why you can train hard and still be healthy.
