Overtraining metrics?

How do i determine whether my workout is too hard? For instance, if I am still not walking 100% normally 4 days after leg day, did I overdue it?

Wired earphones

In a recent AMA you said you used wired earphones, can you elaborate as to why? Data to suggested wireless may be harmful? Thanks and as a resident surgeon, love your content!

TCM, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, shiatsu

Could you do a deep dive on all things traditional Chinese medicine? There's different types of acupuncture, one of which you've discussed a few times (electro acupuncture) but what about other types of acupuncture? Is there science on acupressure mats and shiatsu (uses acupressure points)? Cupping? What about tinctures such as reishi, cordyceps and astragalus, do these work?

post quick answers to AMA questions

With so many great questions being asked here it will be impossible for you to answer most of them on the podcast. It would be great if you could give quick answers or post an information link here on this site to get more of them addressed. Thanks for all you do!

The effects of allergies and antihistamines on brain performance (learning and focusing)

I have had an allergy (dust, pollen, carpet dust, etc.) since childhood, and I use antihistamines regularly. My question is, what is the effect of using antihistamines or allergy drugs on brain performance, such as learning, focusing etc.? Also, should I take antihistamines or not when I need to improve my brain performance in a certain period?
