The spring of 2004 found Dr. Minkoff, MD, a complementary and alternative healthcare expert, guest lecturer, writer, and triathlete, preparing for his first Ironman race of the year. Additionally, he was bombarded by questions and emails from other triathletes, athletes and the general public asking him questions about fitness, training, nutrition, supplements and specifically how to increase speed, power, endurance and recovery. Many were complaining of post workout soreness, long recovery times and training to the point of getting sick. He wanted to answer each question personally but the volumes had become prohibitive, so he created the online BodyHealth newsletter.
The BodyHealth newsletter became the platform for Dr. David Minkoff to answer all the fitness questions he was getting. Dave Scott, world renowned coach and the first Ironman World Champion to be inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame, joined Dr. Minkoff providing articles, and answering reader questions about training and nutrition. Team BodyHealth members, sponsored by BodyHealth.com Inc also provide articles and reveal some of their training secrets.
“Health is not a static state,” says Dr. Minkoff, “it is determined by the daily lifestyle choices you make and the inherited strengths and weaknesses of your body. All individuals have their own unique optimum health for their body. This optimum state is a condition that can be measured by both objective and subjective indicators. This especially applies to the athlete who wishes to improve his fitness and his race times.”
In addition to writing journal articles and speaking engagements, Dr. Minkoff writes the BodyHealth Newsletter to empower individuals about their health and fitness. For more information or to sign-up for a free subscription visit (http://www.bodyhealth.com/
