Andrew Herr, Founder & CEO of Fount, shares his first-of-its-kind jet lag protocol to maintain and even optimize health and wellness while traveling. Flying is rough on the body, and Andrew discovered why. He explains the inflammatory response that occurs due to the change in air pressure, which impairs how you think, feel, and perform. In combination with changing time zones, the effects on the body can be extreme. But, as Andrew explains, you can biohack jet lag.
