About this episode

Dante DiMatteo discusses the significance of VO2 Max in fitness and answers a listener's question about red wine consumption.

But making that the key indicator of fitness is a trap. Then, Dante fields a listener question: What do you do when red wine turns your face, well...bright red. How can you enjoy a glass while avoiding that awful face flush and the terrible feeling that comes along with it? We love questions!
