EP. 38: Athlete Vaccine Hesitancy and Injury Recovery Protocols w/Dr. Jeff Sankoff, M.D.

A conversation with Dr. Jeff Sankoff, MD. He is an Emergency Physician, long time triathlete and USAT/IRONMAN University Certified coach and an accomplished triathlete himself. He produces the TriDoc Podcast that can be found on most popular podcast platforms and he’s the founder of LifeSport Coaching.

We have a conversation about vaccine hesitancy in the athletic arena. In this conversation you’ll see we remain sympathetic to those that have had inequities but at the same, using a couple of the more high-profile cases, we are able to examine some of the common arguments recirculating among some athletic people and groups. Dr. Sankoff gives his thoughts from the perspective of a physician using a science and evidence-based stance.

Find out what a doctor would say regarding vaccine hesitancy in the form of the “I am young and fit” narrative or the “I have natural immunity” position. Dr Sankoff also talks about the “personal choice” argument.

We transition to a conversation about injury recovery protocols of endurance athletes and Dr. Sankoff lends his expertise to allow the listeners to shape their understanding of what has sound evidence and what does not.
