Fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702 to explain what PEA is, how palmitoylethanolamide works in the body, why it is attracting attention for chronic and nerve pain, what researchers have discovered about inflammation and exercise recovery, and where the scientific evidence still falls short of some of the bigger supplement claims.The conversation also tackles an important question for runners and active people: could PEA become another useful recovery tool, or are sleep, nutrition, appropriate training load and recovery still far more important than another capsule?
