Dr. Jimmy Bagley works as an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Director at San Francisco State University’s Muscle Physiology Lab. As a professor, he teaches both undergraduates and graduates Muscle Physiology and Exercise Physiology courses. The bulk of his work revolves around the physical performance of both elite athletes and chronic disease patients, and how exercise benefits their goals. Jimmy also has over 100 scientific articles, book chapters, and abstracts under his name.

Jimmy joins us to discuss the effects of exercise on health, immunity, and longevity. He shares how he found his passion in kinesiology and what made him curious about how the human body responds to exercise. He explains how VR Training helps change our perception of exercise difficulty as well as discusses slow and fast-twitch fibers and their functions. Jimmy also shares his advice for those who feel getting exercise is a chore.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
