53. The Science of Recovery: How Genetics Can Change Your Game with Dr. Kendal Stewart

On this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi sits down with Dr. Kendal Stewart—MD, neurosurgical specialist, and expert in genetic-based performance and recovery—for a deep dive into the science that athletes need to know.

They break down the reasons behind chronic injury, the genetic factors most athletes overlook, and how things like inflammation, nutrition, and recovery speed can make or break a career. Dr. Stewart also shares why postural control matters more than most realize, how new blood tests are changing the way we handle concussions, and what it means to train smarter—not harder.

Genetic testing for athletes
