672: How to Personalize Your Healthspan Journey with Rachele Pojednic


Listen Later

When you search online for ways to live a healthy life, you're bombarded by charismatic speakers, some with medical degrees or PhDs, promising miracle cures. From cancer treatments to fat-burning morning rituals and an endless array of supplements claiming to unlock the fountain of youth, the noise is overwhelming.

Some of these claims contain a grain of truth; others are pure fiction. But in nearly every case, they distract from what truly matters—focusing on minor details that won’t meaningfully impact your health tomorrow, next year, or even a decade from now. The fundamentals of health, fitness, and longevity may not be flashy, but they are essential. In this week’s podcast, we hear from a PhD researcher and educator whose work focuses on healthspan and longevity.

Listen and learn:

  • Why the science community often lacks the communication and marketing skills for their ideas
  • How quickly simply-sounding health data can be misinterpreted
  • The real risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and what to do about it
  • Why your health in later life is often the compounding of small behaviors over years or decades
