In today's video we discuss the trend of anti aging experts like Peter Attia and Rhonda Patrick suggesting that VO2 max is important for longevity. Do they really mean you should be doing VO2 specific workouts for the rest of your life, or is it that people with a genetically high VO2 max might have a better chance of living longer? This is another example of getting caught up in the minutiae and not focusing on the bigger picture of simply getting enough sleep, working out as much as you can whenever you can, and focusing on variety in your workouts. What they are suggesting might be ideal, is likely not practical for most people.

In this episode we talk about the rise of anti aging experts online like Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick and Andrew Huberman. They're all very well spoken, highly educated, and each of them have a laundry list of things to do in order to avoid an early death. But are these people stressing so much about trying to live longer that they might actually be shortening their lives?

In todays episode we review the results of high dose niacin for LDL, HDL, Triglycerides and Lp(a). We also review the side effects it seems to be causing, and discuss a plan to manage it moving forward.

In this episode we discuss the assertion that you have to become and entirely different person to lose weight. If this is true there is little hope of anyone achieving sustainable weight loss. This cannot be how it has to be, if it is true, who are your now and who is it you must become?

There is a narrative that Ozempic causes dramatic loss of muscle mass along with fat mass. However if you lift weights you will not lose any muscle mass, and can in fact gain muscle while losing fat at the same time. In today's episode we review a care report of a client who did just that and gained 29lbs of muscle was while using Ozempic.

In this episode we review a clever study that shows how exercise is a potent tool for maintaining significant weight loss after an extreme low calorie diet.

In this episode Brad starts us off with an abstract example comparing chainsaws to exercise. The point is there are many experts in exercise giving advice online, and it's easy to get caught up following the wrong advice. We go on to talk about how easy it is to lose sight of your original goal, and the importance of checking in with yourself and being honest when you evaluate if you're truly pursuing your goals, or have be hijacked and adopted someone else's goals.

Brad did his masters thesis on intermittent fasting which he turned into his popular book "Eat Stop Eat". This was almost 15 years ago, and since then we've coached 1000's of people on intermittent fasting and how to use it as a tool for weight loss and overall health. In today's episode we go back to the beginning when Brad first started researching intermittent fasting, and walk you through all the variations we've tried and many of our clients have tried. In some cases people took it to an extreme that we don't recommend, but it was informative to see what happened when they pushed it. This is both a walk through of the history of the modern re-emergence of intermittent fasting and some practical tips on how to incorporate it into your fitness routine.

There is an ever growing amount of diet and fitness information, research and advice available online. It's impossible to consume it all, and even more unrealistic to attempt to follow even a fraction of what you can find. More and more information isn't going to accelerate your results, in almost all cases it will leave you stuck in the starting gates with analysis paralysis. During this talk we are going to show you how far back diet and fitness advice goes, and how it's always been mired by the idea that there is a better way to do it. We make the case that 70's era bodybuilders had it all figure out, without reading blogs or research papers, and consuming 100's of hours podcasts. It is a simple process that requires far more action than analysis.

In this episode we discuss the difference between population health and individual health. As an example, I explain how I discovered I had lung cancer by taking the initiative to get preventative screening done even though I had no symptoms. This is an example of taking healthcare into my own hands as an individual vs letting the medical system tell me what to do based on overall population data. Statistically there was a very low likelihood I would find something like cancer given my age and lack of symptoms, yet I found it! We talk about the difference between individual and population health, the trade off's and costs associated with preventative screening and testing, and where population health recommendations seem to be helpful and were they seem to fall short for you as an individual. If you want to take preventative action then that should be your decision to make, in the end, it's your body, your health and your life.
