The Engineer Trying to Outsmart Aging w/ Martin Munzer (Ep #54)


Listen Later

Martin Munzer's mom was 86, falling constantly, and her doctors said to let her go. Eight weeks after he changed one thing about what she ate, she was getting out of a chair on her own - and running to answer the doorbell.

Martin is a Master's-trained engineer, a former CEO in the early consumer-genetics world, and the founder of LeapXX - he's spent decades out on the fringe of nutrition and longevity, asking questions the mainstream skips.


What you'll take away:

  • Why "all protein is good protein" is a myth - and what your body actually spends digesting it
  • What epigenetic regulation is, why you lose most of it with age, and what that has to do with feeling old
  • Why one of the most-hyped "superfoods" is nearly useless the way most people eat it
