What if a simple hand squeeze could predict how long you'll live? Exercise scientist Andy Galpin drops some uncomfortable truths that might flip everything you think you know about fitness. Adrian Wells sits down with Galpin to break down why your evening workout could be destroying your sleep and how something as basic as grip strength beats blood pressure at predicting your mortality.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Why exercising within 2-3 hours of bedtime keeps your body hot for 6 hours straight (goodbye, quality sleep)

• How grip strength outperforms cholesterol and BMI as a death predictor - and what that actually means for you

• The 24-48 hour window when your muscles are actually building (hint: it's not when you think)

• Why your body temperature drop is the sleep trigger you're probably sabotaging every night

👤 Perfect for: anyone who works out regularly or wants to understand what their body is actually telling them about their health.
