This podcast episode delves into the science of VO2 Max - the maximum oxygen volume one can use during intense exercise, and its pivotal role not just in athletic performance but also in longevity. Exploring the biological underpinnings, the episode illuminates how this key physiological measure relates to our body's efficiency in oxygen usage and energy production. It details how factors like genetics, age, sex, altitude, and training status impact VO2 Max. 

Joining me today is co-founder of PNOĒ analytics- Panos Papadiamantis. PNOĒ is a technology company that enables health professionals to integrate science-backed nutrition and training into their practice through breath analysis. 

A few things we go over:

• Introduction to VO2 Max: its definition and importance in exercise science.
• Brief on VO2 Max's history, physiological basis, and factors affecting it.
• How VO2 Max predicts athletic performance and its relation to heart rate.
• Overview of lab methods and wearable tech for estimating VO2 Max.
• Techniques to improve VO2 Max: high-intensity interval training (HIIT), endurance training, diet, and nutrition.
• Discussion on VO2 Max's limitations as a performance measure, including the role of lactate threshold and exercise economy.
• Expert insights on practical application of VO2 Max in training.
• Episode wrap-up and teaser for the next episode.

Cold exposure, including ice baths has been getting a bad rep in the last 2 weeks due to misleading studies cited by many “performance experts” These studies are lacking evidence due to - in part- small sample sizes: studies often include a limited number of participants, making it difficult to generalize the results and gender bias: Some studies have only included participants of one gender, which may not provide a comprehensive understanding of potential benefits.

Joining me today to discuss this is mike Mutzel. Mike is wildly popular in the health, fitness and nutrition space garnering tens of millions of views on his YouTube channel which is actually where I first found out about mike. I am blessed to have him on todays episode because Mike is one of those guys who not only educates but he lives and breathes scientific education.

Max Lugavere is a science journalist and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people feel better, live longer, and maximize their brain health by optimizing their diet.

On this episode, Max will speak about nutrition and dementia. With so many conflicting views on which nutrition route to take towards staving off Alzheimer's disease, there is too much confusion so Max provides a great overview of what route to take according to clinical data.

Alzheimer's disease, one of the most dreaded conditions of old age, is unfortunately made even more of a burden by a gene called ApoE4. With two copies of this gene, you can double your risk of developing this devastating condition, proving that life isn't always fair. Even if you don't have the gene, aging still increases your chances, making it seem like no matter what you do, Alzheimer's will still creep up on you. But don't lose hope - animal studies have found that heat shock proteins can at least offer some protection against it. So, while Alzheimer's may be looming in your future, there may still be some hope.
