What Does Good Look Like?

In our second episode with physical activity researcher Dr Paul Kelly, we’ll learn more about why self-reported data is sometimes better than using a digital tracker. And if you want to learn from a true expert in the field, Paul will also share his top tips of how he manages to stay physically active.

Our next guest is Dr Paul Kelly, a researcher and lecturer in physical activity for health at the University of Edinburgh. We’ve invited Paul to our show because we want to learn more about how to become more physically active, and to find out what he knows about what good looks like.

Continuing the conversation on biological age clocks with Professor Sara Hägg, we now turn to methods of measuring biological age that may be more useful for younger people, and lifestyle interventions to keep your biological age down. We also discuss how tracking your biological age over time is useful, and the impact of some medications on biological age.

How can you tell how well you age? Being able to measure biological age is important for understanding how you age, but how is it done? This is one of the questions we will discuss with Professor Sara Hägg, who recently published a study on 9 different biological age clocks, including functional measures, telomere length and epigenetic clocks. We’ll also discuss differences in how men and women age, and at what age you can expect to see a more accelerated decline in functionality.

Meet Prof. Carl-Johan Sundberg, a man of many hats! In this episode we'll cover topics such as walking GP sessions, corona virus outbreaks, gym classes led by psychiatric staff, and what you should have gotten your parents for Christmas. We’ll also get some interesting insights as to why the media coverage of the latest research often seem to be sending contradictory messages.

February 4th is World Cancer Day. In this episode we will discuss lifestyle interventions for people with cancer, and wether the same things that promote longevity could also have the potential to protect us from cancer. But first, Will shares his personal experience from being a caregiver.

Welcome to another deep dive, this time into blood sugar and what you can learn from measuring your blood sugar using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).  Will and Anna explain what CGMs are, and share their personal experiences from using them (including the effects of sushi and smoothies!).

This week we make a deep dive into the topic of fasting, and more specifically on two methods of 5-day fasting; water fasting and the fasting mimicking diet. Will completed a 5-day water fast earlier this year, and Anna tried a 5-day fasting mimicking diet a few weeks ago, so in this episode we share and compare our experiences.
