Diet and lifestyle hacks for building muscle, improving health and living longer.
“Only 12 percent of Americans are considered metabolically healthy. In actual peak health, the percentage is probably 5 or 6%.” -Siim Land
We might be living longer, but those extra years aren’t spent in good health - we’re sicker than ever. Longevity is meant to be about quantity AND quality. So how do you get both?
Siim Land is a biohacker and bestselling author of eight books on health and longevity, including Stronger By Stress and Metabolic Authophagy.
If you want a complete rundown of the food, the exercise and the lifestyle changes you need to live longer and happier, Siim’s your man.
In this episode, he explores the impact of muscle strength, VO2 max and sprinting on ageing. He explains what metabolic autophagy is, why it’s considered the “new hallmark of ageing”, and what you can do to manipulate it. And he explores the hidden dangers of overtraining, why diet choices are more important than specific foods, and why sprinting is a superpower for longevity.
