Body composition and athletic performance are inseparably intertwined topics. Body composition is good for health, self-esteem and performance. Athletic performance is good for health (body is built to move), longevity (3 factors) and body composition (burning calories vs. consuming calories vs. desired body comp change) vs. stimulus for change (calorie deficit for fat loss until the body adapts AND resistance training for muscle / strength and/or endurance training for mitochondria biogenesis)

Am I living my best life or am I merely passing time…just sustaining my least tolerable life….neither failing nor succeeding in building a life of meaning. I want to know how can I live a big life instead of merely a long one?
To answer this question, Today I am joined by Adrian Kelly, the author of The Success Complex in which he explains the nuanced nature of success in life…the path to having a meaningful life in which we can look back with satisfaction in a life well lived, the feeling of having had a full life rather than one that seemed too short, with too many regrets for things not done ….Adrian points out that true fulfillment arises not merely from achievements or the ownership of things or even the level of cumulative pleasure vs. suffering over time….. but from aligning one’s actions with a deeper sense of purpose. Kelly presents a framework to help individuals navigate their unique paths to meaningful success. And it all starts today and is built one day at a time.
Carpe Diem.
Mitochondrial health is all the rage right now, and frankly I’m a big believer. I’m doing everything I can to improve my mitochondrial health…including taking two of darlings of the internet: methylene blue and urolithin A. As you’ll know from past episodes I’ve had great success with methylene blue despite how crazy taking a synthetic dye into my body regularly sounds to me. More recently, and against all the advice I’ve received from guests on the show, I started taking urolithin A as an experiment…just to see if I could get any benefit…and 2 months in I cannot say it’s been a success. Dang.
The good news is I have the Healthspan guys, Rich and Brandon back for part 2, to explain the Healthspan thinking on these two chemicals they provide to their clients. They walk through lall the whys and hows of the safety and benefits to be had. This was a great chat
Using my personal blood test data, we get into how healthspan helps their clients to assess health status and plot an improvement trajectory that leads with lifestyle improvements and augmented with on & off-label pharmaceuticals to help us become functionally younger, and possibly dramatically extend our healthspan and time in life as an strong athlete

Matt says, “Older athletes come to me having made all kinds of concessions to age in their training based merely on the expectation that they can’t do what they used to and without any real proof that they can’t. And according to science, these expectations are often wrong.”

The Paleo Diet burst onto the scene twenty years ago….it had a natural appeal but had the problem of determining what exactly did our ancestors eat and can we still get it. The arguments continue to this day. Of course, any good idea gets its share of fast followers… A bunch of variations of “ancestral” diets have emerged since then to muddy the waters even more. The real Paleo Diet isn’t about meat heavy or protein heavy macronutrient splits…or prohibitions against eating anything in moderation…it’s really a very simple prescription for creating a starting place for each of us to determine our own personal diet that works for our individual physiology and goals.
