Mark Sisson: Why Walking Beats Running for Longevity

Mark Sisson: Why Walking Beats Running for Longevity

What’s better for longevity—running or walking?It’s a bit of a trick question.But if there is one answer, it’s definitely walking.If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer fests and slog through long runs.In fact, when you combine daily walks with the habit of sprinting just about once a week, magic starts to happen.

Do you feel a constant pressure to optimize every aspect of your life? What if hyper-optimization protocols actually do more harm than good? The glorification of hustle culture has given many of us the nagging feeling that no matter how much we do or accomplish, it's never quite enough. Living in a cloud of frantic, urgent, reactive energy can even cause us to lose sight of who we are and why we’re working so hard. If you want to reclaim your time, energ

Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse?With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality.That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformati

Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually

Is your work aligned with your true calling in life? Or are you being paid to overlook your overwhelming disinterest in the work? Is your work-life driven by an illusion where the trivial is disguised as important? Tragically, this week’s guest admits, “I spent 10 years doing an enormous amount of work but feeling as if I created nothing of substance.” Most of us know the feeling, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In other words, work doesn’t have to suck. Today, I'm thrilled to have my good f

What does the concept of longevity mean to you? Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar? Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains? Afterall, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their t

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it? We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition. But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way. By helping you work throug

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer? Or that you’ll save the world if you only give up hamburgers forever?  Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades, rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.   In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow strict plant-based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease?  When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the envir

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem? No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?  This is totally normal.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.  We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness i

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens? Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity. Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder.

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused?  Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks.  Despite that fact, doctors learn that there is.  So why does the American Heart Association lie to doctors and the public about the true cause of heart disease?  All the way back in the 1950’s, Ancel Keys manipulated and falsified data to blame butter, red meat, and saturated fats for heart diseas

What do you think of censorship? It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn. We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard?And who exactly decides what's true and what's not? After I was censor

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore? At first, inflation feels good for some of us. Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price, the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway growing older somehow appear to become more valuable. But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store, pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy and all the othe

Dr. Casey Means: Solving for the Root Cause of the Metabolic Health Crisis

Have you ever ignored your doctor's advice? Most doctors enter the medical field with noble intentions, but are unaware of the systemic corruption and profit driven nature of the industry. The hard economic truth is that nearly every institution that impacts your health makes more money by managing chronic disease than by curing patients. The pharmaceutical industry has influenced medical research and treatment, leading to a focus on recurring revenue through chronic medication an

Gary Taubes: Unintended Consequences of Weight Loss “Wonder” Drugs

Did you know that doctors were treating diabetic patients with high-fat low-carb diets all the way back in the 1700s? Though high-fat ketogenic diets were found to effectively treat diabetes for over a century, they were largely abandoned due to the rapid adoption of insulin in the 1920s, which was considered then to be a miracle cure. Prioritizing drugs over lifestyle with insulin therapy, however, led to unexpected long term complications in patients, including damage to large and sm

Dr. Sarah Ballantyne: Dietary Diversity & How To Make Vegetables Taste Great

Do you buy the carnivore theory that plants are trying to kill us and we should avoid eating all plant matter? What about the vegetarian argument that we should never ever eat meat? If you take anything away from this show, make it this: always take extremism, hysteria and dogmatism with a grain of salt. As the blogosphere and personalized RSS feeds have been replaced by superficial social media channels in an algorithmic race to the bottom, the modern internet, it seems, is rapidly devolving in

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack?  When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own.  And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart.

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics?

When was the last time you felt anxious, depressed or stressed out? If you're thinking “Right now! This moment. Today, yesterday, most days,” you're definitely not alone.  It happens to everyone. You get stressed, you start breathing wrong, and the day gets away from you. Most of us would agree that we've never seen people, especially in the western world, more sick and stressed out than right now.

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home? Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department. But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing somethi

I'm sure draconian government interventions that outlawed group exercise, shuttered gyms and small businesses and all of that, certainly didn't help matters or our trajectory overall.

Nora Gedgaudas: Primal Fat Burner, Pottenger’s Cats & How To Age Gracefully

Are you sick of dietary propaganda? Me too. This week's guest has been wiping the floor with ridiculous, government-mandated, top-down nutrition recommendations for decades now.

Eliza Kingsford: How to Dodge Cravings and Protect Your Mental Health

Are you sick of being stuck inside? You're in good company.

Darryl Edwards: Animal Moves, Surviving Terror & How To Not Get Steamrolled by Life

Even before the world shut down, 80% of kids don’t get enough exercise. What do you think these numbers look like for grown-ups? Terrifying. Somehow we find ourselves in a world where we need to fight for our right to recess. Even if we're adults. No matter what country we're in. I can't think of a better person to remind us how important it is to go outside and play than our friend Darryl Edwards.

So how are you doing out there? Pretty rough, right? You feeling a little stressed? I know I am. But it's important to know, especially during times like these, that at our best we can use this stress and put it to good use instead of letting it completely destroy us. And a long-range of studies, unfortunately, have shown that chronic stress caused by things like social isolation, long-term unemployment, untreated depression and more can actually shorten your DNA telomeres, which in turn can spe

Dr. Paul Saladino: The Carnivore Diet, Functional Medicine & Eating Raw Brains

Tried an elimination diet yet? You’ve likely heard a lot of buzz around the carnivore diet, it's come up a few times on this show. The way I think about elimination diets, is that you're fasting from certain food categories. When you give yourself a break, all of a sudden your immune system can calm down and do the exact work that it needs to do to keep you safe—instead of causing all sorts of problems for you or attacking your own body, in the case of auto-immune conditions. You don't want your

As a collective, are we getting smarter or dumber? Let’s be honest. Intelligence—the capacity for learning, logic, understanding, critical thinking, planning, self-awareness, problem solving, emotional knowledge, reasoning, creativity—is a whole brain-body phonomenon. And in order to harness your natural intelligence, it’s important to support your brain and body with the right foods, and turn down other inputs, like pollution and toxins that can drag us down.

Do sugar substitutes mess with your brain and taste buds? If you’ve ever messed with high-octane sweeteners like stevia or monkfruit, you know the sensation of hyper-intense sweetness on your tongue.

When was the last time you took a family road trip? Especially one that was just for fun? Unfortunately, the family road trip seems to be somewhat of a dying art. After living a life on the road, I can tell you that getting out of the city— away from all of that crazy brain zapping city energy that we're assaulted with, all the marketing and the billboards—and into the wilderness can be an amazing reset for your body, your mind, and your spirit.

Joining me on the show today is Niraj Naik, a former pharmacist who has a lot to say on the subject.

You've heard all about red light therapy, right? Maybe you've heard that near-infrared and red light therapy can help you with inflammation, collagen production, and skin health in general.

Bobby Maximus: How To Say “No” & The Benefits Of Self Imposed Limitations

Be honest, how often do you say “no” to things you don’t want to do?  We’re conditioned to sit in desks, be quiet, raise our hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom, and follow the rules.  Do what you’re told and never stray from the herd. Get a job, bite your tongue, pay your taxes and behave. But as the years chug along, saying “no” becomes a superpower.  Try it now, it feels good. “NO.” Joining us on the show is Bobby Maximus a former UFC fighter and Toronto police officer, who earned

Dr. Vera Tarman: Overcoming Food Addiction & How She Dropped 100 Pounds and Kept it Off

According to brain scans, refined sugar and artificially intense sweetness is more addictive than cocaine.  If that sounds crazy, consider this: In the early 1900’s, the Average American ate 5 pounds of sugar per year. Pretty reasonable, right?  By 2000, the Average American was eating 150 pounds of sugar per year. That’s 30 times more sugar!

Do you know how the media you’re consuming is affecting your brain and mood? When you’re around negative news, stressed colleagues, and minute-to-minute stock updates, even if you’re not consciously listening to it, your amygdala is on overdrive, and this can lead to subconscious fears, stress and anxiety. But with a dab of neuroscience, common sense and self-expression, we can rise above the craziness we seem to find ourselves in. And returning to the show to help us get this figured out is Dr.

It's a crazy high number and a lot of people are only somewhat familiar as to what carbon monoxide is and what effects it has on the human body. It's very much a different beast from carbon dioxide.
