276: Use AI to Change How You Age (part 1)

274: Fixing Your Health isn't the Same as Fixing Your Symptoms
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest mistakes we can make with our health: treating the leaves instead of looking at the roots. Symptoms, abnormal lab results, and health problems are often treated as problems to be fixed, but what if they’re actually clues pointing to something more meaningful? Let’s remind ourselves why a root-cause approach to health can change the way we thi

How to work with your perimenopausal hormones in a way that prevents or drastically delays the chronic diseases of aging shouldn’t be a hidden secret or controversial or confusing or seen as a matter of opinion or only available to people with the finances to self pay for services not covered by insurance. But for now it is.So, what’s the deal? Why don’t medical providers agree about the value o
271: The Muscle Building Rules Change After 40
One of the biggest drivers of the long, slow rot model of aging is the loss of muscle mass that accompanies aging. There are forces at play that drive that age-related muscle loss. But once you know about them, you can take countermeasures to overcome them and persist into old age with more autonomy and possibilities than people who don’t deliberately age with anabolic resistance in mind.

If you want a healthy future into old age, you need a healthy liver. Fortunately, it’s extremely robust and pretty low maintenance, considering how much crazy complicated stuff it does.

Do driven, high achieving people ever have days when they just don’t have any motivation? I think yes. I think they’d tell us they experience the same feelings and motivational deserts as the rest of us. The only difference is in how they reflexively act when they have no motivation.

Good overall health for women requires good vaginal health. Good vaginal health requires your lube to be made of high quality ingredients.
