In this episode, Greg interviews Bryan as he shares his journey through various fitness modalities, from basketball to bodybuilding, and eventually to a focus on longevity and cardio. He discusses the evolution of his training philosophy, the impact of movement on daily life, and the balance between optimizing health and enjoying life. The conversation also touches on the benefits of sauna and cold plunge, as well as the importance of consistency in fitness routines and how to create habits to facilitate that consistency.
Bryan discusses personal experiments with training and relationship with substances, and the importance of community and relationships in the pursuit of longevity. He also delves into the steroid debate, shares insights from a rapid-fire AMA session, and reflects confirmation bias in science. The discussion touches on the evolution of fitness needs as we age, the balance between authenticity and social interactions, and Bryan's current writing project focused on quality-of-life optimization.
