Can 8 Minutes Really Transform Your Fitness, Metabolism, and Longevity?
We’ve been told we need hours of cardio each week to stay fit but what if the science says otherwise?
In this episode, Ulrich Dempfl, co-founder and CEO of CAROL Bike, reveals how AI-powered workouts and REHIT (Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Training) are revolutionizing exercise by delivering maximum fitness results in minimum time.
This isn’t another quick-fix fitness fad. It’s a data-driven, scientifically validated method backed by research from top universities — and it’s transforming how busy, high-performing people train, burn fat, and extend their healthspan.
Ulrich Dempfl is a health tech innovator and the co-creator of the CAROL Bike, an AI exercise bike proven to dramatically improve VO₂ max, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health all in under 9 minutes a day.
Together, we discuss:
◼️ The science behind REHIT — and how it differs from traditional HIIT
◼️ Why just two 20-second sprints can trigger profound metabolic changes
◼️ How CAROL Bike uses AI to personalize resistance and optimize results
◼️ The link between short, intense workouts and longevity biomarkers
◼️ How to reprogram your metabolism for fat loss and cardiovascular health
◼️ The future of smart, efficient fitness in an AI-driven world
This is a conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about exercise, endurance, and time.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
