Episode Summary: The Map to Your Healthiest Decade

At 23, Shane lost his father to a sudden heart attack at just 46. That tragedy became the lifelong catalyst for his mission. Now, on the week he turns 60, former PE teacher and renowned health expert Shane is releasing his new book, Longevity Builder—a blueprint to not just live longer, but to win your marginal decade (your 80s and 90s).

Shane shares his personal wake-up call, going from 124kg and a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome to radically reversing his biological age and achieving higher Oxygen Efficiency (VO₂ Max) than many of his teenage students.

This is the conversation that moves beyond steps, diets, and fads—it's a deep dive into the science of building a body that resists the chronic diseases that take almost all of us out.

• The Rewiring Moment: How the sudden death of his father at 46 fuelled a 40-year search for a new type of health education.

• The Flaw in Health Education: Why schools teach kids how to throw a discus but not how to build the biological protection required to thrive in their 80s and 90s.

• Shane's Wake-Up Call: The dangerous path of high weight (124kg) and metabolic syndrome, and the realization he was heading toward the same fate as his father.

• The Master Lever of Longevity: Oxygen Efficiency (VO₂ Max): Learn why VO₂ Max is the single strongest predictor of health and lifespan, far surpassing steps, calories, or weight.

• The Four Pillars of the Longevity Builder Blueprint:

  1. Oxygen Efficiency (VO₂ Max): The science of mitochondrial biogenesis and vascular ageing reversal, explained simply.

  2. Activity Quotient (AQ): The world’s first accurate daily health score that tracks your weekly physiological adaptation (not just minutes or steps).

  3. The Marginal Decade Blueprint: A framework to intentionally design the physical capabilities (Mountain Top Moments) you want to maintain in your 80s and 90s.

  4. Biomarker Mastery: How to read your own blood panel (LDL, triglycerides, insulin, inflammation) like a pro to build a body that resists disease.

• The 60 for 60 Challenge: Shane’s goal to compete in a VO₂ Max test against 60% of his Year 10 PE students in April 2026 to show the world what is possible at age 60.
