When you search online for ways to live a healthy life, you're bombarded by charismatic speakers, some with medical degrees or PhDs, promising miracle cures. From cancer treatments to fat-burning morning rituals and an endless array of supplements claiming to unlock the fountain of youth, the noise is overwhelming.

Some of these claims contain a grain of truth; others are pure fiction. But in nearly every case, they distract from what truly matters—focusing on minor details that won’t meaningfully impact your health tomorrow, next year, or even a decade from now.
The fundamentals of health, fitness, and longevity may not be flashy, but they are essential. In this week’s podcast, we hear from a PhD researcher and educator whose work focuses on healthspan and longevity.

Listen and learn:

Why the science community often lacks the communication and marketing skills for their ideas
How quickly simply-sounding health data can be misinterpreted
The real risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and what to do about it
Why your health in later life is often the compounding of small behaviors over years or decades
