Episode notes

Paul: I think it's thinking about, stop thinking about exercise as what you look like. You need to think about exercise as a fundamental to your biology. Think about how you feel after you've exercised compared to days when you don't exercise,. That's the way that we need to start thinking about this stuff.

In Episode #229, I’m joined by Paul Taylor to discuss how to exercise to live better for longer. We cover the importance of intermittent stressors, the relative impact of nutrition and exercise, and the significance of biological evolution in health. Paul also breaks down exactly how to build an exercise regimen, with considerations for age and gender.
