Episode notes

Lactate, which is often being considered as a toxic byproduct from what I'm hearing from you. And I've seen elsewhere actually can have important effects on our immune function. At least in exercise, we can do those single leg studies. Imagine that we could split your body in half and one half gets one dad and the other half gets it like that. That's where you get something true.

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.

Over the past month, The Proof has increasingly explored the role of exercise in relation to long-term health outcomes. In today’s episode, we build on previous conversations with an overarching goal: to consolidate our learning so far, giving you practical and tangible information to implement into your own lifestyle. Paul Taylor offers his advice on how to better your personal exercise routine through realistic recommendations, setting you up for a long health span.
