Episode notes
Prioritize Resistance Training
- Keep doing resistance training to preserve muscle mass and function as you age.
- Muscle mass—not total weight—most strongly predicts healthy aging, so lift as long as you can.
Follow Three Simple Diet Targets
- Target 16% of daily energy from protein, aim for 30g fiber, and keep added sugars under 5% of energy.
- Apply these three numbers across any diet style for sustainable weight control.
Match Fasting Type To Goal
- Use different fasting protocols for different goals: intermittent (12–16h) for weight, 17–72h for autophagy, 24h for gut reset.
- A 36-hour fast can reboot metabolism and preferentially reduce belly fat.
