ANECDOTE

Personal Cardiovascular Diagnosis

Joel discovered significant cardiovascular disease despite good labs and an active lifestyle.
That diagnosis prompted him to shift toward longevity work and share lessons for prevention.

INSIGHT

Shift Training Priorities With Age

As you age you must prioritize recovery, lower training volume, and shift training focus.
Build maximal cardiovascular fitness while maintaining 2–3 strength sessions for bone and metabolic health.

ADVICE

Limit Frequent Maximal Lifting

Limit heavy, frequent maximal lifting as you age and consider 2–3 moderate strength sessions weekly.
Monitor volume because excessive lifelong heavy lifting may raise cardiovascular risk for some individuals.

Joel Jamieson is not only a great friend, but someone that has really started to make a mark in the longevity space. He was recently featured on Dr. Peter Attia’s podcast where they took a deep dive into everything HRV.

But you may know him as a trusted expert in strength, conditioning, and energy systems for combat sports.

His book, Ultimate MMA Conditioning, is one of the best S&C reads of all time, and he’s spent the past 20 years coaching world champion athletes.

He’s also consulted extensively for teams and organizations including the Navy SEALS, UFC champions, and professional sports teams from the NFL, NBA, MLS, and NCAA.

And in this episode, we’re going to dive into a ton of health-related topics to help YOU live a longer, healthier life!

Lifting weights serves a very important purpose, but it is not building cardiovascular fitness.
