Episode notes
Low Education: Top Mortality Risk
- Low education is the number one all-cause mortality risk factor, outranking smoking and obesity.
- This likely reflects downstream effects like risky behaviors and limited access to resources, not intelligence.
Prioritize Strength Training
- Prioritize strength training over strict dieting initially, as it's more impactful on mortality.
- Encourage clients to exercise consistently, even if their diet isn't perfect, and address dietary issues later.
Diet vs. Exercise
- Diet is harder to change than exercise, yet it receives more attention than strength training.
- Weakness, however, is a stronger predictor of mortality than both poor diet and obesity.
