Max heart rate of 140. Lower intensity do it fasted. Fat will be burned Measure heart rate, measure polar heart rate straps Run it to your watch, and pull from the heart rate straps Rower - can pair it to equipment Machine sensors built in to equipment not so good   Examples of Lower Intensity Exercise 18:40 Highest amount of work while still using oxygen to burn fuel Rowing, cross country skiing, biking, running, versa climber Starting 10 minutes, 20 minutes medium, 30,40,50 minutes if more experienced Using a rower, doing 5K couple of times a week Plus lower intensity work does not spike hunger   Higher Intensity Exercises 21:20 Strength training, heart rate may or may not go up Intervals: Bike, rower, sprinting if only sprint mechanics are good All out for 10 seconds 20 or 30 second intervals with rower, then complete rest to bring heart rate down Complete same work to 90% of work, over time to do Over time get up to 10 intervals with a minute rest Can u improve with 45 seconds of rest, or even less with the same output   How to get the best Body Composition 24:00 Caloric deficit is important Same workout template One day a week do 19-24 hours of fast Easy way to cut out one day's worth of calories Muscle is preserved even with the fast once per day 0.7 general recommendation grams/pound of body weight   How much Protein How to Add 5-7 Pounts of Muscle 29:00 6 months to a year needed Fat 60-80 grams per day Keep pushing carbs high as high as possible Keep pushing training volume in 4-7 week cycles Volume is weightx#setsx#reps. How much work in gym. Rate and outcome is highly variable Need to be in caloric surplus 3 main forms of progressive overload is volume, density = volume/time, load Follow same protocol to gain muscle Fasted workouts still Gaining threshold may be 1:1, or 1:2 and 1:3 Can add fasting if want to limit the fat gain Carb timing and what kind of carbs Baseline levels of muscle glycogen dictates performance, can take more simple form of carb for training Most people perform better with better carbs beforehand Timing of protein: have some protein and carbs before and after training (before and after 1-2 hours).

Oxidative stress from Free Radicals 3. Excess Glucose or Glycation 4. Stress   This episode is a what is called a solosode, in which you get to hang out with yours truly.

On this episode of Anti-Aging Hacks, we discuss all about Red and Near Infrared light: How does Red and Infrared light provide more energy to our cells and body The benefits of Red Light in reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone How deeper penetration of light improves muscle definition, reduces workout recovery time, and other deeper conditions How Red Light can improve sperm motility and fertility in both sexes Recommendations on how often and when to use Red and Infrared Light for benefits My guest Eric James is the Founder & CEO of Red Therapy Company. He was originally a programmer and neural network expert but being in front of the computer so many hours took its toll on his body. Through his own health challenges and those of his family members, he became passionate about health, and wellness. This lead him to become an expert in light therapies and study the effects of different types of light on the skin, mind, mood, and body as well as how people are using RED / NIR light therapies for overcoming health challenges.

In this fascinating episode of the anti-aging hacks podcast, we discuss: 1. Can we reverse aging in 5 years 2. How to stay young for a long time 3. How Telomeres work and how to test your age using Telomeres My guest on this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews is the Founder and CEO of Sierra Sciences, a company focused on finding ways to extend human lifespan and health span through telomere maintenance. Telomeres are found at the tips of our chromosomes and have been shown, in thousands of scientific peer-reviewed studies, to be the clock of aging in humans. When telomeres get shorter, we get older, and our health declines. Bill has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show and numerous documentaries on the topic of life extension including, most recently, the movie The Immortalists in which he co-stars with Dr. Aubrey de Grey.  This is an absolutely fascinating interview where we discuss all about the aging clock in our cells, which is determined by our Telomeres. We talk about the enzyme Telomerase that grown Telomeres longer. We talk about Bill's anti-aging protocol, and the research he is doing to extend the human lifespan and allow us to age backwards. Must listen episode!

On today’s podcast, we dive into a powerful and relatively unknown healing modality - Hypnosis. We discuss: The functions of the conscious and subconscious brain How hypnosis works to change your beliefs  How hypnosis can be used to cure people of chronic and short term stress. My guest today is Sherly Sulaiman, who is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, NLP (Neuro–Linguistic Programming) master practitioner, mindfulness coach and meditation teacher. She has twenty years of experience in the health and well-being industry. She founded The Depression Relief Clinic and Inner City Hypnosis in Sydney, Australia as well as New Stress Relief, her private practice in Santa Monica, California.  Sherly uses a combination of Hypnosis and NLP to help people beat chronic stress. We have not talked about hypnosis or NLP on the show before, and I believe these are powerful healing modalities that can directly beneficially bring about positive changes to our thoughts and beliefs. As we know, beliefs are the foundational elements in how we view the world. Changing our beliefs can have huge changes in how we ascrive meaning to events in our life, and therefore the quality of our life.
