Brad's "Perform, Recover" Mantra Contrasting With Calorie Restriction And Extreme Biohacking

In this show, I share more thoughts on my new, recent longevity mantra: perform, recover, perform, recover.

These thoughts were inspired by an interaction I had with my friend Michael Kummer—host of The Primal Shift podcast—who recently wrote a newsletter article about the longevity practices of the increasingly prominent biohacker Bryan Johnson.

While I appreciate a lot of things that Bryan does in service to the health community by trying all these cutting-edge strategies and then reporting back on his results, I do have some thoughts on the tendency many people have these days to drift a little too far towards high-tech anti-aging methods—particularly when it comes to taking a flawed approach to a biohacking strategy.

Just look at Bryan Johnon’s decision to eat fewer calories based on the assumption that calorie restriction does indeed help with healthy aging….When it comes to biohacking, are some extreme methods too extreme? And could we be making some huge mistakes in the process? Find out in this episode!

TIMESTAMPS:

Calorie restriction studies have mostly been done on animals. How do they apply to humans? [00:45]

Many people are equating fasting, ketogenic diet and other, strategies and interventions with longevity. However, these are things that that promote a stress response. [05:41]

Ditch the nutrient deficient processed foods. [07:57]

Brad takes a look at Brian Johnson's longevity goal. [10:38]

A glucose spike is not inherently a bad thiing. Is there such thing as having insulin that's too low? [13:56]

Brad tries to limit stress in his life in many ways.  He has found that shortening his time in the cold plunge is more beneficial. [16:55]

Some people get so obsessed with their training, they get into orthorexia which is an unnatural and unhealthy fixation on doing things correctly. [18:55]

Brad discusses his new dietary patterns. [24:38]

Should you feel sore after a good workout? [27:40]

Eat more and move more is a longevity strategy. [29:59]

Perform, Recover, Perform, Recover is Brad's mantra. [32:40]
