This conversation with Stanford’s Professor Michael Snyder breaks down one of the most important exercise studies ever published — a deep, molecular look at what really happens inside your body when you work out.

We explore how thousands of molecules shift in real time, why inflammation during exercise is actually a good thing, how omega-3 signaling, mitochondrial remodeling, nitric oxide pathways, and metabolic flexibility all come together in a coordinated “molecular choreography,” and why your insulin sensitivity can completely change how your body responds to the same workout.

We also discuss VO₂ max, the difference between sprinting and steady-state cardio, how to think about recovery, and why exercise affects every organ in your body, from muscles to brain. If you want a deeper understanding of the biology behind fitness — and why personalized exercise matters — this interview is a must-watch. Stay Curious.
