Episode description

In this episode I discuss how exercise is your number one biohack to help you turn back the clock. There's been a heap of research on how exercise is beneficial to your health, but we now also understand that it helps slow down ageing and keeps you young for longer.

I cover:

  1. What is ageing
  2. Why exercise keeps you young longer
  3. What types of exercise you should be doing and for how long
  4. How exercise helps at a cellular level
  5. How to break those barriers that are preventing you from exercising
