#115 | Winning Athletic Longevity | Dr Rick Cohen & Daniel Tawfik of Healthspan

A healthy athlete is a strong athlete, and athletic longevity requires a long life. To achieve our athletic longevity goals, almost all of us resort to the optimistic usage of pills and powders. One of the major bummers for the older athlete, is that no one knows how to make people younger.  All we can do is slow down the rate of aging.  The healthier we are, the slower we age….meaning the more slowly we progress toward that visit to the pearly gates.  How can we balance risk and reward, prioritize which interventions to pursue first, how to tell is we are getting a positive or negative result from our interventions including pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. These are the questions answered by Daniel and Rick, who also share their thoughts about Rapamycin dosing, cycling interventions to restore beneficial cycles of growth and autophagy, and how Healthspan is delivering a platform to help clients to set proper goals and stay on course over time including taking corrective action when interventions (type and dose) don't deliver results.
