Do Less. Live Longer?

What does your Nan know that a man spending $2 million a year doesn't? More than you'd think. Grant and Gemma — two experienced PTs and online coaches — break down Brian Johnson's extreme biohacking experiment and what it actually teaches us about living longer. Spoiler: the most tested man in the world came back to basics. Sleep. Walking. Whole foods. Stress management. The stuff we've been telling clients for years. Whether you're deep into biohacking or just trying to feel better day to day — this one's for you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ The Perform Podcast — real conversations about performance and wellness.
