from The Detached podcast Hosted by Sophia Delavari
Send us Fan Mail Ever feel buried under longevity headlines that promise everything and deliver little? We invited author and anthropologist Siim Land to unpack what actually extends healthspan and what just drains your wallet. From a military start and early bodybuilding to a decade of research and content creation, Siim brings a calm, data-led voice that favors flexible routines over fragile perfection. We get specific about where to start: reduce visceral fat, then use targeted bloodwork to direct your effort. Siim outlines the biomarkers that matter most for risk—glucose and insulin sensitivity, inflammation, lipids and lipoproteins, liver and kidney health, and CBC—then explains why your tape measure might be the best first test. We probe weight loss drugs like GLP‑1s, balancing benefits against unknowns, and explore NAD strategies, iron and calcium pitfalls, and when delivery method (oral vs injection) truly changes outcomes. If you want a practical roadmap to live longer and feel better—without chasing every shiny pill—this is your field guide.
