WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS YOU LIVE LONGER?

Most of the advice that genuinely helps you live longer is free, simple, and a little boring. That is probably why so few people follow it.That idea sits at the heart of this episode. Host Dr Eliot Forster sits down with Dr James McIlroy – a qualified medical doctor, founder and CEO of the Aberdeen microbiome company EnteroBiotix, and host of the gut-health podcast Inside Matters.Together they separate the noise from that which is not just useful, but scientifically proven. They start with the fundamentals that almost everyone can act on – sleep, colourful minimally processed food, daily movement, resistance training, and the things worth avoiding, like alcohol. Then they move up the pyramid to the more experimental end: supplements, sauna, heat shock proteins, and what the data does and does not yet support.Whether you are a life sciences student, a curious listener, or someone simply trying to work out which health advice is worth your time, start here.CHAPTERS:05:27 Bryan Johnson, Blueprint and the pyramid of fundamentals.09:00 Diet.11:25 Fermented foods and the gut.12:33 Alcohol.16:30 Exercise.18:04 Resistance training.20:51 Exercise vs. diet.23:00 Supplements: what the evidence actually supports.24:40 Stem cells, peptides and GLP-1s.26:34 Sleep.28:17 What wrecks sleep.30:30 Sauna.33:27 The microbiome.Produced by Crisis What Crisis Productions With special thanks to Mintz – life sciences lawyers who help turn scientific breakthroughs into reality. https://www.mintz.com
