Show notes
I am excited to have Siim Land on the show with me for the third time today.
Siim is a bestselling author, anthropologist, keynote speaker, and longevity enthusiast who is exceptionally bright and knows how to simplify complex research into actionable insights.
In our discussion today, we explore his latest book, The Longevity Leap, and dive into mTOR, how to activate and decrease it, and the physical consequences of an mTOR imbalance. We look into NAD, supplementation, frailty, and the critical role of exercise, discussing VO2 Max, heart rate variability, and the advantages of saunas and cold therapy. We also share strategies for optimizing sleep, cover how sleep impacts aging, and discuss biomarkers for longevity, why normal is not always optimal, melatonin, and the effects of shift work and jet lag.
I am confident you will find this conversation with Siim Land as enlightening as I did.
