    Move Daily Health Podcast S3E8: Stuart Phillips, PhD, on Long-term Health

    It is with great pleasure that we welcome Stuart Phillips, PhD, back to the podcast! He last joined us to discuss protein intake and aging but today's podcast takes a look at the many other facets of his labs' ongoing research in long-term health, the menstrual cycle, and more. We take a deeper dive into what it means to focus on Health Span vs longevity, the need for movement in light of increased use of weight loss drugs, and the need to retain strength and power with aging.

    Move Daily Health Podcast S3E7: How to Hone (not hack) your Health

    Move Daily Health Podcast S3E7: How to Hone (not hack) your Health

Tune in as we discuss the small things you can do to hone, not hack, your health.

    In this episode we discuss the guidelines around resistance and aerobic training from government bodies and the dramatically different recommendations from strength and endurance industries. We touch on the need for individualized interpretations of both strength and aerobic exercise recommendations, how to interject variability, and that a change in approach can be excellent for recovery and injury or burnout prevention.
