    Why the Nervous System Is a Vital Sign With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

    We track metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration — but what if we saw the nervous system as one of the biggest indicators of our health status? The nervous system influences how we perform, recover, handle stress, and function day to day. Yet many of us are operating in chronic fight-or-flight mode without realizing it.    In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, explains how stress, recovery, childhood experiences, and daily pressure shape how we feel, function, and perform. Together, these factors can shed light on an important truth: Even people who appear mentally and physically strong may be breaking down internally. When the nervous system is under strain, it affects not only how you feel each day, but also your long-term health and disease risk.    LaValle shares how to better understand the state of your nervous system, along with strategies to support nervous-system recovery and strengthen your response to stress.   This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/why-the-nervous-system-is-a-vital-sign-performance-longevity-series   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

    How You Can Help Your Brain Age Better With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

    Brain health isn't just a conversation for later in life: What you do early on and throughout your life can both help prevent cognitive decline and maintain your quality of life as you age. Think of your brain as the command center of your whole body: Signals start there, and it's constantly taking in information from everywhere else to shape what happens next. Protecting your brain matters, and — here's the empowering part — there's a lot within your control. Cognitive decline isn't a fixed path. Emerging science is fundamentally changing the way we understand brain health, making proactive brain care a real possibility.    In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, discusses the factors we know affect brain health, the well-established lifestyle practices shown to help protect the brain, and new and emerging ways to measure cognitive health and risk.   This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/how-you-can-help-your-brain-age-better-performance-longevity-series   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

    The Rise of Fatty Liver Disease With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

    Up to one-third of American adults may be dealing with a liver condition that's often "silent" until it becomes more serious. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (or MASLD, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD) is a chronic condition in which fat builds up in the liver. Because the liver is involved in about 500 bodily processes, MASLD's effects can extend across multiple organs and systems.   In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, explains why liver health matters and why fatty liver disease is on the rise. He also discusses the blood markers to monitor to understand your liver health and the lifestyle factors that can help protect, support, and heal the liver.   This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/the-rise-of-fatty-liver-disease-performance-longevity-series   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

    All About Metabolic Testing With Danny King, Master Trainer

    Too many of us guess our way through our workouts and eating habits. We jump into a new exercise routine or nutrition plan and simply hope for the best — or hope that what worked for someone else will work for us too.     But you don't have to leave your health up to chance. By understanding your body's unique metabolic blueprint, you can build fitness and nutrition strategies tailored to your specific needs.     In this episode, Danny King, Master Trainer, delves into the science behind two metabolic assessments available at Life Time to show you exactly how measuring your oxygen and fuel is key to having the information you need to stop guessing and to start working smarter, not harder.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/all-about-metabolic-testing   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

    Understanding Cholesterol With Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN (Performance & Longevity Series)

    For decades, the conversation around cholesterol has been oversimplified, leaving many people confused. While cholesterol plays essential roles in the body, problems can arise when levels get too high or the wrong types dominate. The story is far more nuanced and complex than simply "good" versus "bad."   In this episode, Jim LaValle, RPh, CCN, explains what advanced lipid profiles can reveal, what influences cholesterol levels, how cholesterol affects long-term health, and what you can do to support healthy levels.    This episode of Life Time Talks is part of our series on Performance and Longevity with MIORA.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/understanding-cholesterol-performance-longevity-series   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?
