Welcome to Longevity Builder In 2009 at almost 45 years of age my wife and I were blessed with our only child. Twenty years before he was born his Grandfather (my Father) passed away from a massive and sudden heart attack - he was just 46 years old. I had just completed my degree in health, physical education and sports science. The year that our son was born I began to become obsessed with helping him and his generation drive down their clinical complications from Catastrophic Cardiovascular Events, Diabetes and Metabolic Disease. In 2026 I turn 60 years old. Come on my Longevity journey.

    he Longevity Builder Health Lab Software — Why It Had To Exist

    Visit ⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab. The Longevity Builder Health Lab Software — Why It Had To Exist Subtitle: From Barry Irvin’s Diagnosis to Duncan Armstrong’s Heart Attack—The Story Behind the World’s First Unified Longevity Operating System. In this flagship bonus episode, Shane Stubbs pulls back the curtain on the "why" behind the Longevity Builder Health Lab. This isn't just about another health app; it’s about a radical shift from fragmented health data to a unified, life-saving system. Shane shares two deeply personal encounters with Australian icons—Bega Cheese Chairman Barry Irvin and Olympic Gold Medalist Duncan Armstrong—that revealed a terrifying truth: even the most successful and "fit" among us are often flying blind when it comes to clinical risk. Shane breaks down his own biomarker transformation, his journey to a 52 ml/kg/min VO₂ Max, and why he spent years building the blueprint that these men didn't have before their catastrophic health events. The "Four Days" That Changed Everything: The chilling conversation with Barry Irvin following his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and the realization that high-level success does not equal high-level health literacy. The Myth of the "Fit" Athlete: Why Olympic champion Duncan Armstrong suffered a heart attack at 52 despite his elite background, and his honest admission about understanding clinical risk. The "Thousand Islands" Problem: Why having 15 different apps for sleep, steps, and biomarkers is failing us. Shane explains how fragmentation hides the true picture of your health. Shane’s Personal Lab Results: A transparent look at Shane’s transformation: Weight: 124 kg ➡️ Transformed. VO₂ Max: 33 ml/kg/min ➡️ 52 ml/kg/min (targeting 60 by age 60). Triglycerides: 1.0 ➡️ 0.7. LDL: 3.4 ➡️ 1.7 (and improving). The Four Pillars of the Health Lab: Oxygen Efficiency App: Driving mitochondrial biogenesis and endothelial repair. Activity Quotient (AQ): Moving beyond steps to measure real molecular adaptation. Marginal Decade Blueprint: Mapping your training today to the physical independence you want at age 90. Biomarker Lab: Turning static PDF blood results into an interactive, educational roadmap. "Health is not a mystery. Longevity isn’t a guess. But the world treats it like one because we’ve handed people fragments instead of the full picture." — Shane Stubbs "Barry Irvin didn’t get a warning. He got four days that changed everything. Most people never see it coming. But you can." — Shane Stubbs Don't wait for your "four days." The Longevity Builder Health Lab was created to give you the clarity and the system that Barry and Duncan were missing.

    The Longevity Blueprint: Guests: Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari

    Visit ⁠⁠⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab This is the comprehensive set of show notes for your interview with Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari, combining the introduction, key takeaways, and conclusion into a single, cohesive package. Episode Title: The Longevity Blueprint: VO2 Max, HIIT, and the Science of Biological Protection Guests: Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari Research Affiliation: Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG), NTNU, Norway Theme: Translating exercise science into a powerful, personalized strategy for longevity and disease prevention. In this groundbreaking episode, we sit down with two of the most cited and influential researchers in the world of exercise physiology and medicine: Professor Ulrik Wisløff and Dr. Atefe Tari. Professor Wisløff (ranked among the world's most cited exercise scientists and inventor of the PAI metric) and Dr. Tari (leading researcher on the brain-protective effects of exercise plasma) reveal the overwhelming evidence that one single number—your Maximal Oxygen Intake (VO2 Max)—is the strongest predictor of how long and how well you will live. We dive into the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon, explore why steps and calories are not enough, and uncover the precise intensity needed to trigger cellular and arterial repair, offering a data-backed blueprint for listeners to truly build longevity in their own lives. Role: Professor of Exercise Physiology & Head of the Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Standing: Among the four most cited scientists worldwide in the field of exercise. Key Contributions: Pioneer of the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol for heart patients; provided the first causative evidence linking low fitness to increased heart disease risk; Inventor of the Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI) health metric. Role: Postdoctoral Researcher at NTNU/CERG and collaborator with the Queensland Brain Institute. Key Contributions: Head of the ExPlas study, investigating the effect of exercise-trained blood plasma on cognitive function; her research focuses on how fitness protects against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. The Single Best Predictor: A high VO2 Max (Maximal Oxygen Intake) is the strongest biological marker for longevity and lifespan, surpassing all other blood markers, weight, or daily step counts. A Whole-Body Reflection: VO2 Max is a reflection of the whole body’s capacity: lung function, heart pump efficiency, blood vessel transport, and the ability of mitochondria (the cell's power plants) to use oxygen for work. Mitochondrial Mastery: VO2 Max directly measures the combination of all mitochondria in the body, reflecting their function and efficiency. Earning 100 PAI points seems to trigger improvements in mitochondria, blood viscosity, and endothelial tissue. HIIT Defined: High-intensity training is defined as working at a threshold of 30 beats per minute below your maximum heart rate—the intensity level where you can speak to someone but you cannot sing. The Dose: Higher intensity exercise needs to be done every second day because the cellular and molecular benefits are short-lived, lasting only about two days. Personalized Activity Intelligence (PAI): This metric is a compass for longevity. There is a linear association between PAI score and VO2 Max—chasing PAI points ensures you are getting the required intensity and duration for physiological adaptation.

    Longevity Builder Series: The Altitude Accelerator: The Hidden Science of How Hypoxic Training Rebuilds Your Body from the Inside Out

    Visit ⁠https://longevitybuilders.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠to discover the book and The Longevity Builder Health Lab. Key Concepts The Workshop Analogy: Knowledge requires tools. The Longevity Builder Health Lab is introduced as a digital "workshop" for health, inspired by his son's physical woodworking workshop. VO2 Max & Hazard Ratio: A low VO2 Max (your body’s oxygen efficiency score) has a Hazard Ratio of 5.0—a 400% increased risk of premature death, making it the most powerful predictor of longevity. Hypoxic Training: This involves exercising in a low-oxygen environment that mimics high altitude, forcing your body to adapt and improve its oxygen efficiency. Shane uses analogies to simplify the benefits: Cardiovascular Overhaul: Your heart's main pumping chamber gets bigger, increasing its capacity (stroke volume). This lowers your resting heart rate. (Analogy: A standard car engine is swapped for a powerful V8.) Blood flow improves, stimulating Nitric Oxide production, which widens arteries and lowers blood pressure. (Analogy: A city planner widening roads.) HDL cholesterol increases, acting like a cleanup crew that removes plaque. (Analogy: An elite hazmat crew cleaning a toxic spill.) Metabolic Upgrade: Exercise creates an insulin-independent pathway for cells to absorb glucose, combating insulin resistance. (Analogy: A high-security building with a secret VIP back door for fuel deliveries.) Cellular Enhancements: Hypoxic training builds new, more efficient mitochondria (cellular power plants) and recycles old ones. (Analogy: A city upgrading its power grid.) It also increases red blood cells, enhancing oxygen transport. (Analogy: A logistics company upgrading its fleet of vans to semi-trucks.) Brain Health: The process releases BDNF ("Miracle-Gro for the brain"), which supports neuron growth and connections. It also improves deep, restorative sleep, during which the brain flushes out toxins. (Analogy: A library's A-Team and an elite overnight restoration crew.) Shane ends with a powerful personal story about his father, who died at 46 from a preventable heart attack, and emphasizes the importance of a personal "why" for building longevity. He encourages listeners to find an altitude exercise class and visit longevitybuilders.com for a free tracking tool. The Science Behind the UpgradeThe Final Message
