Balancing Peak Performance With Longevity, Part 2 (Breather Episode with Brad)

The B.rad Podcast

In part two, I share some practical and actionable tips that we can all apply to our lives as we strive to find that sweet spot between pursuing peak performance goals and making informed decisions with longevity in mind.

We’ll be talking about how to take a big picture approach to health, why you can’t get fat eating a clean diet, when your body actually needs you to increase your protein intake, and what happens to your ability to synthesize protein as you age. We also talk about the link between your ability to tan and your vitamin D levels, why age is not an excuse for sitting back and being just a spectator in your life, and why maintaining muscle mass helps maintain healthy organ function.

Listen to part 1 of this two-part show here.
