The episode explains how pole dancers can get stronger using progressive overload, defined as gradually increasing training stress so the body adapts during rest and the same demands become easier over time. It outlines adaptation timelines: neurological and cardiovascular changes can occur quickly (sometimes within a session for neuro drills), noticeable strength gains typically appear after about 3–6 weeks, connective tissue (tendons/ligaments) adapts around the 3-month mark, and bone density changes occur closer to 6 months. Rosy emphasizes easing back into training—especially after a break or postpartum—avoiding self-punishment, and prioritizing rest because adaptation happens during recovery. It describes ways to increase load for pole and bodyweight training: increase training frequency while keeping at least 1–2 rest days per week, increase repetitions, use time-based conditioning like a “pole treadmill” (repeated climbs/descents for time), increase resistance via weights/bands or by selecting harder bodyweight progressions, and use isometrics by holding longer or increasing tension. It notes that muscle damage is not necessarily required for positive adaptation and references Felipe Damas' work (primarily in hypertrophy research), while clarifying the focus is strength training rather than bodybuilding. The episode also explains that the body responds to chronic life stress similarly to training stress, which can hinder strength gains, and encourages stress reduction and enjoyable movement.Citations:SELYE H.

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

A bold reimagining of life that bridges science, philosophy, cybernetics, and the complexities of biological existence The Organism Is a Theory: Giuseppe Longo on Biology, Mathematics, and AI (Giuseppe Longo and Adam Nocek, 2026) is an intriguing synthesis of decades of interdisciplinary research by eminent mathematician and biological scientist Giuseppe Longo. A unique collaboration between Longo and philosopher of technology Adam Nocek, the volume confronts foundational issues in the history of mathematics, computer science, physics, and theoretical biology. Challenging conventional approaches that apply computational and formalist models to the biological world, Longo reveals how the limitations of these models hinder the understanding of organismic complexity, development, and evolution. Through a critique of dominant scientific paradigms, he emphasizes the need for a new biological theory that accounts for the temporal and spatial intricacies of life. Enhanced by Nocek's comprehensive introduction and a fascinating three-part interview with Longo, The Organism Is a Theory offers a bold rethinking of the biosciences, integrating the work of Alan Turing, Bernhard Riemann, Henri Poincaré, Kurt Gödel, and others into Longo's vision of critical biology. Bridging scientific and philosophical discourses, this book creatively applies insights from mathematics, physics, and computing into the study of the organism to present a new theoretical approach to understanding biological complexity that resists reductive mechanistic and informatic explanations.

Professor Matthew Longo. Longo details the geopolitical backdrop of 1989, focusing on Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Németh. He explains Németh's clash with Romania's Ceaușescu and a pivotal, secret meeting with Gorbachev, where Németh received tacit approval to dismantle the Iron Curtain's physical border defenses. 1960S
Professor Matthew Longo. Longo shifts focus to "radical nobodies," specifically activists Ferenc and Maria, who conceived the Pan-European Picnic. He describes their audacious, naive plan to host a party at the lethal Iron Curtainborder near Sopron, intending to celebrate European togetherness and unwittingly sparking a major historical event. NOVEMBER 1961 BERLIN
Professor Matthew Longo. Longo describes the tension at the campsite where East German refugees, monitored by Stasi agents, gathered. He recounts the chaotic border breakthrough, highlighting the moral choice of Hungarian guards who allowed refugees to cross into Austria rather than shooting, marking a bloodless victory for freedom. 2016 GERMANY
Professor Matthew Longo. Reflecting on the site thirty years later, Longo discusses the philosophical implications of freedom using Isaiah Berlin and Hannah Arendt. He contrasts Western "negative liberty" with the solidarity desired by East Germans, noting how the former borderland has transformed into an unremarkable green belt. 1985 CZECH FRONTIER

Dr. Valter Longo is the Edna M. Jones Professor of Gerontology and Biological Sciences and Director of the Longevity Institute at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, a leading center for aging and disease research. Trained in biochemistry at the University of North Texas and UCLA, with postdoctoral work under longevity pioneers Roy Walford and Caleb Finch, Dr. Longo has built a multidisciplinary research career spanning genetics, immunology, endocrinology, and molecular biology. His laboratory has identified key genetic pathways that regulate aging and demonstrated how targeting these pathways can reduce disease risk and progression in both animal models and humans, including novel dietary and genetic strategies that protect healthy cells while making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment. Dr. Longo is widely known for developing the fasting mimicking diet, a five-day periodic dietary intervention shown in randomized clinical trials to reduce markers associated with aging and chronic disease, while promoting stem cell–based regeneration and longevity.

Mike sits down with Lawrence Longo, a serial food and hospitality entrepreneur whose journey from hidden menu curator to restaurant empire builder has reshaped how people connect through food. Lawrence shares how his early obsession with experience over ego led him from launching Off the Menu — a community built around secret dishes and insider dining — to reviving Irv's Burgers, expanding Prince St. Pizza nationwide, and building a hospitality group that's redefining what "premium fast food" really means. They dive into the lessons learned from scaling beloved brands without losing their soul, the role of storytelling and community in hospitality, and what travel and culture have taught Lawrence about simplicity, obsession, and belonging. This episode isn't just about food — it's about the universal language of connection, the places that shape us, and the people who keep showing up for what feels real.

The contents of this presentation do not constitute an endorsement of any product or indication by Astellas.In this part, Doctors Roberts and Longo will discuss treatment with gene therapies.Question: Can one administer AAV-mediated gene therapy repeatedly?Mark Roberts, MDI think the traditional view would have been no. One can think of gene therapy as a silver bullet. Hopefully, it will reach its target. But if it's not effective, that bullet has been shot, the immunological response has occurred, and it means redosing, at least with that particular vector, may become difficult. But this situation is changing and evolving as we have better understanding of immunological modulation for repeat testing. We were discussing this yesterday evening, weren't we, Professor Longo?Nicola Longo MD, PhDCorrect. Basically, the current AAV-based gene therapy cannot be readministered. It is either effective, or it doesn't work. The other thing is that even though in theory, one could utilize a different AAV vector with different immunogenicity, there is many times cross-reactivity among the different adenovirus, adeno-associated viruses. Now, there are approaches in animal models in which you give a strong immune suppression to prevent the creation of the immune response against the adeno-associated virus, and at least in the animal model, it has been possible to give some of the gene therapy repeatedly.The second approach that is being tested is with gene correction therapy, in which by using an RNA guide and the CRISPR/Cas9 system delivered by lipid nanoparticles, you basically correct some of the effective genetic information. Obviously, since this is done by lipid nanoparticles and not by an AAV, the immunity that you create is really not there. You can give this one repeatedly, and in theory, it can be given more than one time. But again, you are absolutely correct. The current gene therapy cannot be given twice, and either it works or it doesn't work.Question:vWill gene-therapy-treated patients be able to go back to the standard of care or enzyme replacement therapy?Mark Roberts, MDI think when we're talking to patients about the potential benefits of gene therapy and the amelioration of the requirement to have these infusions on a regular basis of ERT, the hope is that will work, but they need to be reassured that we can potentially go back to the ERT. Gene therapy is an important treatment, but we don't know the destination of the patient at the beginning, and we have to make it available to them to go back to ERT.One of the crucial questions, of course, though, is the basis of the immunological reaction that perhaps prevented the gene therapy being effective. If it's against the viral vector, well, okay. If it's against the transgene, not great. If it's against the functional protein, that becomes more difficult. It is somewhat, I think at this time, to be fair to say to patients, think of gene therapy as a trial treatment. It is somewhat a leap of faith and an important observation, of course, for the patient community, but just be aware there may be downsides.Nicola Longo MD, PhDThey totally agree with Dr. Roberts. In general, they should be able to go back to enzyme replacement therapy if the gene therapy is not effective. However, what we are starting to appreciate is that we need to understand the immune response, not just to the enzyme replacement therapy, but also to gene therapy. What this field is doing is forcing geneticists to deal with the immune response. I feel that historically has not been dealt together. The two things need to be integrated. The advantage of the gene therapy is that the protein is produced endogenously. There should be the development of some degree of tolerance with time in the body towards the endogenous continuous production of a protein.Now, will that happen all the time? I still do not know. Again, we need to understand much better what is the integration of the immune system with the response to gene therapy in the ongoing clinical trials.

The contents of this presentation do not constitute an endorsement of any product or indication by Astellas. In this part, Dr. Roberts will discuss immune responses and other safety concerns related to gene therapies.Mark Roberts, MDUndoubtedly, the immune system is a major issue in these patients. It would be fantastic if we could immunotolerize our patients and indeed prevent the rejection of the therapy. We've talked about the fact that these are viral vectors and of course there may be high seroprevalence of antibodies to these viral vectors, and it's very important in the pre-screening of patients who might be eligible to understand that at the beginning. These of course can have developed over the years and of course can be part of immunological memory and therefore extremely difficult and probably impractical to actually shift.On giving the treatment though as I think we're all aware there is this problem of the innate immunity and potential therefore for acute toxicities and then a learned or adaptive response with cytotoxic T cells and antibodies which may of course become high tighter neutralizing antibodies and potentially antibodies not only against the viral vector, even the functional protein, even the transgene are all theoretical possibilities with time. The capsid, the transgene, and even the protein product can all potentially induce an immunological event. Of course, all of these would lead to both potential patient changes and then a lack of efficacy of the treatment.Indeed, there have been some serious and indeed fatal problems in the gene therapy development program as I think we're all aware. Though many of these are thankfully been overcome. Spinal muscular atrophy has a gene therapy which is licensed, but there were early patients who actually had significant problems. A patient of just 6 months of age who developed kidney failure, two other patients who actually developed liver failure.In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a very common condition, again there were significant issues and crucially in these patients who all have cardiomyopathy, it was heart failure and cardiac arrest that were big concerns and pulmonary edema and this was seen even with a CRISPR-based technology and is perhaps is best known but has been addressed the excellent myotubular myopathy patients, four patients died and crucially quite a long time after the gene therapy emphasizing the need to monitor these patients extremely carefully and these patients died of cholestatic liver failure albeit that they had a degree of liver dysfunction.That's changed our screening of course of patients, we're now all looking in myotubular patients for liver involvement and Rett syndrome as well. Now these immunoprophylaxis treatment regimes to hopefully try and reduce the immunological reaction against the gene are certainly evolving.This is just a summary of some of the other immunosuppressive regimes used in other disorders, for example, spinal muscular atrophy, but Pompe and MPS as examples of LSDs. Certainly these regimes will continue to evolve and are going to be very important in seeking to make sure that these treatments are effective. It reminds me somewhat of what's happened with enzyme replacement therapy that the use of these immunological strategies in infants has revolutionized the utility of those treatments in early patients.In the next part, Dr. Roberts will discuss lessons learned from gene therapy trials.

In this part, Dr. Longo will discuss ongoing gene therapies in lysosomal disorders.Nicola Longo MD, PhDI'm going to present to discuss some example of ongoing gene therapy for lysosomal disorder. There are gene therapy in development for both Fabry disease and some of this involve ex vivo gene therapy, many others involve systemic administration with an AAV, Gaucher disease type 1 that affect the periphery, and Gaucher disease type 2, where the replacement should occur within the central nervous system because this condition affects the brain. There is already one approved gene therapy for lysosomal disorder, which is for the early onset metachromatic leukodystrophy. This has been approved both in Europe and now even in the United States, which consists of ex vivo gene therapy with the administration of an extra gene that restore the function of the defective enzyme. Now there are many others that are ongoing for the same indication. There are gene therapy programs for GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis, and at least one for Krabbe disease. It is important to know that some of these condition are actually included in the recommended uniform screening panel. Basically, we would have access to patients in a timely manner for some of these conditions. Then there are several gene therapy under development for the mucopolysaccharidoses, including MPS-IH, MPS-II, MPS-IIIA and MPS-IV.There are different type of lysosomal disorders, the one caused by mutation, integral membrane protein, not enzyme within the lysosome, but protein that are present on the membrane of the lysosome. This gene therapy that have been tested, it is for cystinosis, that it is caused by a defective lysosomal and for Danon disease, which is caused by a deficiency of an integral membrane part. Finally, one lysosomal disorder, which obviously seems a metabolic condition, but it is really not, is glycogen storage disease type 2 or Pompe disease, in which there is the intralysosomal accumulation of glycogen. There are several ongoing clinical trials to try to correct the problem in this condition.Now, I'm going to discuss some of the most advanced program in the lysosomal storage disorder. This include one for Fabry, which is on an accelerated approval pathway with phase 1 and 2 data, one for Gaucher disease type 1. Obviously, I'm going to discuss the one that has been already approved for metachromatic leukodystrophy. There is one for Hunter syndrome, and the difference of the one for Hunter syndrome, it is an example of the direct administration of gene therapy within the central nervous system.Finally, there is one ongoing for glycogen storage disease type 2 or Pompe disease in adult patients. In gene therapy for metachromatic leukodystrophy, it was the first gene therapy approved for lysosomal disorder in human, and this requires harvesting the CD34 cell from affected patient and then introducing the [inaudible 00:04:32] gene back in this cell, and then placing them back inside the patient again. This has been very effective in patients who were treated early, and obviously, the treatment needs to occur before there is irreversible brain damage in this patient.In the next part, Dr. Roberts and Longo will discuss treatment with gene therapies.

In this part, Dr. Longo will discuss gene replacement therapy in lysosomal disorders.Nicola Longo MD, PhDLet's go back a second to gene therapy. Gene therapy obviously has the potential of answering many of the questions that we still have open in lysosomal disorder because they could restore the activity of the lysosome pretty much in the whole body, or at least in multiple tissues. As you have seen, gene therapy can be done ex vivo where we take cells from the affected patient, we correct the gene, or we put an extra gene that it is functional. Then we put them back by doing a bone marrow transplant, basically creating space for the cells that have been genetically modified to correct the lysosomal defect. The biggest approach this is done usually by lentiviruses that they integrate inside the genome.

The contents of this presentation do not constitute an endorsement of any product or indication by Astellas. In this part, Dr. Longo will discuss the current treatment landscape and limitations in lysosomal disorders.Nicola Longo MD, PhDWhat I want to do today, is just place gene replacement therapy within the current landscape of lysosomal storage disorder treatment therapy. Gene therapy obviously has the potential of treating lysosomal disorder to correct the root cause of lysosomal storage disorder. The gene is defective, and what happen is that you can potentially either fix the gene or bypass the lack of the genetic product. But there are already therapies that are existing and are functioning. Obviously, in many cases, the lysosomal disorder is caused by defective production of an enzyme, which is defective.We can either replace the enzyme with enzyme replacement therapy, or provide chaperone for specific mutations that retain the synthesis of the enzyme, that however is not very functional. Another avenue that it is being reported is the utilization of substrate reduction therapy. A substrate accumulates, you prevent the synthesis of the substrate to reduce the accumulation of toxic material. What we know now is that this is not enough to produce many lysosomal disorders. In many cases, the lysosomal disorder result sometime in impairment of intracellular trafficking, and sometime in the function of other organelles.At the end, it results in the activation of the macrophagic system and inflammation. Already we have some therapy acting at this level. The end result of lysosomal storage disorder, there will be cell suffering and cell death, leading to a progression of the disease, and morbidity and mortality. Now, what therapy do we have available already? Obviously, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been around for quite some time.It has been the same thing that we do with gene therapy, except that instead of reintroducing the gene of the subject, we place gene of a subject who is not affected of the disease. This therapy has been proven effective in cases of MPS-1 and alpha-mannosidosis. But in many cases this has to be given way before symptoms start to be affected.Enzyme replacement therapy has been around for quite some time, starting with Gaucher disease, and now that it is available for a list of diseases that are there, so it's like Fabry, Gaucher, Pompe, different types of mucopolysaccharidosis, alpha-mannosidosis, acid lipase deficiency, 1 neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, and Niemann-Pick type A and B.Obviously the advantage of this therapy, they give back the enzyme that it is defective. But the disadvantage that many time they cannot enter specialized areas such as the brain. There is already the second generation of enzyme replacement therapy that it is available. With this second generation, some of the newer drugs are more effective in terms of cellular uptake, or in terms of having a prolonged half-life and prolonged activity.Then there are pharmacological chaperone therapy, and the one which is FDA approved is migalastat for Fabry disease, under study is ambroxol for Gaucher disease. The disadvantage of this therapy that only a selected number of mutations respond to this therapy.Substrate reduction therapy has been introduced for Gaucher disease many years ago with miglustat, and it was followed by eliglustat. Both of them are effective, and some of them more effective than other, simply because of the fewer side effects of eliglustat as compared to miglustat. But at the same time, eliglustat does not pass the blood brain barrier.Finally, the newer agents that are already administered, N-acetyl-L-leucine and arimoclomol, both approved for Niemann-Pick type C, they act more on the downstream effect of the lysosomal storage disorder, either by stabilizing neuronal cell activity or by reducing the inflammation that is present in the brain.In the next part, Dr. Longo will discuss gene replacement therapy in lysosomal disorders.

In this part, Dr. Roberts will discuss vectors, different strategies, modes of administration and targets in gene replacement therapies.Mark Roberts, MDNow in the broader sense, gene replacement therapy seeks to actually deliver genetic material directly into the host cell to influence gene expression. In the most simple idea, one of course has a vector, this is most commonly but not exclusively a virus, which can then be given intravenously for example, and can hope to potentially correct the condition within the individual cells using novel transgenes. Suitable candidate conditions for this as examples of genetic conditions are now well understood. And crucially, this applies not only towards some more recessive, but dominant and even accident conditions.Across the piece, one can see for example, mitochondrial problems, spinal muscular atrophy as is well known, X-linked myotubular myopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a very common condition affecting one in 3000 male individuals, Pompe disease of course, an important focus of the meeting here, but other very common conditions, for example, cystic fibrosis, immunological conditions and perhaps obviously very crucial in early work on gene therapy, hemophilia.Let's now think about the approaches to gene therapy. One can seek to work at the DNA level and gene replacement. In essence, one is trying to put a new transgene through into the nucleus that will ultimately be transcribed and translated and produce the important functional protein that is lost. Gene editing which is a very exciting new technology or CRISPR technology actually seeks to actually modify in vivo the actual mutations that are responsible for the pathogenic production of abnormal proteins and correcting these and actually producing a more normalized protein.But of course there are also RNA approaches where one seeks to actually repair the mRNA transcripts copied from the mutated gene. For example, this may be a novel approach that could be extremely useful in myotonic dystrophy, a multisystem condition. When we talk about the viral vectors, predominantly we're talking about viruses. Those such as adenoviruses and AAV viruses which have the virtue of not integrating into the host genome or at least not in a large amount, and those which deliberately seek to integrate into host genome such as retroviral or lentiviral systems that may be particularly useful for ex vivo systems.There are of course other ways to get genetic payloads into the nucleus, various polymers, nanoparticles and even cell penetrating peptides. Nanoparticles in particular is certainly on the ascendant. That being said, in a recent review of the clinical trials in gene therapy, it was certainly the viral vectors that stood out both in direct gene replacement with lentivirus and AAV, but also actually as delivery systems, for example, for gene editing. An example of what one is seeking to do with AAV, so of course one seeking to remove the native DNA, insert the new transgene directly into the vector and of course keen to make sure that there's a high transmission into the capsid producing a recombinant AAV, which then can be given as a treatment and hopefully produce a therapeutic increase in the functional protein that is deficit in the disorder.In the next part, Dr. Roberts will discuss immune responses and other safety concerns related to gene therapies.

That's a major piece of work. That can often take years. The preclinical work is obviously very important as indeed is understanding the natural history because it's really not practical to do placebo-controlled trials of gene therapies.In contrast to other studies, when we turn to phase 1 and phase 2, you'll notice that the patient numbers are often quite small. One is having to think carefully about surrogate measurements of response. Especially when in phase 3 studies, we may be thinking about withdrawing the existing, for example, enzyme replacement therapy because we believe the gene therapy will then be effective.That's just a few snapshots of where we've come and there's a lot more work to be done.In the next part, Dr. Longo will discuss the current treatment landscape and limitations in lysosomal disorders.

Firstly, whilst we all recognize that these conditions are inherently individually rare, they're certainly severe. Collectively, with over 70 LSD disorders, 1 in 5,000 may be afflicted by these conditions ultimately in their life and can be detected, for example, by newborn screening programs.Secondly, there's certainly a significant clinical burden with these patients with the current standard of care, so a large unmet need exists. Existing enzyme replacement therapies have undoubtedly changed the natural history of many of these conditions, but there are limitations and often initial benefits and later deteriorations.Unfortunately, for most lysosomal storage disorders, it's only symptomatic treatments and indeed, care that is available for these patients with no specific treatment. Thirdly, these conditions are extremely well-characterized, monogenic singleton and problems of inborn errors of metabolism. We know the functional protein that is deficient in these conditions. Because of that, and knowing that these are critical for lysosomal function, and using preclinical models, we can model the potential benefits of gene therapies very well in a number of systems, including, of course, soon, muscle chip experiments as well.Finally, with these conditions, they may potentially be really useful targets whilst not perhaps curing the condition, at least ameliorating the phenotype, and enabling the addition of other treatments as well, potentially. I've noted, some of these therapies can be directly delivered to certain tissues, so muscle tissue, which is my main interest, but also, crucially, the central nervous system, which is very important when we consider ameliorated phenotypes, for example, treated by enzyme replacement therapy, but where the children who become the adults have significant learning disability as a major component to their problems.In the next part, Dr. Roberts will discuss vectors, different strategies, modes of administration, and targets in gene replacement therapies.
