I denne episoden har vi besøk av lege Arne Løberg Sæter og gründer Jacob Mørch, duoen bak helsetjenesten Amino. Sammen dykker vi ned i hvordan man kan ta grep om egen helse ved hjelp av ulike helsedata, blant annet gjennom blodprøver og annen screening.Vi snakker blant annet om: – Hva som skiller Amino fra en tradisjonell helsesjekk hos fastlegen – Hvorvidt det er «nødvendig» med denne typen innsikt, og hvorfor – Hvilken helsescreening som er mest relevant for folk som trener – VO2max som et mål på generell helseEpisoden viser mulighetene vi har for å få mer helseinnsikt, og tar samtidig for seg og de kritiske aspektene ved denne formen for helseoptimalisering. Perfekt for deg som er nysgjerrig på hvordan du kan forstå kroppen din enda bedre, og kanskje ta smartere valg på veien mot bedre helse!Episoden er laget i samarbeid med Amino. Hosted on Acast.

Nesten 10 måneder har gått siden Anders fullførte 15 maraton på 15 dager i 15 fylker – til inntekt for Aktiv mot Kreft. Innsamlingen hans i fjor resulterte i at hele tre nye og livsviktige Pusterom ble bygget på sykehus rundt om i Norge.Mandag 30. juni kl. 07:00 står han igjen klar, denne gangen på Aker Brygge i Oslo, med mål om å løpe hjem til bryggen i Sandnes på kun fire dager. Igjen for å samle inn penger til Aktiv mot Kreft.Hvorfor akkurat fire dager? Hvorfor til inntekt for Aktiv mot Kreft? Og hvorfor ønsker han selskap av deg langs løypa? Alt dette forklarer Anders i denne episoden.Vil du vite mer om prosjektet? Følg Anders på Instagram her, og se hvilke etapper han skal løpe her. Ønsker du å støtte saken hans? Doner direkte via her. Vi støtter, heier og jubler for hver meter Anders tar, og for hver krone han samler inn. Han er en ekte hverdagshelt som gang på gang viser hvor langt han er villig til å løpe for å skape oppmerksomhet rundt en sak som dessverre berører altfor mange.Har du mulighet til å bidra, enten ved å støtte innsamlingen, løpe sammen med Anders underveis, eller møte ham og de andre på bryggen i Sandnes torsdag ettermiddag eller kveld, så hadde det betydd enormt mye.Vi er ganske sikre på at episoden faller i smak.God helse. Ta vare på dem du er glad i.Podkasten er sponset av:
Løping er verdens enkleste idrett, og som fellesskap tenker vi det er verdt å gjøre en innsats for å holde det sånn. Selv om det stadig dukker opp nye dingser, trender og ting man kan krydre hobbyen med.Denne episoden er et forsøk på å svare på noen av de spørsmålene som tikker inn i innboksen vår med jevne mellomrom. Samtidig er det et forsøk på å ikke bidra til at terskelen for å ta seg en løpetur skyter til himmels.Det finnes mange måter å bli bedre på, og det du velger å gjøre med kosthold og sportsernæring kan påvirke mer enn du tror. Funker det du gjør nå? Nydelig. Er du litt på jakt etter noe nytt? Kanskje du plukker opp noe her.Temaet er bredt som bare det, så vi holder oss litt på overflata i denne episoden, men si ifra hvis du vil vi skal grave dypere i noe senere.Uansett håper vi episoden faller i smak. Kanskje lærer du noe nytt. Kanskje får du bare en bekreftelse på at du allerede er på rett spor. Begge deler er helt konge.God lytting og god helse.Podkasten er sponset av:
In this episode, we were in conversation with Brady Holmer who has majored in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida and is a long distance runner himself. This conversation dives into understanding the significance of VO2Max for athletes as well as the general population. How to find out your VO2Max score, how to improve it, whether VO2Max is the key indicator of fitness or are there other factors are a few other topics that also formed part of this conversation. We also dived into Brady's running journey to becoming a 2:26 marathoner at Boston.Know more about Brady Homer : https://www.bradyholmer.com/About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

In this Q&A-focused episode of The Athletes Compass, the hosts respond to listener questions around balancing endurance training with busy lives. They break down how Athletica's adaptive AI helps athletes navigate shifting schedules, discuss when to move or modify a VO2 Max workout, and explore the nuances of short interval formats like 30-30s, 30-15s, and 40-20s. The conversation also challenges the traditional idea that one massive long run is essential before race day, offering a volume-based approach instead. For everyday athletes juggling work, family, and goals, this episode is a reality check and a motivational guide.Key Takeaways:Sleep trumps all: 90% of recovery comes from quality sleep.Training flexibility is essential: Athletica lets you move, skip, or swap workouts without breaking your plan.Busy athletes need context-based plans: Not every day allows for a perfect session—do what's sustainable.VO2 Max sessions aren't sacred: Move them if needed, or modify based on how you feel.30-30s aren't just for cyclists: They're equally effective for runners when adapted correctly.Strides need better explanation: They're about activating fast-twitch fibers, not hitting a specific HR.Volume over singularity: Weekly mileage matters more than one long run.The AI isn't perfect, but it's improving: Take AI feedback with context and a grain of salt.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

This week's show brought to you by: Kila Running When we first got connected with the team at Kila insoles, they explained that they can make high-performance insoles perfectly designed for your feet within days, just by using the Kila Running app. All you have to do is open the app and place the phone on the ground, then take a few photos of your feet using the FaceID camera. This allows them to create a full 3D scan within minutes. They don't even need your shoe size! Once you get past the weirdness of taking photos of your feet, it's pretty cool to see the images for yourself and then get the notification that the scans are being sent to their North American orthotics lab. After that the insoles arrive as fast as that same week. Kila isn't the first company to use an iPhone or iPad to scan your feet for orthotics—it's actually becoming the standard method doctors and sports medicine clinics use to create a foot cast. But Kila is bringing that same technology to the direct-to-consumer space, at about one-quarter the cost. Most insoles feel bulky and rigid, but Kila custom insoles are more like having a layer of supershoe foam underfoot propelling you through your stride. All you have to do when they arrive is slip out your old insoles and put these in. It might take some getting used to the full-foot contact but it's pretty amazing how great they feel and you won't be disappointed. Just head to kilarun.com and you can get $70 off your first pair and with a 60-day money back guarantee. Creatine Gummies Designed for the Needs of Endurance Athletes You've undoubtedly heard about the benefits of creatine. It's been heralded as the single most effective legal supplement on the market.

Well, not any longer with the first creatine gummy formulated specifically for endurance athletes from MAS Edge.

Plus, the gummies are so delicious that you'll look forward to taking them every day. If you're ready to experience a pure, fast-acting creatine that fuels your muscles, enhances your performance and helps you recover every time you train then you have to check them out.

Pero en 2025 ha decidido subir el listón y entrar de lleno en la conversación del deporte de alto nivel. Ya no basta con contar pasos o avisarte de un WhatsApp. Ahora quieren ser el reloj que lleves a tus tiradas largas, tus series y tus ultras de montaña. Y con los nuevos Huawei Watch 5 y Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, van muy en serio. En el nuevo episodio del RUNNEA Podcast, Gorka Cabañas, director de contenidos de RUNNEA, y Lionel Nattes, responsable de producto y probador habitual, se mojan tras haberlos puesto a prueba en condiciones reales, incluso es 2 maratones de montaña seguidos, sin recargar el reloj... ¿Quieres saber cómo ha ido la cosa? De la duda al convencimiento Lionel fue el primero en admitirlo: no esperaba tanto de los nuevos modelos de Huawei. Pero después de más de un mes de uso diario y una exigente doble maratón de trail, su opinión ha cambiado radicalmente. “Pensaba que eran relojes correctos… pero me han aguantado jornadas enteras de montaña, con un excelente GPS, mapas y seguimiento de track, sin despeinarse. Y encima la pantalla se ve mejor que en muchos relojes de gama alta. Me ha convencido” El Huawei Watch 5, con un diseño más clásico y potente, se sitúa en la franja de los 400 a 500 euros, dependiendo de la versión (Classic, Pro...). El Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, más ligero y estilizado, ronda los 250 euros. Ambos modelos sorprenden por lo que ofrecen a ese precio: autonomía real, GPS dual preciso, altímetro barométrico, mapas sin conexión y funciones completas de salud y entrenamiento. Gorka estuvo en la presentación oficial de ambos relojes en Berlín, y no se limita a comentar specs: aporta contexto. Huawei quiere que se les empiece a mirar con los mismos ojos con los que se evalúa a Garmin, Polar o Apple. Y para eso están apostando fuerte por el desarrollo de software, precisión en sensores, integración de métricas y diseño. “Quieren jugar en la misma liga que los grandes. Y el discurso que vi en Berlín no era de marca tech que se apunta al deporte por moda, era de marca que entiende el entrenamiento como una ciencia. Hablaron de VO2max, de umbral, de zonas de pulso y de recuperación con una seriedad que me sorprendió.” Tienes que tener claro que no se trata de un vídeo comercial. En RUNNEA te ayudamos a buscar el mejor material y a poder ser, al mejor precio. Y eso es lo que son estos 2 relojes. Una oportunidad de tener un gran dispositivo a un gra precio. Navegación con mapas sin conexión en trailPrecisión del GPS, altímetro y seguimiento de ritmoDetección de umbrales, VO2max, carga de entrenamientoAutonomía real con sesiones largas (más de 10 horas con GPS)Pantalla, respuesta táctil y visibilidad con luz solarUtilidad de las funciones de salud: sueño, estrés, pulsaciones, recuperación ¿Para qué tipo de corredor es cada uno? ¿Pueden competir con los grandes? La respuesta no es un sí o un no, es un “depende de lo que busques”. Si haces trail técnico extremo o preparas un Ironman, quizá sigas mirando a Garmin o Coros. Pero si corres 3-5 veces por semana, haces tiradas largas y te interesa tener buenas métricas sin dejarte 700€, Huawei empieza a sonar muy convincente. Y si además te importa la estética, la batería, y quieres funciones de salud integradas (oxígeno, sueño, ciclo menstrual, estrés, respiración…), puede que estés ante los relojes más completos del mercado por debajo de los 500€. 🎧 El episodio completo ya está disponible en YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast y otras plataformas #huawei #runnea #huaweiwatchfit4pro #relojesdeportivos

Wille och Jacob svarar på lyssnarfrågor där den stora frågan blev om det finns någon speciellt stadie i livet då styrketräning blir viktigare än konditionsträning för hälsan? Den frågan mynnar ut i en diskussion kring hur stark som är stark nog när det gäller benstyrka om huruvida den gränsen bör vara olika i olika åldrar för att man ska ha någon typ av buffert när man åldras. Förutom det så diskuteras också träning med artros samt vad som händer med VO2max om man av någon anledning behöver vara väldigt inaktiv under några veckor. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta och tidigare avsnitt. Hålltider (00:00:00) Introsnack (00:06:40) Hur stor hänsyn ska man ta till smärta från artros när man tränar?

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA's quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it's time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn't come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention.
We go deep into a couple papers that measure the relative contributions to early VO2max improvements, and the evidence about whether they're more are muscular or cardiac in nature, and what physiological differences there are with more well trained people. Moderate and high intensity training are contrasted, as well as the obvious shortcuts, plus a first-principles approach to alternative mechanisms. We also answer your listener questions on if you can screw up newbie gains, how much is just mental toughness, and more.
You've probably heard of HIIT—but have you heard of “REHIT?” This isn't just another workout trend...it's a new science-backed way to train with maximum efficiency and zero wasted time. If you're still jogging, you're wasting hours for minimal results. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Ulrich Dempfle, German-trained engineer and co-founder of CAROL Bike, to dismantle outdated cardio advice and introduce the 5-minute protocol that's obliterating fitness myths. Forget the treadmill grind. REHIT (Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Training) exercising delivers: • 12% VO₂ max increase• 6x the fitness gains of daily jogging • 62% drop in diabetes risk • 5x more BDNF for brain power —all with just 8 minutes of effort per week. But was it? Ulrich unpacks the hard data, crushes the Zone 2 obsession, and shows how a brand-new way of exercising is giving explosive results—no matter your age or fitness level. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why Zone 2 cardio is outdated advice for most people • The science of REHIT and how 2 sprints beat 2-hour workouts • The shocking data on VO₂ max, insulin sensitivity, and lifespan • How CAROL uses AI to personalize exercise for any age or ability • Why most people fail at fitness—and how to fix it • The real role of lactate, BDNF, and HRV in recovery and resilience • How perimenopausal women benefit more from REHIT than HIIT or jogging • Why adherence—not intensity—is the #1 predictor of results • What to do when you're traveling or don't have access to the tech Resources: • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • CAROL Bike Website and use code ‘DAVE' for a discount – https://carolbike.com/ • CAROL Bike Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecarolbike/?hl=en • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: • 00:00 Introduction to REHIT Training • 00:24 Meet Ulrich Dempfle: The Mind Behind CAROL Bike • 00:51 The Science and Benefits of REHIT • 01:44 Comparing Traditional Cardio to REHIT • 02:32 Dave Asprey's Personal Fitness Journey • 03:43 The Efficiency of REHIT Training • 05:03 Practical Applications and Accessibility of REHIT • 08:22 Addressing Common Concerns and Misconceptions • 11:25 The Future of Fitness: REHIT and Beyond • 18:29 Scientific Validation and Real-World Results • 31:53 Clinical Trials and Tech Integration • 32:06 Upgrade Labs and CAROL Bike • 33:00 Mitochondrial Effectiveness and Insulin Sensitivity • 36:05 Zone Two Training vs. High-Intensity Training • 42:02 REHIT for Perimenopausal Women • 48:18 AI and Personalized Exercise • 57:52 Lactate and Exercise Benefits • 01:01:48 Interval Walking Training • 01:04:01 Conclusion and Future Insights See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are your mitochondria aging faster than you are? In this episode, Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky breaks down the central role of mitochondria in aging, longevity, and overall metabolic health. Learn how mitochondrial dysfunction drives age-related decline, including neurodegenerative diseases, and what you can do about it. From the paradox of oxidative stress to the risks of overusing antioxidants, this conversation unpacks what actually supports mitochondrial health—including a clinical “mitochondrial cocktail” targeting multiple aging pathways. Dr. Tarnopolsky also explains how exercise, nutrition, VO2 max, and exokines impact your healthspan, plus why most therapeutics miss the mark.

In 2016 the American Heart Association called for Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF), generally measured using VO2max, to be included as a vital sign. They said:“The underlying premise of this statement is that the addition of CRF for risk classification presents health professionals with unique opportunities to improve patient management and to encourage lifestyle-based strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk.”In this episode we discuss the arguments made and evidence cited in that statement, as well the update published in 2024.If you're the type to want follow up citations/further readings, here are a few that we found interesting (but you can find many more cited in the two statements linked above):People over 60 can still improve their VO2 by just as much as young people, relative to their baseline.Here's where you'll find the normative values from the Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database (FRIEND) that we discussed.And before you ask, we also briefly address the classic "strength vs cardio" debate. Here are some studies we used to support it:Association of Resistance Exercise with Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality (yes, we understand that CVD is probably not the right place to look for strength training benefits)Optimum dosing of resistance training for health and longevity
In this chat, our podcast hosts start with Danika's idea of going to a lab for a VO2max testing. From there, Christina and Stephen bounce off some ideas about how that information might be helpful for her goal along with what they think may be effective or accessible ways of gathering similar info about training status and capability without the price tag or lab appointment.
We put sensors in all the right places before this HOT episode! The main discussion was on the emerging science of heat training, centered around a 2025 study that showed 3 x weekly sessions could sustain hematological adaptations from an altitude camp. Heat training is no longer just about being ready for hot weather. It's about helping our blood be full of oxygen, powering performance in all conditions.

Episode 2629: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss making small changes, how NSNG® is the "eat real food" program, getting in more steps, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/04/the-eat-real-food-program-episode-2629 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - The Eat Real Food Program Chris's fiancé has changed some of her eating and is doing great. (2:00) She made some minor changes and is feeling a big difference in how she feels. Be mindful of all your eating and lifestyle habits; some things sneak in that you think won't make a difference, but they do. For example, too much cream in your coffee, spices with additives, and processed foods (even “healthy” ones). An article from GQ magazine states there are only 5 health numbers that matter. (20:13) Vinnie states these are VO2 Max, resting heart rate, oxygen numbers, blood metrics, vitamin and mineral levels, grip strength, anaerobic strength, and flexibility. The article states VO2 Max, HRV, consistent sleep, respiratory rate, and number of steps—Vinnie agrees that that's a start. Take the opportunity to add more steps to your day, whether shopping or at the airport, there is a way to get more active. (30:00) Jenny McCarthy has switched from being vegan to being a carnivore. (41:00) Chris reads another headline about vegan burgers and recent food testing. (45:00) They discuss the research and the struggle of imitation meats, which is they will not taste nor be as good as the real thing.

We put on our finest white spandex for this amazing episode! The main topic was a new review study on protein needs for endurance athletes. The authors used a cool method of isotope labeling to argue that endurance athletes need more protein than traditional recommendations. The nutrition revolution is not just about carbs! And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: the announcement of an Unbreakable 2 documentary heading into Western States, Kilian Jornet's sustained dominance since the first Unbreakable was filmed, the 1-year anniversary of the bike crash, Tailwind High-Carb, our questions about protein recommendations, increased power and weight in professional cycling, torpedo bats dominating the conversation in baseball, mile times of the Houston basketball team, VO2 max estimates from your watch across different sports, nutrition on race week, the "yips" in running, balancing intensity with cross training, maintaining confidence when changing jobs, overdressed walking for heat training, and balancing training with studying for the bar exam.Thank you so much for being here in the year since the accident.
