Episode #126: Biohacking Longevity & Health From a Bodybuilder's Perspective

My guest this week is Kris Gethin, Editor-in-Chief of BodyBuilding.com & Co-Founder and CEO of Kaged Muscle.

In this episode, Kris and I discuss how you can achieve peak physical performance without sacrificing longevity or health. Historically, this health tradeoff has been common in the bodybuilding and extreme sport communities; an often short lived career (or hobby) with long-term health implications from the physical and biological abuse they put their bodies through. But Kris' approach is proving otherwise.

The best part of this conversation is that the strategies Kris uses and shares with us are not just for elite athletes, and extremely applicable to anyone interested in making sure their health span is equivalent to their lifespan. So, whether you are a fitness fanatic, biohacker, or just interested in being healthy inside and out, this episode's expert advice is one you've been waiting for!
