Gripping challenge
It all begins with an idea.
In a recent episode of Dr. Rangan Chatterjee's podcast 'Feel Better, Live More', Dr. Peter Attia gives solid advice on planning for functional decline as you age. One key component was grip strength, and I wanted to know how mine would measure up. While I once did a farmer's carry regularly when training for Strongman, that was twenty years ago. According to Dr. Attia, a woman in her 40s must be able to carry 75% of her body weight for one minute if she hopes to be able to open a jar when she's 75. See how I managed in this video.
Faking it
It all begins with an idea.
The podcast 'The Next Big Idea' featured Chris van Tulleken, author of 'Ultra-Processed People: The Science Behind Food That Isn't Food,' in this compelling episode. He shares a compassionate take on the perils of eating hyper-processed foods and ways to address the industry while recognizing the challenges faced by vulnerable populations. Even if we don't rely on manufactured food habitually, we've all mindlessly blown through a portion size and marveled at how impossible it was to stop eating something. Van Tulleken expertly explains why this is so and what impact it has on our bodies.
