Add 12 Years to Your Life with Simple Biohacks - Siim Land

Diet and lifestyle hacks for building muscle, improving health and living longer.
“Only 12 percent of Americans are considered metabolically healthy. In actual peak health, the percentage is probably 5 or 6%.” -Siim Land
We might be living longer, but those extra years aren’t spent in good health - we’re sicker than ever. Longevity is meant to be about quantity AND quality. So how do you get both?
Siim Land is a biohacker and bestselling author of eight books on health and longevity, including Stronger By Stress and Metabolic Authophagy.
If you want a complete rundown of the food, the exercise and the lifestyle changes you need to live longer and happier, Siim’s your man.
In this episode, he explores the impact of muscle strength, VO2 max and sprinting on ageing. He explains what metabolic autophagy is, why it’s considered the “new hallmark of ageing”, and what you can do to manipulate it. And he explores the hidden dangers of overtraining, why diet choices are more important than specific foods, and why sprinting is a superpower for longevity.

One thing to note is that you can train almost every day, WHEN you don't go to failure. I trained 5-6 days/week calisthenics for years. Sunday was always rest day for me, sometimes wednesday too. The amount of volume was alot, got significant cardio, muscle and strength gains. Only trained like 30min/daily. Lots of reps, and sets with little rest. But keeping strict form is crucial. That's also why I stopped before failure. My heartrate was going to 150-160 while doing burpees or lots of pull ups. Maybe not optimal time wise, but is fun and works for me.

Referencing the discussion at 13 minutes, it's always so odd to me that they would measure weightlifting in time and not number of working sets or reps or something. Some people take one minute between sets some people take five. Not really a good way to measure.

[@SiimLand]

That is true, but it's the best we have right now

I don’t know about you but I find 20-30 yo’s giving longevity advice a little sus.

[@rthompsontrucking]

Lol, you are old and said sus

I agree, he does not appear to have a good handle on the massive impact that our diet plays in defining good health. In particular you cannot exercise your way out the health problems caused by long term exposure to a high percentage UPF diet, that one thing has a huge impact on how healthy we are when older.

[@SiimLand]

I'm just sharing the research I'm most interested in. I fortunately started with this journey at a young age and am well ahead of the curve. I wouldn't take any longevity advice from centenarians either because if you ask them what's the secret to their longevity, they'll say things like coco puffs, vodka martini a night, 3 Dr peppers a day, etc. Fact is the centenarians live long because of their genetics because their lifestyle isn't different from the general population. Their genetics just protects them against the diseases that kill other people in their 70s and 80s

Diet is important, yes. But not nearly as important as some other factors. Centenarian data also suggests that these people don't have pristine diets. They eat ice cream, chocolate and drink alcohol. UPF is harmful in a dose-dependent manner instead of in a binary manner
