The way you eat, how much you exercise, how you manage stress, and your exposure to environmental toxins all contribute to things like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and of course, heart disease.
However, you actually won’t live longer by running a marathon and you simply cannot age successfully without sufficient, optimal exercise. The type of exercise you do is extremely important.
Research shows high intensity interval training (where you go all out for 30 to 60 seconds, slowing down for a couple of minutes, and repeating) coupled with strength training is an excellent way to make new, improved mitochondria.
Strength training builds muscle and creates more mitochondria, while interval training improves mitochondrial function and how quickly they burn oxygen and calories.
My friend Dave Asprey, joins me on this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy to discuss this and many more tactics on living a longer healthier life.

My Garmin clocks up 20,000 steps a day! I love walking
Movement of 20 min is way to less. You need 3 times a day 30 minutes for most brain benefits
lifting heavy things does suck
I like lifting, makes me feel strong and i imagine my muscles growing
Big microphone…..
Just curious, why just 20 min? Where is the data from that?
I love weight training lol but right now I’m just walking 30 mins a day after work. My doctor was happy to hear that and I’ve already seen benefits.
What’re your thoughts on the flu shot?
