In this solosode, you'll get the latest research on three questions I keep getting asked: are seed oils actually as bad as everyone says, how much strength training do you really need for longevity, and how do you stack peptides safely? You'll gain insights on a brand-new randomized controlled trial on seed oils, which found the opposite of what most people expect. You'll also discover why a 30-year study of more than 147,000 people points to a surprisingly small amount of strength training for the biggest longevity payoff, plus how pairing it with cardio changes the equation for blood pressure. And I answer a listener question on peptides, providing six practical rules for stacking them safely.
