Become Antifragile: Physiologic Flexibility

[00:03:45]   The interview opens with a descriptive conversation about metabolic flexibility and humans as the hybrid species.

[00:08:35]   Carl shares a frustration of his and Dr Mike joins in – do not miss it.

[00:12:30]   The discussion turns to the ketogenic diet and Carl shares his way of eating currently. Dr Mike weighs in.

[00:16:40]   Follow the conversation on fed state signaling.

[00:20:25]   What can we do to improve the antifragile aspect of our bodies? Dr Mike responds.

[00:22:38]   The subject evolves into how far you can take hormesis.

[00:24:19]   Listen to the discussion on heat shock proteins, heat adaptation and the brain’s interpretation of heat. This leads to the topic of perception of fatigue versus actual measurable fatigue of the muscle.

[00:29:10]   Carl talks about an astonishing documentary he has seen and Dr Mike joins in with the brain’s ability to manage pain.

[00:37:10]   Dr Mike shares techniques (4 categories) that likes to use to help people become physically more adapted and antifragile.

• Temperature
• Fuels
• pH

[00:40:00]   HIIT is discussed next, following into the topic of visceral fat.

[00:42:50]   Dr Mike responds to a question of Carl’s on Vitamin C or antioxidants keeping athletes from seeing benefits.

[00:53:30]   Carl rants for a little while ?

[00:54:50]   Dr Mike expounds on the 3 big markers to true longevity:

• physiologic flexibility
• muscle/strength
• VO 2 max/aerobic capacity

Even within that, the better we're able to precondition or to choose to stress our bodies and our physiology in different ways ahead of time, so we get those positive adaptations. Carl weighs in with his view.

[00:58:45]   Listen to Dr Mike share his thoughts on the medical orthodoxy, while Carl has some strong views and speaks the truth!
