5 Shocking Misconceptions About Doping In Olympic and Professional Sports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost everything the average sports fan believes about doping is wrong. The “dirty cheaters stealing medals from clean athletes” story almost never describes what actually happened. Instead, we’ve had dirty sports, Cold War dynamics, and athletes faced with the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” devil’s bargain. In this show you’ll learn why doping has been cleaned up significantly from past eras, where the problem remains, and why professional cycling is perhaps the most glaring example. You’ll
Is Circadian Rhythm The Ultimate Biohack? (Yes: Especially For Post-Menopausal Females!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Could optimizing your circadian rhythm be the most important health intervention of all? In this show, I take a trip around the 24-hour clock, exploring fascinating ideas about light, leptin, metabolism, sleep, and circadian biology.

I recorded this show on the occasion of my first visit to the blood lab after signing up for Vitals Vault’s premium program, and I talk about some of my favorite markers while pedaling home from the lab. I focus a lot on testosterone because I believe it’s a great proxy for overall wellness, vitality, recovery, and resilience to stress. I share my own nu
Is Pursuing "Loungevity" Over Longevity Funny, Or Offensive? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Should we pursue "loungevity" instead of longevity? This is a question posed by prominent sports commentator Colin Cowherd on a recent rant that appeared on Instagram.
