This week we are talking with Dr. Steven Geanopulos. Dr. G is a renowned Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist dedicated to holistic health. He is one of America’s leading experts in lifelong, optimized living. Dr G recently visited our facility and tested the VO2 max on 5 participants. VO2 max is a powerful predictor of long term health and longevity. Studies have shown that individuals with a higher VO2Max tend to have a lower risk of various chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. A higher VO2 Max could mean more years of life, and more importantly, more active, healthy years. In today’s conversation we are going to discuss in detail what VO2 max is, how to improve and we will be reviewing my personal testing results.
