Why do humans get cardiovascular disease and how can we prevent it? These are critical processes to understand for anyone who is interested in living a longer and healthier life. I'm very honored to talk with Dr. Tom Dayspring, a world-renowned clinical lipidologist and physician whose topic expertise is unparalleled. We discuss the underlying process of atherosclerosis & the formation of plaques, ApoB, methods to stabilize plaque, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, markers and the risk of atherosclerosis, LP-PLA2 & atherosclerosis, homocysteine and cardiac risk, genetic therapies for lipid disorders. We also discuss lifestyle interventions, including exercise, in managing lipid disorders and reducing cardiovascular risk.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nicolas Verhoeven of Physionic. We focus our attention on metabolic health and, specifically, the energy-related, cellular, and nutritional mechanisms of insulin resistance. Nicolas reviews evidence pertaining to the reversal of insulin resistance and dietary clinical trials demonstrating remission of type 2 diabetes. Nicolas also highlights the synergistic effects of physical activity and dietary habits on insulin resistance, expanding our discussion into mitochondrial health. Finally, we explore importance of a nuanced conversation around autophagy and its role in health and disease prevention.

In this episode, we discuss polarized training, which includes high-volume low intensity training and high-intensity training. We review the scientific literature pertaining to endurance performance, mechanisms of recovery debt, adaptations to various exercise modalities, and developing training programs around polarized training.
