I've interviewed many scientists over the years, each with their own expertise and specialty, ranging from exercise science and kinesiology to gene editing and autophagy. One of my favorite times during each interview is when I get to ask the guest about their personal routines. What do they do to keep healthy – mentally and physically? Their answers contain some common themes – exercising, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking – but there are some surprises, too, like how they handle their weakness for chocolate or deal with the challenges of narcolepsy. In this Aliquot, Drs. Peter Attia, Stuart Phillips, Morgan Levine, Brad Schoenfeld, Michael Snyder, Valter Longo, Martin Gibala, George Church, as well as Kevin and Darya Rose and myself, share our strategies for finding our fitness.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
