Summary
After a 20-year bodybuilding career, everyone asks why I've changed the way that I train, and why I approach fitness and health so differently after retiring from competition. As I continue to build upon the foundation of being lean, healthy, and muscular for life, longevity has become a huge focus for myself and the high-achieving individuals who go through Muscle Intelligence training.
Today's episode offers you the BEST techniques and habits to bridge the gap between intelligent muscle-building and longevity. Today's 33 tools are immediately applicable for men and women of ALL ages who aim to show up as their best selves day in and day out. You'll learn:
- Everyday practices to help you maintain quality of life as you get older (and why it's SO important to start young).
- Nutritional and supplemental protocols to optimize performance, energy, and cognition.
- Why muscles are EXTREMELY important, valuable organs.
- How intentionality, clarity, and mindfulness transform into true fulfillment.
- Plus...the ONE factor that defines the entire aging process.
P.S. Today's episode comes with a special offer: I've got episode notes for you (click here!) that make it easy to keep today's tips with you as you move through the rest of your month, year, and life. The episode notes PDF includes links to all episodes, websites, and people that I've mentioned in this episode. Share them with someone that you know will find them valuable!

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn't for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it's not about MORE or what you do, it's about BETTER and how you do it... Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.
I'm not in the business of convincing anyone. I'm in the business of transformation.
The individuals who come to us are already high-performers. They're committed. Ready.
Don't get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it's going to be too hard.
But here's the tough love you need to hear: The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.
I'm looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you're serious and you're committed, I'd love to see if you're a right fit for a program I'm starting in 2022. Apply now at https://go.muscleintelligence.com/coaching-application/

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast. My name is Ben Pekolsky, and we frame this podcast where I'm living your greatest life in a body that you absolutely love. |
| 0:17.8 | I was once a professional bodybuilder and everyone asked Ben, why have you changed |
| 0:21.7 | the way you approach fitness? Why have you changed the way you approach training? And today I'm |
| 0:25.6 | going to reveal the answer. We get into the conversation around longevity, the best practices |
| 0:30.1 | in longevity and some of the science that I'm going to be diving into today and for the entirety of |
| 0:35.4 | 2022. One of my primary objectives for 2022 is to start to bridge |
| 0:40.0 | the gap between intelligent training, which is what we've been teaching here for years and |
| 0:44.1 | muscle intelligence and muscle expert prior to that, and how you can ultimately apply those |
| 0:48.7 | best practices and that knowledge to extend your life. There's some amazing, amazing researchers and people |
| 0:55.4 | out there implementing best practices every day, studying deep levels of science so we can |
| 1:00.9 | ultimately extend our life and the quality of life. That's the conversation of today's |
| 1:05.8 | podcast. I'm going to give you my 30 best practices that you should be thinking about on a consistent basis. |
| 1:12.2 | I won't say you need to do them all every day. |
| 1:13.9 | And the one singular thing that Dr. David Sinclair says is the solution to all of it |
| 1:19.6 | and actually the reason why we do any of these practices. |
| 1:23.2 | All that coming at you after a note from our show with sponsors for today. |
| 1:29.0 | Today's podcast is brought to by our friends over at Buy Optimizers. They have done it again with Biome Breakthrough. They're always |
| 1:35.3 | on the cutting edge of releasing brand new products that are highly effective and I love |
| 1:40.8 | this new product. So if you've heard me speak in the past or you've ever worked with me personally, one of the first things I work on with my clients or anyone that I'm working with personally is the microbiome. The microbiome is kind of the lens or the filtration system that everything passes through. And if your microbiome is dysregulator, dysbiotic, your body doesn't process food well. You become inflamed. You |
| 2:02.0 | have digestive issues. Your body can get your brain can become inflamed. You can lack focus and |
| 2:06.2 | you can get brain fog. So many things are associated with this lack of a healthy microbiome. |
| 2:12.7 | So the holidays are over and the time to set our eyes on new goals and New Year's here. |
