Summary
Have you ever heard that dramatically under-eating or chronically starving yourself will lead to increased longevity?
I've seen multiple media reports claiming that undereating by 20% or 30% of your daily caloric needs will add years to your lifespan.
Thankfully, it's not true. In fact, starving yourself of food, especially protein, could actually reduce your lifespan.
So what are the lifestyle practices that actually drive longevity?
To help separate fact from fiction, I'm thrilled that returning to the show today is our good buddy Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, powerlifting champion, and now a 2x New York Times best-selling author, co-host of Healthy Rebellion Radio, and the co-founder of DrinkLMNT Electrolytes.
In this interview with Robb, we're chatting about:
- Why fasting too much may negatively impact performance and longevity
- Why cows and pasture-raised animals are good for us (and the planet)
- What happened when Google's algorithm skewed search results and put independent health authors like Robb and me on the naughty list
- How our free speech and First Amendment rights were sacrificed when Big Tech invested in Biotech
- Why decentralization and Web 3.0 will save the internet
- And tons more…
