Summary

In this episode, we go deep on the real drivers of aging, performance, and long-term health.We break down why poor sleep becomes exponentially more damaging as you age, how oxygen saturation impacts recovery, what “sleep burden” actually means, and why tracking O2 might be one of the most important metrics after 50.We discuss senolytic cells, mitochondrial function, hyperbaric oxygen, creatine and energy substrates, and why blindly experimenting with peptides can be riskier than people think.We also dive into gut health — restoring Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia, rhythmic pulsing vs daily supplementation, breast milk components, resistant starch, and how microbiome balance affects immunity, fat loss, and inflammation.Follow Joel Green here:https://linktr.ee/joelgreene?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioSpecial perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!

Our peptides have become a religion is like how dare you speak against peptides. The number one thing you have to be tracking as you get around, you know, 50-ish, you've got to track your O2 sat.
