Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/498

In this solosode I kick off by talking about whether isometric training is worth your time, covering both my own fitness habits and the newest research, particularly for runners and joint health. I also unpack a buzzworthy study on how just 10 minutes of vigorous exercise daily can be a powerful longevity booster compared to longer, lighter workouts.

I share why I no longer personally use metformin, and instead, offer my favorite natural alternatives for better blood sugar control—like berberine, fiber, cinnamon, and simple routines like salads and walks. Plus, I get into brain health, explaining the roles of ketones, methylene blue, and near-infrared light for cognitive performance and protecting against issues like Alzheimer’s. At the end, I answer listener questions on optimizing DHT levels, natural insulin-sensitizers, and keeping your hair healthy even if you’re on testosterone. If you’re interested in practical strategies and learning what’s currently working in my own routine, you’ll enjoy this episode.
