Description
https://korr.com/products/vo2-max-testing-system/
In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber take a deep dive into how to train for a long, healthy, and active life. Instead of obsessing over quick results or "goal metrics," they explain why focusing on sustainable "process metrics" creates better outcomes over decades—not just weeks. You'll learn how to set up your training, recovery, and lifestyle habits so you can stay in the game for years, avoid burnout and injury, and keep doing the activities you love at every stage of life.

The key differences between goal metrics (e.g., weight loss, race times) and process metrics (e.g., heart rate zones, sleep quality).
-
Why consistency beats intensity for long-term health and performance.
-
How to build a 30-year health plan that balances exercise, recovery, nutrition, and stress management.
