The Daily Apple Podcast - The Science (and Activity) Behind Staying Young - Benjamin Miller PhD
Description
Thrilled to sit down for a fascinating conversation with longevity expert & avid cyclist Dr. Benjamin Miller from Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation & the President of the American Aging Association. I’ve been looking forward to our conversation for a long time. He is truly an authority in this space, and I learned a lot during our discussion.
We get to dive deep into the latest research concerning cellular energetics (mitochondrial dysfunction), and lean muscle maintenance (proteostasis), how they relate to aging, the importance of ‘energy on demand’ and steps we can take to slow this progression of decline, having a more robust healthy life.
Dr. Miller brings a fresh perspective to the conversation, challenging us to shift our mindset from ‘purposeful exercise’ to simply, ‘physical activity’ - how that along has tremendous benefits. The idea of exercise can be a bit daunting to many. Instead, simply focusing on making that first step- because going from doing nothing to doing something reaps huge dividends.
