heroic aging

In this episode, we ask a radical question: is frailty really inevitable with age? I share the story of Rex —a former smoker and drinker who became a 200-kilo squatting legend in his 60s— and break down what the science says about strength, independence, and resilience later in life. Whether you're in your 40s, 60s, or beyond, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to age heroically and avoid the slow slide into frailty.
