I’m thrilled to bring you Dave Pascoe—a former network security architect turned longevity athlete and biohacker—whose measured approach to anti‑aging is both rigorous and refreshingly practical. We trace Dave’s journey from teenage hacker to data‑driven health optimizer, the telomere wake‑up call that shifted his mindset, and how he now tracks biological age with epigenetic testing (including the DunedinPACE “pace of aging” algorithm popularized by TrueDiagnostic). We also unpack the Rejuvenation Olympics—what the leaderboard actually measures and how to think about it without the hype. If you’ve heard buzzwords like “pace of aging” and wondered what they really mean, we translate them into plain English here.  From there we get tactical: why Dave cut out ultra‑processed foods (we touch on the NOVA classification so you can spot them fast), how he reframed running and training, and why VO₂ max is one of the strongest fitness predictors of longevity. We compare sprint work vs. endurance for healthspan, dive into SHBG and testosterone (and why carbs, stress, and training load matter), and talk sleep, meditation, and the often‑ignored lymphatic system—including why movement is non‑negotiable because your lymph relies on muscle contraction to flow. Expect clear takeaways you can apply this week: food upgrades, training levers, recovery basics, and lab markers that actually move the needle.  Finally, we open the hood on Dave’s AI‑driven supplement schedule—how he used large language models to de‑conflict ~100+ ingredients into practical AM/PM dosing, and why he’s building a personal GPT that ingests labs, wearables, and genetics for personalized protocols. We also level‑set on gene‑therapy hype, “exercise in a pill,” and influencer blueprints versus fundamentals. The mantra we land on is simple: “Comfort is good, capability is better.” Listen in for the frameworks, the mistakes to avoid, and a preview of Part 2, where we’ll walk through Dave’s public playbook so you can build your own. 🎯 Apply for Health Optimization Coaching 🔗 <a href='https://coaching.knowyourphysio.org/video1729359042808'>https://coaching.knowyourphysio.org/video1729359042808</a> Topics Covered:[00:09:13] Biohacking the human body.[00:13:31] Pace of aging tests.[00:19:14] Marathon training at 50.[00:33:11] AI-driven health optimization.[00:48:30] Fasting and carbohydrate cycling.[00:57:45] Longevity and quality of life.[01:02:14] Supplements and their effectiveness.[01:06:12] Gene therapy and health optimization.[01:12:56] Importance of exercise for health.[01:16:54] Longevity and daily exercise.[01:22:04] Bad science in health products.[01:26:24] Get up and move.[01:30:39] Free resources for healthy living.
