What's the Minimum Strength Training for Longevity? 2026 Research

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down the 2026 research showing that just two 30-minute strength training sessions per week can meaningfully reduce mortality risk—no gym membership or hours of training required.

Why Your Resting Heart Rate Matters for Heart Health

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park explore why your resting heart rate is one of the most reliable indicators of cardiovascular health, breaking down what the research actually says about the 60-100 bpm "normal" range and why aiming for 50-70 is worth the effort. You'll learn the specific factors that drive your resting heart rate up—from sleep and stress to dehydration—and the evidence-backed strategies that lower it, including aerobic exercise, sleep, stress management, and movement breaks throughout your day. Emma and David also discuss how to interpret your wearable data realistically, address the real-life obstacles people face (like uncontrollable sleep schedules), and when it's worth bringing these numbers to your doctor.

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what telomere science actually shows about biological aging—and what commercial tests claiming to measure your "real age" actually can't tell you.
