I covered the following questions:
What socks do you hike in? I’m hiking the Grand Canyon in Spring.
My answer covers my favorite hiking socks as well as tips for selecting shoes for hiking. Hint: No GORETEX.
How does following a consistent, focused training protocol — like combining strength, bodyweight assistance work, Zone 2 cardio, and VO2 max intervals — compare in efficacy (for long-term healthspan and lifespan) to constantly mixing up workouts and exercises for the sake of variety?
I talk about the limits of what we know around specific exercise programming and longevity, some common sense plans that act as a hedge in the fact of uncertainty, and why I’m leaning more heavily into outdoor workouts for healthspan and lifespan.
How seriously should we take in-store ‘experts’ who analyze your gait and fit you for sport-specific shoes? Do they help?
I explain why shoe fittings can help but also act as a temporary fix—and a better long-term solution.
Any updates on the Don’t Die Retreat for 2025?
We’re targeting November 15th and 16th. Get excited.
In your Huberman podcast you referenced places you loved to explore outside of national parks. Would be interested in hearing about your favorite less populated or off the grid places to hike and backpack.
I explain my favorite place in the world, the limits of National Parks, and how to find the best, most-underrated places on earth.
How much rucking and weight lifting should I do per week?
I explain how often I think the average person can ruck and how to approach strength training based on your goals.
What can I do to fix knee pain?
I covered how to balance training and a stretch that seems to clear up a lot of knee pain.
What counts as a Misogi?
I explain how to gauge if something is a Misogi and the larger point of Misogi.
