  • Mark Sisson: Why Walking Beats Running for Longevity

    Mark Sisson: Why Walking Beats Running for Longevity
    Mar 6 2025
    What’s better for longevity—running or walking?

    It’s a bit of a trick question.

    But if there is one answer, it’s definitely walking.

    If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer fests and slog through long runs.

    In fact, when you combine daily walks with the habit of sprinting just about once a week, magic starts to happen.

    Today, I’m thrilled to be joined once again by our friend Mark Sisson, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Primal Kitchen and Peluva minimalist shoes.

    Mark had an incredible career as an elite endurance athlete, qualifying for the 1980 Olympic trials in the marathon. But as you’ll hear, his high-mileage running habit ultimately took a toll, leading him to rethink everything he thought he knew about fitness and longevity.

    In his new book, Mark makes a compelling case that we humans are actually born to walk, not necessarily run, and that walking is one of the most powerful and most underrated tools we have for improving our health, body composition, and quality of life.

    As usual, this conversation challenges mainstream fitness dogma, and Mark always brings the receipts.

    In this conversation with Mark, you’ll hear:
    • Why effective exercise includes walking, strength training, and sprinting (but not necessarily jogging or running)
    • How “biohacking” is broken
    • Why stem cell treatments might be more dangerous than we thought
    • What longevity really means
    • And much more…

    Pick up Mark’s new book, “Born To Walk” on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

  • Tristan Scott: Hidden Dangers of EMFs and Artificial Blue Light

    Tristan Scott: Hidden Dangers of EMFs and Artificial Blue Light
    Feb 24 2025
    Have you ever had a concussion?

    Anyone who’s ever had their bell rung knows recovery can be brutal.

    But with enough time and the right treatment, our bodies also have the remarkable ability to heal.

    Today we’re going hard in the paint on brain health, electromagnetic fields and decentralization in tech, food and finance with our friend Tristan Scott.

    Tristan is an electrical engineer, health marketing lead at Daylight Computer Company, and author of “Bitcoin and Beef.”

    After suffering from debilitating long-term symptoms following multiple concussions sustained as a college athlete, Tristan made a commitment to healing his brain. This led to a deep dive into the world of alternative health, exploring the critical roles our diet, circadian rhythm and electromagnetic environment play in our health and performance.

    I met Tristan in Austin last year at Squatch while feasting on delicious beef from our friend Johnny, and from our first conversation it’s clear why Tristan has become a rising voice and leader in the world of alternative health and tech.

    Tristan’s expertise in electrical engineering gives him a unique perspective on the often-overlooked impacts of EMFs, and how we can reclaim our health and sovereignty in the face of the technological onslaught of the modern world.

    In this conversation with Tristan Scott, you’ll hear:
    • Easy tips to reduce your exposure to EMFs (from a trained engineer)
    • How Tristan recovered from long-term symptoms following multiple concussions
    • Tristan’s vision for decentralized technology to create a more sovereign future
    • The surprising relationship between bitcoin and beef
    • And more…
