An interesting program about how testing and technology can be used to monitor and enhance health. Biological age is an interesting concept, we all age differently and undoubtedly lifestyle factors can help us age better.
I did the glycan age test (about 7 mins in) and a think this is a good measure to give either leverage to change or confirmation of habits.
The dark side was the guy who was obsessed by tracking everything, I can’t help but feel that there no point living to an old age if you spent a quarter of your working day measuring vitals rather than living your life.
If your interested in taking a test to measure your biological age, let me know.

Sport nutrition is a really interesting field to improve performance whatever your level of competing. Even for a recreational athlete, insuring your properly fuelled before exercise, where as post exercise the right nutrient ms can aid repair, refuelling and recovery.
My favourite breakfast when I go climbing is peanut butter ans banana on whole meal toast, it has good sources of protein, quick and slow release carbs and some fat.
