Brain Fact Friday on ”Using Neuroscience to Improve Fitness, Longevity and Overall Health.”

<p>It’s one of the Top 5 health staples that we’ve covered often on this podcast, but Dr. Peter Attia<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a>, Canadian-American physician, known for his medical practice that focuses on the science of longevity, says that “exercise might be the most potent “drug” we have for extending the quality and perhaps quantity of our years of life.”</p> <p>On this episode we will cover:</p> <p>✔  What the current research says for improving fitness, longevity and overall health.</p> <p>✔ Look at the workouts from Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Andrew Huberman, who dive deep into this topic on their recent podcast episodes.</p> <p>✔ Compare their workouts to mine, and look for gaps using the most current research to see if we can all improve our workout routines with longevity in mind.</p> <p>✔ Use Attia's Rule in this process.</p> <p>Welcome back to <em>The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast</em> where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I’m Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. Like you, I’m interested in learning and applying the research, to our everyday life.</p> <p>On today’s episode, I want to share the research I saw recently to improve fitness, longevity and overall health, with Dr. Peter Attia’s work who was recently featured on Dr. Andrew Huberman’s podcast. Dr. Attia, has a fascinating origin story, as he started his career as a cardiac surgeon, and then found he had a heart condition, so he began to dive into the research to see how he could improve the quality of his own life. On today’s episode #252, and this week’s Brain Fact Friday, we will take Dr. Attia’s advice, look at what he does himself, and what he recommends for others he trains, compare it to how others, like Dr. Hub
