This talk was super informative and helpful. It's so frustrating when some people keep forcing their idea of a silver bullet on others when it comes to health and nutrition. We're all different in all other aspects of life, so it just makes sense that we're different in what works or doesn't work for us in terms of diet and exercise, too.
Interesting points about longevity. Andy Galpin says around min 33:00 someone with strong legs and high VO2 max and overweight is likely to outlive a skinny unfit person . What happens though, if the overweight person is losing his fitness, which takes only 6 weeks of inactivity? It takes years for someone to lose fat ( not water weight like during diets)
It might take 6 weeks to lose fitness but that person can get it back quickly since his system knows how to do it already unlike the skinny unfit person. If you do something long enough and have a break, you’ll get the hang of it again within 3 weeks of easing your way back.
@@coolvids841 The truth is pretty simple, just eat well, exercise, get regular sleep, cut out most alcohol, etc etc etc. Don't need long books or talks to know that, but hey, he has to sell stuff.
@@1122redbird it is pretty simple to say in the surface. Its completely different when you go in depth. You won’t be doing lactate threshold training to improve your fitness when you have crap genetics so therefore you have low VO2 max from the get go yeh? When you say eat well, get sleep yada yada yada its very subjective to an individual.
@@PhiyackYuh Yes, that's true. It's subjective when you get down to the details, of course. But look around society and see the obesity epidemic. Take an interstate highway drive and look at the so called "food" offerings at rest stops. I work at a college and see obese 19 year olds who instead of taking the steps up 2 flights will take the elevator, with a large soda in hand. It's pathetic. What I am saying is that if people just focused on basics - get more sleep, lay down the phone, MOVE more, eat real food over processed garbage, get healthy social interaction - we'd fix 80-90% of all health problems. Sure, you can get down to detailed science on what diet is best for each person, what exercise plan works best for each person, etc all based on genetics. But low hanging fruit so to speak is what I mean. I listened to this guy on the Huberman podcast recently too, and while interesting and full of "studies" cited, the only thing I really took away from it is "it depends". That's not helpful to most.

I'd say residual cardio lasts longer, and can be retrained to a decent enough level quite quickly.

Excellent talk. Thank you Dr. Andy Galpin and Eric Ruiz for such an informative discussion.
Dr. Galpin in the house!! He is a fountain of knowledge.

I had high expectations from this talk. None met. To summarise : diet and nutrition is subjective and there is no size that fits all. Rest, go figure.
God forbid someone actually tells the truth rather than bullshit you into thinking you should be doing what Athlete/Person A does.
