Dr. Attia recently told Huberman

"VO2 Max is the best predictor of how long you live—more so than whether you smoke cigarettes, have heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease"

It is the key to living well

Strangely, you just have to reach "below average" to change your fate:🧵 Image

VO2 Max is the 'max' amount of oxygen a person can use during intense exercise.

It reflects how well your heart can pump oxygen-rich blood to your muscles and how efficiently your muscles can use it—making it a crucial predictor of your overall lifespan.

Researchers recently completed the largest study on metabolism ever.

It contains a discovery that changes EVERYTHING we know about your metabolism.

Hint: Aging is NOT the reason you’ve put on weight since your 20s.

Here's the truth, and how you must use this info:
🧵 Image We've all heard it or said it:

“My metabolism isn’t what it was in my 20s. Back then, I could eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight"

It implies that time slows our metabolism, and that our excess weight is a natural result of aging.

Harsh truth: This is patently false.

//WANT OR WISH? DECIDE ONCE AND FOR ALL

I once heard a story about a high school basketball team.

They were missing a lot of shots during their practice sessions, so the coach lined everyone up.

“When the year started, who said they wanted to be a better shooter this season?” All the players put their hands up.

“Put your hands down if you left straight after yesterday’s failed practice”

All the hands went down, except two.

The evidence was there, clear as day. Only two players wanted to be better at shooting.

The others simply wished to be better.
