How to manage the inevitably of aging)
Would you be willing to offer an episode that offers more info that normalizes how age is a natural part of being human? I think that there are many elders in your growing audience who would be psyched to hear more about how to manage expectations when navigating this inevitable stage of life. I do realize that a-lot of the decline that many older people experience may be avoidable __ especially if we had all been informed and fortunate enough to be capable of following the many wonderfully healthy protocols that you’ve shared with us here. While acknowledging the great, proactive ways that you’ve taught us here __ I can’t help but to wonder about the natural changes that are part of becoming older? I would love to know more about what’s happening to me as I age _ inside and out! My guess is that there are many of us who would appreciate learning more about how to navigate our overall human health as we age. Isn’t it inevitable that the mind and body changes as we get older? Can you help us to understand what to expect involving age related ‘decline’? Could you please offer education that helps to normalize what’s the unavoidable progression toward age, and how we may ot may-not need to modify expectations involving performance, and capacity. Can you explore this with us? Thanks so much for your consideration.

Sleep for Teenagers
Some high schools are now starting later in the morning (8:30am start versus a 7:30am start). This is in response to a common belief that teenagers can't wake up early (or go to bed early). Do you believe the science supports this as good practice? Should schools be looking at this? Are there alternatives?
Zone 2 training
Hi! I have recently started doing more Zone 2 cardio thanks to you and Dr. Peter Attia. I would like to know the shortest duration you can do to still reap the mitochondrial benefits. So, if you only have 30 min, is that enough? On days I have more time, I sometimes like to do a combination of activities eg. elliptical plus bike. If your heart rate drops and you go into zone 1 briefly during the transition, do you lose the benefit of doing zone 2 for a longer duration eg. 30 min elliptical plus 45 min bike but drop in between for 2-5 minutes. Finally, I know it is better to do Zone 2 before Zone 5 (I sometimes add 20 min HIIT after an endurance session). But what about weight training? Is it better to do before or after the cardio? Of note, I usually do my exercise fasted (to get to my eating window for TRF) but that means I'm not consuming protein until sometimes >3 hrs after the start of my activity. Thoughts?
Good news/Bad news with the Sleep cocktail
The good news is it helps me with the issue I have of transitioning from consciousness to sleep state. I fall asleep within the hour. Falling asleep has been impossible since I kicked a 15 yr Valium dependency. The bad news is it only works for 3 hrs max. So I wake up at 3 a.m and can't get back to sleep. Can I take another dose of the sleep cocktail? Any suggestions to get me sleeping again?
