Cómo Optimizar tu Longevidad para vivir 120 años (Dr. La Rosa) #LFDE
Summary
In this episode, Uri Sabat interviews Dr. Sebastián La Rosa, a global longevity expert, to discuss evidence-based strategies for extending healthy lifespan. They cover the importance of closing the gap between lifespan and healthspan, highlighting that small lifestyle changes yield significant mortality risk reductions. Key topics include the necessity of two 30-minute strength sessions weekly, the critical role of VO2 max testing via the Cooper test, and the benefits of the Nordic HIIT protocol.
