I have personally lost 4 deeply loved ones in the past two years. This has brought me to a place of questioning my process. What the hell is it all for? Hard training, dietary restrictions, hypothermia, hyperthermia, fasting, and consuming horrible-tasting cocktails containing “phyto-protective” agents…what’s the point? All of this stuff is really hard!
It seems like the most important part of my life is beyond my control. Those are the people (and animals) I have a connection to. It turns out, these connections have a surprisingly strong link to our healthspan in and of themselves. The data on it is quite surprising. I did a live talk on connection and its effect on healthspan and recorded it. Please watch it and let us know any comments or questions you may have.
