In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, can you truly build muscle and maintain health with just 15 minutes of exercise twice a week? Dave chats with Ben Bocchicchio, PhD in Exercise Physiology and Health, who makes the case for slow-motion resistance training as the ultimate efficiency hack. Guest explores mitochondrial optimization through high-intensity exercise, addresses middle-age workout mistakes, discusses low-carb nutrition strategies spanning five decades, and challenges conventional fitness wisdom with his revolutionary "safe emergency" training philosophy.🔵 This episode is sponsored by US -- Own Your Labs http://ownyourlabs.com -- private blood testing services.- 🩸Over 300 blood tests- 💰Extremely affordable- ❤️ We love our customers(Yes, we are literally funding the entire podcast from our own company -- so if you want to show your support and keep advertisements limited, keep getting your private blood testing through our service.
