Dr. Gil Blander - Understanding Your Body from the Inside-Out

Author: Pete McCall & Glassbox Media August 27, 2021 Duration: 51:28
When you strength train, you know exactly how much weight you are lifting. When you go for a run, you know exactly how far you travel. You use a thermostat to measure your temperature. A heart-rate monitor allows you to quantify how hard you are working when you exercise. Data lets us know exactly how our body is performing, but are you collecting the best data to ensure that your lifestyle habits are the right ones for your body's specific needs? InsideTracker is a company that tests specific biomarkers in your blood to provide you with data about how your healthy lifestyle is affecting your body. The company’s proprietary system is used by elite athletes to ensure that they are achieving the highest level of performance possible for their respective sports. You too can use the test to access to the same information on the best nutrition, exercise and lifestyle interventions for your body's needs. Dr. Gil Blander researches the biology of aging and, more importantly, applies his discoveries into new ways of detecting and preventing age-related conditions. He received a PhD in biology from the Weizmann Institute of Science and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at MIT; alongside top scientists in the fields of aging, genetics, and biometrics, Dr. Blander helped create InsideTracker in 2009 to provide the resources to understand the human body from the inside-out. On this episode of All About Fitness, we'll learn all about the benefits of quantifying your body's health with Dr. Gil Blander, the Chief Science Officer for InsideTracker.
