Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“01:36:35 - How increased muscle mass helps achieve lower blood sugar levels – reducing overall mortality – and the potential for suboptimal glycemic control long before doctors identify it. 01:52:28 - Peter's 80% zone 2 / 20% VO2 max training protocol.”
