In this episode of The DNA of Things, Dr. Jeremy Koenig sits down with legendary physician-scientist Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky to explore how exercise, nutrition, and genetics intersect to reshape the aging process. With over 500 peer-reviewed publications and decades of research in neurometabolic disorders, Dr. Tarnopolsky reveals groundbreaking insights into mitochondrial health, protein optimization, gene-environment interplay, and the future of therapeutics for aging and rare diseases.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the science of longevity, athletic performance, or functional health optimization.
Key Takeaways:
* Aging is not a sentence: Discover how cellular function can be reshaped through lifestyle.
* Muscle as medicine: Resistance and endurance training are critical for aging well and combating neuromuscular disorders.
* Protein timing & quality matter: Why whey, casein, and leucine-rich sources outperform trendy supplements.
* Exercise mimetics: Learn about Dr. Tarnopolsky’s breakthrough supplements like Muscle5 and Trim7 that simulate the metabolic effects of exercise.
* From elite athletes to mitochondrial patients: How training principles apply across the human performance spectrum.
* Clinical-grade nutraceuticals: Why randomized, double-blind studies must back health claims—and how his startup is setting the gold standard.
* Genetics vs. epigenetics: Why knowing your genome is just the start—methylation, glycosylation, and environment matter too.
* The future of healthspan: How brown fat, mitochondrial biogenesis, and smart protein dosing are changing the longevity game.
