About this listen

🎙️ Welcome to TechPod by Biotech Social – where science meets storytelling, powered by AI.

💊 “If exercise were a pill, it would be the best-selling drug in history.”
In this episode, we dive into a brand-new review published in the Journal of Applied Physiology (June 2025; PMID: 40244910 – open access), led by Glenn A. Gaesser and colleagues.

🔬 What you’ll learn:

  • Why exercise and caloric restriction are the two strongest levers to extend our healthspan (not just lifespan).

  • How health can be seen as a portfolio strategy – combining movement, nutrition, and even humor (yes, Monty Python’s “Silly Walks” included).

  • The science-backed ROI: more years of independence, energy, and mental clarity.

At Biotech Social, we’re passionate about translating cutting-edge science into conversations that inspire action. With TechPod, we also leverage AI assistance to distill insights, making research more accessible and engaging.


👉 Tune in, reflect, and ask yourself: What’s in your personal health portfolio right now?
