More actually isn't always better when it comes to exercise. High-intensity training has its place - but joint pain, burnout, hormone disruption, and poor recovery are signs of too much stress on the body. And chronic stress works against everything we're trying to build when it comes to longevity. That's why I've been so impressed with @vasper_systems. It combines compression (blood flow restriction), cooling, and interval training to give your body the benefits of an intense workout in about 21 minutes - without pounding your joints. And the research backs it up: Increases anabolic hormones, Lowers cortisol and inflammation, Improves insulin sensitivity, Supports faster recovery. This is exactly how I think about functional medicine and longevity... helping your body get stronger without creating more and more stress.
