Observing High and Low Performance in the World Around Us

The subject of physical and cognitive performance is what everyone is talking about right now.  Maybe not overtly, but the headlines grabbing the news are the Olympics in Paris, and President Joe Biden ending his campaign for re-election. The centerpiece of both is about performance. 

Maybe not overtly, but when people watch the Olympics, they're observing athletes at the peak of human physical performance, and noticing how the difference between medaling and not can come down to the smallest differences in this performance. 

The discussion surrounding President Biden's re-election campaign has been largely centered around his cognitive performance.  With former President Trump just three years younger, it was less about the actual age and much more about the physical and cognitive performance.

The bottom line is that there are real-world consequences for maintaining, or not maintaining, high performance.  I've often talked about the four pillars of healthy aging: high performance physical function, high performance cognitive ability, high performance immune function and youthful aesthetics. 

Each plays an important role in not the years we live, but the way we engage with the world. In this episode, I talk about some of the ways that people can maintain high performance and some of the cutting edge science that is starting to be explored to help people do so.  Enjoy the episode!
