    Get CardioCoach: https://korr.com/products/vo2-max-testing-system/

    In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber dive deep into the science of longevity—what it means, why healthspan matters more than just living longer, and how metrics like VO₂ max and muscular power can help predict and improve your quality of life as you age.

    They explore the difference between lifespan and healthspan, debunk common longevity "hacks," and make the case for habits over shortcuts. Using clear visuals (including the now-famous "squared curve" concept), practical examples, and even the inspiring story of Grandma Betty, they lay out the true foundation of healthy aging: strength training, cardiovascular fitness, sleep, nutrition, and meaningful connection.

    Whether you're a health practitioner, fitness enthusiast, or simply want to age with vitality, this episode offers an evidence-based, empowering guide to increasing both your years—and the life in those years.

    Ep. 10 - BMI: Misunderstood, Misused, and Still Useful?
    2025/07/09

    In this episode of Metabolic Mastery from KORR Medical Technologies, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber dig deep into BMI—Body Mass Index. Often misunderstood and misapplied, BMI remains a widely used health metric. But does it still deserve a place in modern fitness and medicine? The doctors unpack the science behind BMI, its historical roots, and its usefulness (or lack thereof) when applied to individuals. They explore the J-shaped mortality curve, risk stratification, the limits of BMI in assessing fitness and fatness, and better alternatives like VO₂ max testing and body composition analysis. Whether you're an athlete, clinician, or simply health-conscious, this episode offers practical insights into how to better understand your health metrics and build a sustainable approach to longevity and performance.

    💪 Topics include:

    • Why BMI fails to measure fitness and fatness

    • The true “sweet spot” for longevity

    • Fat but fit vs. skinny fat: What’s riskier?

    • Muscle quality, metabolic flexibility, and sustainable training

    • VO₂ max testing and how it helps optimize your healthspan

    Ep. 9 - Load vs. Capacity: The Key to Injury-Free Training and Long-Term Performance
    2025/07/02

    In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber dive deep into one of the most crucial, and misunderstood,principles in fitness: Load vs. Capacity. Discover how managing total load (training, stress, sleep, nutrition, life events) relative to your body’s capacity is the key to avoiding injury, preventing burnout, and optimizing long-term performance. Learn why VO2 max testing and heart rate zones are essential for precise training, how to balance high-intensity and low-intensity workouts (including the 80/20 rule), and how to run personal “lifestyle audits” to overcome plateaus. Whether you're a beginner, seasoned athlete, or coach, this episode offers science-backed, actionable insights to help you train smarter, stay consistent, and keep progressing for years to come.
