This episode highlights the critical role of recovery in longevity, showing how strategic rest boosts resilience, health, and long-term performance.
Key Points:
Recovery is essential: daily and long-term rest are vital for slowing ageing but often overlooked
Micro vs macro-recovery: small daily breaks and longer rest periods both support body and brain health
Sleep and rhythm: quality sleep and aligned circadian rhythms are foundational for recovery and repair
Personal rituals: consistent recovery habits, like wind-down routines, can have a powerful cumulative effect.
