Most Replayed Moment: The Hidden Organ That Controls Exactly How You Age!

Steven Bartlett (0:00)

I love when a company takes something that everyone has accepted as being fixed and completely redesigns it, which is exactly what Lufthansa, today's sponsor, has done with its Lufthansa Allegris Business Class cabin. It is stunning. Instead of having just one type of seat, Lufthansa Allegris Business Class has five completely different seats, each engineered around a specific need. So there's one built purely around privacy, another with a bed that's over seven feet long, and one designed around having even more space to work, eat, and think. You're essentially getting to choose what your journey needs to be before you even board the plane. And that level of thinking runs throughout the entire Lufthansa Allegris experience. An airline actually asking you, what does this traveler need from their flight? This idea that your seat should fit how you travel, not the other way around, is a surprisingly simple fix to something that the industry has never bothered to solve before. Anyway, it's called Lufthansa Allegris, and if you fly a lot, it's worth looking up. Visit lufthansa.com and search for Allegris to learn more. That's spelled A-L-L-E-G-R-I-S.

Lufthansa Allegris. All it takes is a yes. Limited availability on selected routes, with more routes coming soon.

Are there small parts of your protocol that people can implement? You talked there about not sitting. You said weighted vest.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (1:26)

Yeah.

Steven Bartlett (1:27)

Are there anything else that we can do that might help us build muscle mass without having to go to the gym?

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (1:33)

Yes.

Steven Bartlett (1:34)

What are the key things you think about there?

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (1:35)

If you can take a call walking or rucking, you can load up weight. It is extremely easy to do and you can do it slowly. Whether you start with, you could start with seven pounds.

I have a five-pound weight vest, I have a seven-pound weight vest, 20, and then from there, you can load up weight so you can build up over time.

People should be doing that. It is effective and easy. Everyone can do that. People are taking calls. You don't have to do Zoom call. Why not? Get on the phone, get moving.

Human body will like to sit, as opposed to be forced to move, but you become, it's almost like a rote activity. If you are someone who is sedentary, it becomes easier to become sedentary and stay sedentary. It requires friction to change. You can mitigate some of that friction by incorporating movement into your life. For example, walking with a weighted vest, easy. Training with your kids. People will say, I don't have time. I'm so busy. Pick up your kids after school. We, instead of go and play video games, we do a push up challenge or a dance party in our, have you ever heard of Texas Hold'em?

Steven Bartlett (2:58)

The poker game.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (2:59)

No, the dance. Have you ever seen this? Beyonce made an amazing song called Texas Hold'em.

Steven Bartlett (3:05)

I thought she was talking about poker.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (3:07)

She might be, but there is a line dance associated with that. There are a million fun ways to do something. We just have become accustom to doing less. And we'll dance, we'll do whatever, push ups, physical challenges, playing outside, get the Nerf guns, whatever it is. Easy.

I mean, it couldn't get easier than that.

Steven Bartlett (3:28)

What do you think a good goal is to have? What kind of goal? Because I said this before, but there's a time in my life where my goals were very superficial.

And they were anchored to a date. What are the best kind of goals that we should set ourselves as it relates to our health?

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (3:45)

I don't think we should set goals.

Steven Bartlett (3:46)

No goals.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (3:47)

I think we should set standards.

Steven Bartlett (3:49)

Okay.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (3:50)

When you set a goal, you can either reach that goal or not. But if you set a standard, then you will always keep your standard. And that standard will allow you to reach a goal. But the standard won't change. For example, the standard is, you wake up and you set whatever that is you train every day. For me, I train three days a week, depending on how intense that training was. On Saturday, I might do a fourth day of training. And on Sunday, I forgot to tell you this, we do a group workout. My standard is physical activity has defined moments. And that is my standard, even if I'm traveling. I know exactly what that's gonna be before I get to the hotel.
