Sauna vs Steam?

Hey Peter - I’m listening to your AMA on sleep right now and am wondering if there’s a measurable difference in sauna benefits vs those of a steam shower?

Non-Surgical Methods and Protocols For Lower Backpain

Would you cover a protocol for relieving and fixing lower back pain non-surgically from various causes and sources? I would be interested in learning more about this topic. Lower back pain is widespread, yet there is seldom a commonly used, agreed-upon approach to fixing it. I am currently exploring the Stu McGill method to improve and relieve my chronic lower back pain. I now have a left-side herniation and segmented piece of extruded disc material on L5 S1 and a right-side L4 L5 budge. Both herniations and bulges have contact with associated nerve roots at those levels. Positive short and/or long term outcomes from surgery for these types of injuries are very low and quite poor.

Dr. Steven Gundry

What are your thoughts on Dr. Steven Gundry's approach to longevity? Is there truth behind Dr. Gundry's research on nutrition, which points towards the ideology that foods containing lectins are harmful and should be avoided?

Bryan Johnson and his Anti-Aging protocol

Hello! New member here.... but avid fan and listener. Super excited to finally be a member. I recently stumbled upon Bryan Johnson's project Blueprint: https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.co/ where he describes his entire routine. He talks about a number of bio-markers measuring age, and makes the claim that different organs and body parts are aging at different rates, etc. I was very curious what you thought of the viability of his entire routine, the evidence, the science, the supplements he takes, etc etc. Is this the smoking anti-aging gun everyone has been searching for?
