How To Maintain Muscle On A GLP-1, Why Protein Stops Working As You Get Older, The Truth About Eating “Before Bedtime” & More! Solosode #502

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/502

In this solosode, you'll explore how to make peace with tinnitus after acoustic trauma, including the half dozen different root causes that can drive it and the specific supplements and technologies with research behind them, why cardiovascular fitness itself seems to protect your hearing as you age, and whether tattoos are actually as risky as people think, from the heavy metals hiding in colored ink to what a major 2024 study found about tattoos and lymphoma risk.

I also break down a new study showing you can get the same heat shock protein boost from heavy resistance training that you would normally only get from a sauna, why stacking a hard workout with a sauna session afterward may give you the best of both worlds, and take a closer look at a study making headlines for supposedly debunking the whole eating before bedtime rule, because the fine print tells a very different story than the headline does.
