What does it actually take to live longer, stay strong, and remain physically capable as you age?

​

In this podcast conversation, two-time French national decathlon champion and NYC personal trainer Alex Folacci sits down with the New York Stem Cells specialist, Dr. Ajit Dhaliwal of Regen Health Physicians to discuss longevity, strength training, cardiovascular fitness, injuries, recovery, regenerative medicine, stem cells, biohacking, diet, inflammation, and what men over 35 should be doing now to protect their healthspan.

Alex explains how going from a world-class decathlete pursuing the Olympics to suffering a career-ending back injury ultimately led him to coaching clients in New York City and developing his own approach to men's health, fitness, and longevity.

​

We discuss:

• The four pillars of Alex's fitness system: strength, cardio, mobility/flexibility, and core training
• Why maintaining strength and cardiovascular capacity becomes increasingly important with age
• VO₂ max, running, muscle mass, sarcopenia, and physical performance
• Why Alex disagrees with some of the hype surrounding Zone 2 cardio
• The difference between training for appearance and training for long-term performance
• Diet, recovery, sleep, inflammation, and lifestyle
• Why biohacking should complement, not replace, exercise and healthy habits
• Injuries, physical therapy, surgery, and regenerative medicine
• Stem cells, exosomes, and emerging regenerative-medicine approaches
• GLP-1 medications, weight loss, and preserving muscle mass
• The longevity mindset Alex uses with successful men over 35
• How to stay strong, mobile, athletic, and independent later in life

Alex Folacci is a two-time national decathlon champion of France with a Master's degree in Exercise Science. After moving to New York, he built a private coaching practice focused on men's health, fitness, performance, and longevity.
