This was a fascinating discussion with Dr. Tyler Cooper, CEO of the pioneering Cooper Clinic. Founded in 1970 by Dr. Cooper's father, it was the nation's first preventive medicine clinic - at a time when exercise was thought to actually be dangerous and no one went to the doctor when they were healthy! Dr. Cooper takes us through how his father, known for literally writing the book on aerobics, embarked on a radical mission to prove exercise boosts health. Defying critics, he invented the concept of measuring cardio fitness and used treadmill stress tests to gather data (almost losing his medical license in the process!) Over decades, the Cooper Clinic's research revealed exercise to be "the closest thing to a miracle drug" - with just 30 minutes of walking 5x a week shown to extend lifespan by 6 years. Today, they continue exploring the limits of vitality and longevity, while advocating that we all have far more control over quality and quantity of life than commonly believed. Tune in to understand how the fitness revolution began and leverage insights from the world's top preventative health pioneer!
