This week's show brought to you by:

Qualia Senolytic

As a masters runner, I am always on the lookout to prevent (or at least slow down) many of the common performance declines that happen with age.

Qualia Senolytic is designed to selectively target and eliminate damaged or dysfunctional cells in the body, which are called senescent cells.

By removing these cells, senolytics aim to rejuvenate tissues, reduce inflammation, and reverse some aspects of aging.

Early research has shown senolytics can…

Lead to a reduction in systemic inflammation
Improve vascular function by reducing senescent cell burden in the arteries.
Enhance muscle regeneration while also increasing exercise capacity and decreasing recovery time
Lead to significant improvements in joint health

Slumber

There's no denying that sleep is one of the most powerful factors to upgrading your overall health and running performance.

We all know it by now, but sometimes no matter how well-intentioned we are; getting good, quality sleep doesn't come easy.

Sometimes you can't get your mind to relax, other times you toss and turn all night. One way or another, it all leads to poor quality sleep.

That's why we've partnered with Slumber, the leader in science-backed sleep supplements using CBN.

CBN is a hemp-derived melatonin alternative which promotes rest, relaxation, and sleep.

And it works.

In a recent 2024 study, participants who used Slumbers Deep Zzzs CBN Gummies for 30 days reported significant improvements in time to sleep, got 72 minutes of extra deep, and reported waking up 1.5 less times per night on average.

What I love most is that you can mix and match different formulations to specifically address your goals or your own struggles with sleep.
