  2. Great video Sim!! I am trying to get the message out for enhanced athletes to be more healthy as well.

  3. Mr. Land , the amazing thing about your videos, is there no need to ask questions. You are so informative.

    • @Siim Land what about sarms SIM? They were created in the 90s to be a better version of steroids without being a hormone that will spill into the organs of the body like prostate. Heart. Liver kidneys ECT… The sarm stimulate the androgen receptor without spilling over into the organs of the body. They just go into the muscle and bone more AND create a anabolic response without the side effects that steroids cause. But nothing is perfect. They have some sides to them but still are decently safe when taken at normal low doses. I’m trying some sarms now. The main ones that have the most studies behind them like Ostarine. Lgd 4033. And rad 140. I’m doing them for 6 weeks each. I am not getting and sides I see from low doses and I get blood work to check inside of me too. Also I’m getting gains of muscle like 5 to 8 pounds but nothing like if I was to take a steroid. But really 5 to 8 is good enough for me SIM. Because its lean muscle bulk. 🐴🐶

  4. Goo stuff !
    I think you could be talked about high protein, carnivore diet nose to tail and longevity.
    Another great topic is TRT. Almost nobody in the longevity community talks about that.

    • Brian Sanders (Peak Human) and Mary Ruddick recently visited African hunter gatherer tribes which viably have some very old members who are in excellent shape.

  5. It would also be interesting to see the other end of the spectrum. Anorexia impacts millions, I wonder if their low BMI and chronic reduced calorie intake improves telomere length due to more autophagy or if the mental health issues negates this?

    I also wonder if a chronic calorie reduction is best with a higher protein diet for longevity if the protein is from plants? E.g. beans, nuts, tofu, tempeh. Even if trying to maintain weight would 2g per kg be too much on a low carb diet, IF etc.

  6. Siim, props for making a health based video surrounding this subject. In the fitnessindustry, which I am a part of myself, I mainly see a bodybuilding based focus when it comes to nutrition. This is very one dimentional and at times neglects what true health is about. A bodybuilder, even those who are not on steroids, are not nessesarily healthy at all and too much M-Tor and IGF-1 is definately a factor as well as stress from overtraining in many cases. I meet a lot of people who overtrain simply as an escape for emotional pain in life or to burn the extra calories taken in due to their emotional overeating (which I’ve done myself) without ever adressing the root causes. Those are in my opinion best delt with through therapy since so many people are unhappy and wounded deep within. Self medicating through dopaminertic pathways or through building a facade (a defense mechanism) only strengthens the ego (Eckhart Tolle), which tends to be overprotective of the inner wounds (inner child in IFS therapy) anyway. Not a good long term soloution for most people.

  7. What people often forget is that the heart is a muscle too. So when you’re using certain drugs that stimulate muscle growth. The heart wall will thicken and get stiff. Luckily for most drug abusers that dont have genetic weaknesses. This will only show up and cause problems at age 60 or 70. You’ll see alot of heart surgeries then. Not just in bb, but in alot of elite sports where drugs abuse is rampant. Literally a ticking time bomb.

    • @Royaltykidstv lmfao no. Do some learning. None of this stuff with proper educated use is necessarily bad.

    • @Marcus Orillius you do know heart failure doesn’t always show signs of progression right? Heart failure can be immediate. Your chances for this are increased with the use steroids, so you can test “normal” today, but who knows tomorrow…

  8. I used to go where many pro body builders worked out. They routinely discussed steroids, starvation, meth and coke. I saw in them the same thoughts and behaviors that I saw in my female friends with eating disorders
    If we are to live vibrant, long lives, we don’t just need to pay attention to the look of our bodies. We need to question the ideas we are fed by a media fueled by greed.

    • No exercise eating healthy is a must for every human. It’s not about looks but exercise daily is needed for healthy body not a stereotype made by media. You can see the example like Japan where the people eat healthy and they commute every day as form of exercise. Japan one of the country with many older people.

    • Totally agree far too many followers and not enough leaders short fix mentality can only lead to serious issues later on

  9. Half of it is Steroids, half of it is forgetting Cardio. Just because you can deadlift 400+ pounds or have 18 inch arms does not mean you are healthy or will live long. It just means you are big and strong. But a strong heart is 1000% more important than big biceps.

    • Kind of true, but u do realize that body building lessens pressure on arteries by sending more blood to muscles thus resulting in less heart problems. But yes steroids are a problem

  10. I noticed you mentioned specifically high saturated fat diets can cause issues for people with certain biomarkers. Do you have a video that goes into more depth about this topic? I was under the supposition that this specific diet was always beneficial for diseases like alzheimer.

  11. My cousin died in his 30’s from steroid use. Such a beautiful person…until he started using steroids. Very sad.

    • Sad was probably miss use, fake gear or an infection. Of another illicit drug and was blamed on steroids

      98% of steroid users live a full and healthy life. Sorry for your loss though regardless of the official cause of death.

  12. Very informative video, excellent information and phenomenal points were made, provided it does depend on how much synthetic anabolics you are taking and the pacing was a little bit fast at times but overall a really good video keep it up

  13. You did a really good job on this video! Well researched and presented and now you’ve earned a subscriber, Well done!

  14. Remember: Humans didn’t reach the top of the food chain by being as strong as gorillas or fast as cheetahs, but because we’re built to have better stamina than other land animals and developed the ability to use tools and ranged weapons.

  15. My father in law is 104 years old all his life he was skinny, saw several photos of him when he was young you could only see hair and nose not a single muscle at all which makes me believe that the strength of a man is in the organs not in the muscles.

    • @Zain Ahmed “Having no muscle”
      YOu can still have muscle. The example was to isolate variables. Dying at 22 with extreme muscle < dying at 122 lean. The muscle isn't the problem, it's the diet adopted to obtain the extraordinary muscle that kills them along with steroids. Lean muscle on a high fiber diet devoid of steroids doesn't contribute to heart disease. "and going into a calorie deficit" That wasn't advocated. You're exaggerating. " along with being uncomfortably cold" Red herring fallacy... Fat people can say the same about body builders - they are "uncomfortably cold." It's relative to your habitat. Hint: Humans are tropical apes. "does increase longevity significantly." And health expectancy. The ones with longer life spans aren't dropping dead without disease, they just dont' get as many diseases. "But " Here comes the information intolerance... "at the end of the day that isn't how I want to live." You are basing that on a false analogy.

    • @Chris Branciere but it’s true. It is scientifically proven to significantly increase health and life span. The same applies with muscle. I don’t advocate munching steroids. But what do you consider to be “extreme muscle”

  16. For most of you that are scared don’t be, this is directed towards people who use steroids and drugs to force muscle mass growth. If you are all natural, and take care of yourself and I mean absolute care of yourself and take all healthy supplements with a healthy lifestyle do not worry. Arnold is 74 and does what his doctors tell him. Quality over quantity if yk yk

  17. Your right on with your assessment everyword makes sense I see a lot of non steroid men who die 30-50 it’s likely these other reasons other than roids that you mentioned this video is so informative great job and thanks for job well done. I’d like to add to how not to die of a heart attack eating lean ,stop frying foods your body can’t process all the fats it accumulates in arteries.

  18. It’s important for society to make more clear the distinction between bodybuilding and health. I’m a bodybuilder but find it frustrating when unhealthy athletes are presented as role models.
