Signed up! Wonderfully in depth pdf!
Thank you so much for all of this ! I have signed up and and I'm excited about the challenge !
Release the August podcast please! Three hours of brilliant conversation can’t be hidden away like that. 😊
We are working on something here! Maybe people should like your comment if they want this convo to be released
@@TheProofWithSimonHill Please release Aug pod, I learn the most from long deep dives, some people need a layman’s summary but everyone is different, some feed off the details…i just rewind & review til comprehension, no worry for breaking them into pieces or re-hashing, thanks for another brilliant, meticulous & life changing episode Simon & rich!
Release it!
@@TheProofWithSimonHill What we love about your podcasts Simon is that they DO go in depth. Listening to three hour long podcasts is not unusual, your content is always amazing.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill I’m here for the deep dives 🤿
While the multi-million healthcare system gives us no good solutions, committed individuals like you give us this incredibly informed program for free! Thank you so much, Rich and Simon!!!!
I love the slower energy of this podcast. I can get overwhelmed when people talk super fast. You guys are calm and so informative. Can’t wait to do this challenge ❤
Face your fears. Try new and different things. Get out of your comfort zone. Take on challenges. That's the only way to build self-knowledge, self-trust, and confidence. Otherwise, there's a risk that you'll spend your whole life on auto-pilot, never reaching your full, amazing potential, and living a life that you didn't really choose. That's the battle we all must fight as adults - if we want to live freely, consciously, meaningfully and authentically
Yet another insightful episode! 🌟 Here's a sneak peek at 5 of our 14 key takeaways:
1. Understanding Cardiovascular Health: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, and apo B has emerged as a crucial biomarker, providing a clearer picture of atherogenic lipoproteins in the blood than LDL cholesterol alone. This insight is significant because it shifts the focus from traditional cholesterol markers to a more comprehensive one that could better predict cardiovascular events.
2. The Importance of Blood Pressure: Blood pressure, particularly systolic blood pressure, is a top risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The insight that a 20 mmHg rise above 120 doubles the risk of vascular diseases underscores the need for regular monitoring, which is more predictive at home due to factors like the white coat effect.
3. VO2 Max as a Health Indicator: VO2 max, a measure of cardiovascular fitness, is another key biomarker. It's indicative of the body's ability to utilize oxygen during exercise and is a predictor of overall health and longevity. This insight emphasizes the importance of aerobic fitness in health assessments.
4. Metabolic Health Crisis: The statistics on metabolic health are alarming, with less than 7% of adults being metabolically healthy. This insight highlights the urgent need for interventions that can improve metabolic health markers, such as blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.
12. Personal Fat Threshold and Metabolic Dysfunction: Hill explains the concept of a personal fat threshold, which varies among individuals and determines where fat is stored in the body. Exceeding this threshold leads to fat accumulation in harmful locations, such as the liver and pancreas, contributing to metabolic diseases.

The next social media clip should be the part about regret at the end of life.
So many people live in a waiting or “planning” stage and never follow through or take a chance on something they’d love or simply would like to do.
Loved this whole conversation and I’ll be joining the Challenge!
An important part of the challenge!
That's a great idea - we will look into this!
For about the past six or seven years, I've been actively making most of my decisions based on the answer to the question, "which of these will I most likely regret not doing when I'm actually about to die?" This just came to me at a point of high career stress that created a few points of insight when I found myself annoyed about having to stop fretting over a work issue to spend quality time with family I don't see regularly. It was like an internal slap in the face, but I'm sure glad my still, small voice is, evidently, carrying a big stick because it has helped me reset my barometer in an imperfect world and a finite lifetime.
Really enjoy listening to Simon, all the times he's been on your podcast have been great. One little thing I would like to mention though, is that 120/80 is not IDEAL blood pressure. It is the cut-off at the higher end for having good BP marker. The lower, the better, if no symptoms of fatigue are present.
It's impressive Rich that you are so consistent with your podcasts. I was not expecting one on New Year's Day. Happy New Year, health, happiness, and prosperity to you and your team!
Thank you so much! Simon is awesome! He is so thorough and scientific! It’s evident that he goes above and beyond with research. I will definitely download this protocol.
Thanks again for caring and helping people regain and maintain their health.
Rich and Simon are the best! ❤
Thanks for the kind words! Grateful for Rich using his platform to launch the challenge
A wonderful listen from two talented gentlemen who are very easy on the eye for us female subscribers 😉. I downloaded a free recipe guide off Simon's website recently and made the marinated tempeh. Delicious 😋. I had it for lunch yesterday and will have the other half today.
This is incredible! I have been tested for LP(a) and my level is 85.I'm 82 years old and have had 3 mild strokes and am currently on a blood thinner and statin. Have not had a Lipid level checked yet since going on statin. Cardiologists currently have their hands tied or don't have any idea what else to do. I know that there are studies currently to develop a method and/or drugs that will attempt to lower LPa. I'm on a plant based diet with trying to reduce and close to eliminating saturated fats from my diet. This program comes at an opportune time. At least I feel someone is finally paying close attention to the LPa problem aside from researchers.
Try 3g of L-lysine and 3g of Vitamin C per day. Read the paper below. Hope this helps!

PCSK9 inhibitors, I believe, can drop Lp(a) by up to 30%. Given you had previous cardiovascular events, it may be a covered drug. (However, the relationship between Lp(a) levels, PCSK9 inhibition, and cardiovascular risk reduction still needs to be confirmed. I believe the drugs are only presently covered for more conventional blood lipid lowering. PCSK9 inhibitors are presently an expensive drug.)
Making this free is incredible. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Made possible with our partner Inside Tracker and others
Great timing, Rich. Thank you, looking forward to what's in store for 2024 and the RRP!
Thank you for giving this episode in the first day of the year! Two amazing people, and my two favorite podcasts! Very exited for this new challenge! Thank you for doing this zero cost ❤!
Wishing everyone an amazing 2024😊
Definitely the best way to start the year!
Ah, Rich, I knew there was a reason I liked you! We share that problem of not being able to sleep if we have not eaten just before bedtime. I have managed this better by going very high carb and very low fat and making sure I eat a good amount of calories at dinner, 2-3 hrs before I expect to go to sleep. If I do exercise hard enough during the day, I may not feel sleepy for hours after bedtime. When I expect to sleep at 2 am (I have delayed sleep phase disorder and cannot shift my sleep during the winter when there is not enough sun) and find that I am still awake at 6 am, I am going to drink a cup of decaf black tea and a potato before I finally can sleep. My CGM showed that with a sharp spike that did not come down for quite some time so very bad.
Thanks Simon, really enjoy your podcast, book and calm mindset, great challenge.
Look forward to you getting involved in the challenge!
1 hour in and this is incredible. thank you. Wow Simon, what you have put together is just brilliant. Next level.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy the challenge!
Well done on this podcast. I really enjoyed it. The structure and simplicity was bang on. The intent of the 12 week challenge is very admirable. See you on the challenge!
See you there!
This has absolutely lit a fire in me as a (wellness-obsessed fitness enthusiast) healthcare provider in the ICU who craves objective information summarized in a way that is actually applicable. Absolutely brilliant. I have long followed both Rich Roll and Simon Hill and was stoked to see them together in a podcast. Little did I know that the information would be valuable beyond belief.
Great to hear!
Woke up to a new RR pod let's go 2024!
Please release the August session - would love to hear it!!
lots of energy around us releasing that episode -- will consider it!
@@richroll we're all for it :)
@richroll Yes please! Release August! 😊
I’m excited to give this program a try. Great timing to release this on Jan 1.
Love this and definitely going to do the challenge. Thanks very much to you both.
Knowledge is power. My favourite quote today, Rich just runs. Thankyou to Simon and Rich for this New Year challenge.
great conversation Rich & Simon ! Thank you! 🌱
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
From Chile happy new year!
Thank you very much Simon and Rich for what you are doing. Such a incredible source of information.
Btw. I'm really happy that I'm opposite to Rich about eating late - I can easily stop eating at 3pm and be fine till next day. Good luck all with challenge!
Way to start the year guys! Keep it up and thanks so much for the info. This is exactly where I am right now.
Thank you 🎉 Happy new year!
I love this!! It spoke to my spirit!! Let's get it done!!!
Always an amazing deep but purposeful dive with Simon and Rich! A TON of work and research into this 12 week program was completed. So amazing, Simon.
Thank you for presenting and creating this challenge! I am in PT right now so it will be a while before I can incorporate everything, but my goal is to do everything in this program by the end of the year and bring my husband along for the ride. Fantastic episode. ❤
Happy New Year Rich Roll. May you have a wonderful year and continue to bring us wonderful podcasts as long as you enjoy doing so. ❤
Thank you!
So gonna do it 😊 Seems absolutely huge and great for where I'm right now with my life and health journey. All my gratitude to you.
Love this and what good timing. Can't wait to start!!
Can’t wait to have you on board!
Great stuff..grateful
Love it, this podcast is my second one for the year, but its the one that is gonna make me go harder...
I am so excited about this opportunity. I love both of your shows you are inspiring! Thank you!
No, not debateable Rich...you are def. contributing big time to others. I love your podcasts and have been helped by them. As have many I bet. This one is a goodie...but most of them are.
Well, that's for sure debatable but if you believe in a vegan diet then yes, i don't though
This was an amazing interview. I shared it on my Facebook page 💜
Fantastic guest and video! ❤
Rich, you are truly a delight!
Rich, I am with you on that agitation feeling and lack of relaxation if heading to bed hungry. Fitful night of sleep. frustrating. hoping the challenge's exercise program/regularity can help. thx to you and simon for the challenge.
I just subscribed to The Proof, based soley on your recommendation. 👌
Welcome!
Simply the best! The Two of you are such givers! Amazing Guys !
Thanks Simon for creating 🎉
You’re most welcome!
fantastic! thank you both!
I’ve missed your channel Rich!! Thank you!
Welcome back!
I haven't watched it so far, but I'm pretty sure this podcast is pure gold.
Hope you enjoy it
Great podcast, Rich!
1:51:13 - me too, Rich Roll!! I try REALLY hard to not eat anything after 6pm, but if my stomach feels empty, it makes me feel agitated. I am going to continue to strive to not eat after 6, perhaps drinking herbal tea and water - but it's rough sometimes.
THE EASY WAY --
--- to not eat between meals...
You can do what THOUSANDS of people do but few speak of openly. I don't know why though..
Do they think its cheating and doing it "THE EASY WAY" and therefore NOT want to admit it? .. I wonder...
Well, it IS the EASY way.
Drinking herbal tea at night, then putting on a light weight, WIDE elastic belt,
--over the upper stomach area, the lower ribs..
Some wear the WIDE neoprene WAIST WRAPS on upper AND lower ABS..
(Not to tight, just lightly wrapped enough.)
What this does is it provides LIGHT PRESSURE activating the FULLNESS RECEPTORS in the stomach and intestine creating the feeling like after you have eaten a LARGE meal...
Many of us studied it in college science classes.
The body then releases grelin or leptin signaling to stop hunger for a few more hours.
( sorry, I need to look up which one creates hunger and which one creates fullness. .. I get ghrelin and leptin mixed up.. But you get the idea.)
Some also take 1 TBsp of psylium husk in 1 cup of water.. Stir and drink quickly.. (Orange flavored metamusil)
--- Makes you feel full. ---
Be sure to also get enough MAGNESIUM so you don't get constipated.
200 - 500 mg MAGNESIUM per day.
Ok. So there you have it..
What thousands of people do..
But few people talk about it openly.
(Women whisper their secrets in the women's bathrooms. The women with the beautiful abs.. We know.. Its our secret... )
--- It makes it TOO EASY.
Props for getting Simon on, he should have way more subs!
Thanks so much for this one, Rich.
credit goes to Simon!
Love Simon ❤ thanks!!!!
Rich Roll pod is 💪🏽 awesome!!!!
Thank you!
Excellent framework thank you
You’re welcome
Thank you ❤
Brevity is the strong suit of neither of you! Going to the website and hoping for an at-a-glance sheet! Would also LOVE a 10min program advert from you guys so I can share that! ❤
Another Incredible Podcast!
Thank you very much!
You are helping many people through your Podcasts. Good Luck in 2024.
Thanks for taking all your expertise and sharing with us in such a nice concise way the plan of action. However the second thing I notice, you cannot say it’s free or accessible to everyone to measure the truths. It will cost someone at least £400 for the baseline measurements and double that actually as one needs to perform it after the 12 week intervention. Grip strength dexas…non routine bloods, the beep test being just for people that can do high impact… etc.
Love this and I'm ready to do the challenge. I follow Simon's podcast pretty closely and I had already been thinking about checking a number of biomarkers (and even considering a dexascan). I really appreciate how you are bringing this all together. I plan to also test my Omega-3 Index at the same time. One question I have is whether there will be some sort of forum where those of us who are working through the challenge week by week starting Feb 1 will be able to chat/connect/compare etc. I am a member of a few active WFPBSOS FB groups of folks who follow a few of the docs out there and have found having the community conversation *really* helpful, but I've never found anything analogous for fans of Simon's work. I could see how it would be particularly of interest during the challenge. Any chance such a thing could be stood up? (Or maybe I should try to make my own unofficial group and see if people show up?)
please, NOT, facebook
@@prbr7095 totally understand that reaction (and had I not found the community there that I have I'd be gone from FB). What would you suggest as an alternative?
I appreciate the simplicity of the approach and dialogue which is not easy, these are very complex topics. The supplement guide for example is intentionally simplified but still a bit deep for me. However, Simon gives the ultra simplicity of - here is what he does. They avoid getting into the latest and greatest experimental drugs which I find to be a distraction in many discussions. Well done, let’s go.
Glad you enjoyed it Joseph
Hear hear, let’s go!
Another epic podcast .
eating too close to bedtime can be an emotional need. one way to test this, is to eat *very basic food* to appease hunger but not the emotional void... we are spoilt people and often treat ourselves to delicacies to tell ourselves that we are special...
When he said everybody thins their a good person... 😢 I wished I felt that way
This was great, have my bloodwork ready to go 🔥
SAGACIOUS - good judgment; shrewd.
"they were sagacious enough to avoid any outright confrontation"
Great word!
They used to make us do pace test in gym class.
Maybe put out that three hour deep dive as a bonus episode, a tangent to this episode, if you will. I’d love to listen and go deep into the rabbit hole.
Exicted for the 12 weeks to come!
will consider -- main thing with that episode is that we tried to cover way too many topics and therefore not enough depth or nuance on any individual topic. That said, we may still release it.
@@richroll true. I sometimes use conversations like that as starting points for my own research though.
@@richrollHey Rich, what about having Simon adding a few bits here and there to provide more nuance to the topic (if course needed)? This could mitigate your concern, and the audience can easily skip those added parts through the chapters.
As a 65+ year old post menopausal woman in the US, I've been getting dexas since my early 50s and they've been covered by insurance every time. . But if your doc orders it, it's worth asking your insurance if they'll cover it.
Great podcast Rich & Simon!
I've been vegetarian for 4 years and plant exclusive for the last 2 years. I changed my diet to benefit my health but, I have never had any tests done to see if my dietary choices are having the impact i intend them to. I'd love to do this challenge but after looking online there are few companies in the UK testing for some of the data required to complete the calc. Can anyone recommend a company that does suitable blood testing in the UK that will give me data for ApoB, Trigylcerides, HbA1c, Fasting blood glucose & Lp(a). Numan is the only one I can find but only does 2 of the above 5. I know the Lp(a) is more difficult to get from these testing companies so I may have to contact my GP to see if this is possible.
All help appreciated,
Thanks :)
This is amazing!! I've been hoping someone would put together a system like this. This cuts through SO much clutter. Are there any plans to provide any type of in-depth analysis of lab/blood work? Perhaps an AI-based system?
I am doing the 12 weeks..
Emotional assessment question "are you a good person" and Rich responded, "everyone thinks they are a good person." I strongly disagree. Most people have underlying beliefs contrary to this which is a big issue and significant contributor to the state of our well-being.
So good. I’m up for this. I’m curious to know what age group this appeals to and whether men or women are more likely to be motivated. I don’t know any women in their 60s like me that are interested or believe in the possibilities.
I'm doing it and involved in a few different forums. Wide range of ages and both men and women are represented. Definitely seeing women in their 60's (I'm close myself)
First question is what if you cannot run see people with OA or who are not recommended high impact ? How do you do the shuttle test on a bike? Do you have an adaptation for that in the 12 week programme?
I would like to know where Simon learned that if your Ap(a) is over 30 you need to titrate ApO (b) below 50. I do not recall hearing this on the Thomas Dayspring podcasts or the other great titrater Peter Attia. I understood that APOb was the sum total to ALL atherosclerotic lipids and therefore around 5O you were in the clear. Even as a vegan I could not get under 50 with an AP (a) of 33. Incidentally. On a plant based diet and also a pescatarian diet I dropped my Lp (a) from 80 to 33. This had been tested and retested. I know its an anomaly but it is what it is.
Inside tracker is not available in Australia... what do we aussies use?
This challenge seems more geared towards the US market with US sponsors and US companies recommended for tests eg getting a dexa scan. I don’t think it was actually stated or it wasn’t very clear if all the statistics regarding poor metabolic health for example were adults in the US or Australia. I also don’t think it is going to be very easy to get all the tests required for this challenge.
most general practitioner doctors can administer the blood test - just be sure to request that Apo(b) be added to the markers tested
Can I still sign up for the 12 week program
or is it too late?
Maybe I'm joining... Curious how it will work with poor-sleeping and picky-eating kids 😊
Can I still sign up for the 12 week protocol or is it too late now ( Fe, 21st 2024)
Audio equipment looks professional but still some problem with the sound. Hard for my ears to listen to
Happy new year RR . Not a happy one for the billions of animals in factory farms . Thank you to your guest .
Rich Roll, king of mixed metaphors
King of articulation!
Simon won the vocabulary challenge in this episode
well said 🎉 0:14
I'd like to get my Vo2 Max but I'm 65 and had a hip replacement 2 years ago. I exercise daily and do med intensity, aerobic, weight resistance and yoga. My tracker says I avg 1400 minutes weekly. I eat a healthy diet (per Simon's podcasts) and my BMI is 20.07. I don't want to do the beep test and risk injury....any other way to do this at home?
Enjoyed this! How is vo2 max tested for someone who can't run? Is there a cycle or swim test?
yes you can certainly do it on a bike - best is to do a proper lactate test in a lab but short of that there are plenty of ways to test on a bike -- many online resources to guide you.
Time is a priority, and how is that time used to measure what you do! Is it helpful to tell people how to use time effectively?
Incredibly sophisticated and nuanced; akin to a book that was sophisticated and nuanced. "Better Sleep Better Life" by William Brook
Okay, this may be a silly question, I am all in for doing this 12 week challenge. I am an almost 55 year old obese female... Would this be good for me. I am struggling with the thought of the Vo2 Max test. I mean, I know I am super out of shape. I am going to ask my doctor for the blood tests, but I am really curious about the benefits of the Vo2 test. Anyone have anything thoughts on this?
I am with you! I am a 57 year old post menopausal woman and overweight. I also have cardiomyopathy so am more limited in what exercise I can do. I will definitely get the testing done as per the protocol but am concerned about the beep test and exercise components. Would love Simon's take on this. Am definitely in for the challenge though!
@@bekind1966 I have some mild heart issues as well... i am lucky that I have a dexiscan place pretty close. The price was less that I thought it was, and I am considering it and investment in my health.
Vo2 max is kinda mandatory I suppose too + it would give you a great starting point. And from there on you would get only better and better :)
Yes! Do it! These are actionable things that you can change to improve your health. The Vo2 Max test is something that you can track over time and do things to improve it and therefore improve your health.
You just start from where you are now. Test where you are now. Then intervene with some gentle walking or whatever it is you can do on a regular basis. Then retest in 12 weeks
@richroll try getting in the habit of brushing your teeth 2 hours before bed so you stop eating before sleep :)
Thank you both! I have a lot to get done by Feb 1st to join the challenge.
🤔Sure thought the pace of the podcast was slow🥱 but stayed for the most part for the valuable info
Well done Simon! This is how Huberman should have been. Truly nuanced and careful.
How reliable I wonder is the V0@ max measurement provide on a garmin watch? Much easier than a beep test!
not super reliable
2024👍🚴♂️🏃♀️🏋️♂️👍🇺🇸
Getting a blood pressure cuff, for anyone suffering from health anxiety, is a seriously bad idea. In fact, seeking out additional screening is probably not the best idea either, although I’d be curious!
Just a comment on DexaFit cost which was briefly mentioned in the interview. I just booked my appt, and for under $400 total, it includes 2 body comp & bone density scans, 1 vo2 max test, and 1 RMR. Fasting is required for the RMR, FYI. If getting just a dexascan, it's $120. These prices are based out of Northern California (Sacramento).
Wondering if I should avail myself of their other services like biomarker tests or save that for inside tracker?
My understanding is DEXA Fit don’t test ApoB (currently). Inside Tracker do or you can request from your doctor directly.
Dexa scan is $89 in AZ
Love this podcast for years now. i'm surprised that Rich let Simon recommend faty fish considering Rich is the advocate for a vegan diet. I'm no vegan so i don't mind.. I'm just really curious what's behind that.
Both Simon and I are 100% plant-based and have been for years. The idea with the challenge is to create a welcome mat for anybody and everybody irrespective of their dietary preferences. Meanwhile, other comments here criticising us for this being to plant-based slanted:)
Thank you for your response. This way you'll never be able to do it right. No matter what position you take there are always haters. It takes balls to make these choises. Knowing that the vegan community is a 'passionate' one. Much respect to you Rich! If there is one person in the world who inspires me to go (more) plant-based, it is you. Thank you for who you are and what you do.❤@@richroll
Just sharing the evidence. For most people eating fish is a step in the right direction. Although, fish is not necessary/essential. Were wanting the challenge to be as accessible as possible to people - and we don’t want to let perfection get in the way of progress
Surprised to hear no talk of fasting insulin. Interesting 🤔
The assay is fairly unreliable! Hopefully in future it’s better. Also not sure it provides much value above FBG, trigs and HBA1C
