Episode Details

🚀 A dynamo of focus and tenacity – Lee Sheftel is 77 and has been crushing it since forever. At almost 60, achieving 5.14, a 99.9% percentile grade in rock climbing, completing the Grand Teton traverse at 70 – Lee's rewriting the book on aging with power. But here's the kicker – he's not your typical climbing prodigy. Lee spills the beans on his secret training sauce, from biohacking his diet, to experimenting with performance enhancers. Oh, and did I mention he's a piano virtuoso too? 🎹 

Join us as we unravel Lee's extraordinary journey and discover:

• 🔄 Lee’s routines and habits that allowed him to keep progressing in his 50s and even his 60s
• ⚡ Continuing to train for power, contrary to accepted wisdom
• 🥗 Different diets (raw vegan, anyone?) and what worked, what didn’t?
• 🏋️‍♂️ Mobility, exercise, and physical rehab that has helped Lee bounce back from career-ending injuries
• 💊 Controversial enhancing supplements and whether they helped
• 🔍 And finally, radical acceptance - accepting the outcome but continuing the fight
