Sleep & Recovery – Sep 16

/ , , , / , , , , , , , , /

Diet, exercise, connection, and sleep are four key determining factors in human health. Sleep, in particular, plays a critical role in recovery and resilience. Fortunately, recent eye-opening (*ahem*) research can help us harness sleep science to improve everyday life and long-term health.

Our Wonderfest speaker, Greg Tranah, PhD, is Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UC San Francisco. He is also Senior Scientist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute.

Muscle & Strength – Apr 2

/ , , / , , , , , , , /

Muscle plays a central role in life and health. At this Commonwealth Club event, Michael Joseph Gross, author of the new book Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives, shares his call for each of us to recognize muscle as “the vital, inextricable, and effective partner of the soul.” Learn how Gross looks at strength, weight training, and fitness — about how all of us, from elite powerlifters to people who have never played sports at all, can learn to lift weights in ways that yield an important prize: the ability to act upon the world in the ways that we wish.

Author Michael Joseph Gross will speak with podcaster Guy Raz, creator of “How I Built This.” Two types of tickets are available: in-person and online-only. Pre-register with the Commonwealth Club via the “Tickets” link, below. Use promo code WONDERNAUTS for a $7 ticket discount.

Strong Aging – Jan 25

/ , , / , , , , , , , , , , , /

What can we do, today, to improve muscle strength and, accordingly, to increase healthy longevity, i.e., healthspan? It starts by understanding the science of strength and of muscle function, and then appreciating how muscle changes with aging. Ultimately, we find that healthspan increases with simple and effective evidence-based strategies for improving muscle health and function.

Our speaker, Dr. Greg Tranah, PhD, is Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UC San Francisco. He is also Senior Scientist at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute.
