Eat Burn Sleep

What if the real risk of aging isn’t losing muscle, but losing strength?
In this podcast episode, Matt Roberts tells Yalda Alaoui why strength declines faster than muscle after 35, and how this directly affects metabolism, balance, and long-term health.
Muscle and strength loss don’t suddenly happen in old age, they begin quietly from our mid-30s and accelerate without intervention. In Part 1 of this conversation, Matt Roberts shares over 30 years of experience in strength, performance, and longevity, explaining why strength loss is more dangerous than muscle loss alone. Together, Matt and Yalda explore minimal effective training, consistency across decades, bone density, menopause, and why protecting strength is essential for health span, independence, and aging well.

What if the biggest threat to your long-term health isn’t something you can feel, but something quietly running in the background every day?
In this solo episode, Yalda explains why chronic inflammation is at the root of most modern diseases and how lowering it is key to longevity, immune balance, and feeling well at every stage of life.
Yalda breaks down what chronic inflammation really is, why low-grade inflammation is so dangerous, and how it quietly drives conditions such as autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalance, infertility, skin issues, and Alzheimer’s. Drawing on her personal health journey and years of research, she explains the early signs to look out for, why blood tests don’t always tell the full story, and how simple daily lifestyle choices, not extremes or biohacks, make the biggest difference to long-term health and longevity.
Yalda Alaoui was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases (Ulcerative Colitis in 2007 and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in 2012) which catalyzed her research into health and nutrition. She traveled the world to find a solution, learning from specialists, nutritionists, naturopaths, and holistic doctors.
