Episode 38: VO₂ Max Testing — The Longevity Test That Isn’t Just for Athletes
In this episode of the InnerSight Podcast, Rudy and Shaun are joined once again by biokineticist **Hannes Swanepoel** for a practical deep dive into **VO₂ max testing using the VO₂ Master**.
We start with the basics: **What exactly is VO₂ max, and why does it matter for longevity?** We discuss why cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the most important indicators of long-term health and why VO₂ max isn’t simply a number for elite athletes.
We then get practical.
* What does a VO₂ max test actually measure?
* How is the test performed using the VO₂ Master?
* What does a good testing protocol look like?
* How do we identify aerobic and anaerobic thresholds?
* What do the different measurements tell us?
* Most importantly, **how do we use the results in the real world?**
This is less about the theory and more about **how we actually test, interpret and apply VO₂ data** — whether you are an elite athlete, weekend warrior, or simply interested in improving your health and longevity.
The key message: **VO₂ max testing is not just for athletes. It is a powerful tool for understanding your current fitness, guiding exercise prescription and tracking your healthspan over time.**

Know Your Numbers | Live at Thrive360 2025
This week we're throwing it back to the 2025 Thrive360 Health Conference, where Rudy and Shaun presented one of our favourite talks: Know Your Numbers.
In a world filled with endless health tests and conflicting advice, how do you know which numbers really matter? In this live presentation, we explore some of the most important biomarkers and health metrics that can help predict future disease, assess your current health, and guide better lifestyle decisions. From cardiovascular risk and metabolic health to fitness and healthy ageing, we discuss the numbers that deserve your attention.
This episode was recorded live, so if you're able to, we highly recommend watching it on YouTube rather than just listening, as many of the concepts are explained using slides and graphs.
The best time to know your numbers was yesterday. The next best time is today.
