It's the most ubiquitous, effective, totally no-side-effects drug in the world. Exercise is also something Metzl feels is sometimes overlooked in the longevity space, in favor of fancier products. A lot of this stuff we talk about with longevity is not validated, like full-body MRIs and these supplement stacks.
I have evolved from someone who didn't think much of the bar except for resting my legs to thinking of it as an obvious life-saving precaution. Dr. Bourne shared several examples from Mammoth in which the bar could have saved lives, including the death of her former ski coach, who fell from a chairlift to his death, most likely from a medical event which may have been treatable.

My name is Barry and I'm a runner. As a clinically obese 52-year-old Irishman who regularly binge drinks (the NHS's joyless definition, not my own), I would love to be able to say I took up running for health reasons but that would be a lie. Truth be told, I was railroaded into it by my Football Weekly associate Max Rushden, who publicly challenged me to run the London Landmarks Half-Marathon.
