What Indian Men Can Learn About Ageing From Jonty Rhodes | Dr Marcus Ranney | The Long Game Ep 1

Your chronological age is fixed. Your biological age is not. With The Long Game, we are bringing a new conversation on longevity and human performance to India, while asking questions that matter: how is your body ageing, what are the signals you may be missing, and what can you do to stay capable for longer? In Episode 1, we break down the tests, biomarkers and longevity protocols that help answer those questions. Dr Marcus Ranney is a longevity doctor whose career has included work with the Royal Air Force and NASA, while his lifelong passion for extreme physiology has taken him to Everest and the Arctic. On The Long Game, he applies that depth of experience to understanding the human body through genetic testing, DEXA scans, echocardiograms, stress tests and comprehensive blood chemistry, decoding the results on camera. Our first exploration of sustained performance begins with Jonty Rhodes. His results open up a wider conversation on longevity, from metabolic and cardiac health to bone density, gut health, recovery and the biological markers that influence how well we age. In this episode, you will learn: 1. The three pillars of longevity: cardiac health, metabolic health and gut health 2. Why a coronary calcium score should be on your regular test list, and how to read yours 3. The difference between sugar exposure and insulin resistance, and why most people only test half the picture 4. How everyday foods create silent inflammation in your gut, and the elimination protocol to fix it 5. Zone 2 training: the exact heart rate, duration and weekly structure for cardiovascular longevity 6. The supplement stack for recovery and inflammation: what to take, how much, and when For anyone looking to understand biological age, longevity testing and preventive health more deeply, this episode offers a practical view of what a full longevity workup can reveal, with particular relevance to India’s growing metabolic and cardiovascular health challenges.
