Miller Lab

Dr. Kevin White interviewed Dr. Benjamin Miller on The Daily Apple podcast episode

Dr. Kevin White interviewed Dr. Benjamin Miller on The Daily Apple podcast episode titled, “The One ‘Drug’ that Outperforms Them All: Exercise and Aging Explained.” Dr. Miller explains the biology of aging, from protein damage to energy production, and shares why exercise still outperforms any “miracle drug” on the market. He also highlighted the lab’s current exercise clinical trial, in collaboration with Dr. Sue Bodine at OMRF and Dr. Marcas Bamman at IHMC in Pensacola, Florida. In this trial, adults 60 and older receive supervised training, advanced health testing, and wearables to measure multiple outcomes from VO₂ max to sleep — all with the goal of predicting who benefits most from which type of exercise.
