Click here for the full written transcript of this podcast episode. At last year's Biohackers’ Summit in London, I met an intriguing 65 year old man named Veli-Jussi Jalkanen. This guy goes by the nickname “Vessi”, and he is one of the most physically talented older men I've ever met in my life. He competes in several sports on a national and competitive level, including shooting, military 3-skill sport, diving and sprinting. He also rides horses, plays tennis both left-handed and right-handed, swims, skis, skin-dives, walks extremely long distances and swing dances. The guy can crank out 25 pullups, speaks multiple languages, owns several multinational corporations and looks like he's about 40 years old. Vessi's primary business is the Finnish company “Salli Systems” which develops ergonomically friendly furniture based on some very unique sitting concepts, like his “Salli Saddle Chair” (a unique seat modeled after horse-riding techniques) and electrically adjustable tables with elbow and wrist support.
During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why Vessi only spends about 10% of his day in a standing position, and what he does the rest of the time… -How a desk can automatically detect whether you're typing or reading… -How a saddle chair allows you to sit but “fools” your body into thinking you are standing… -Why clothing is an unfriendly nuisance to your body (and the sitting-friendly clothing that Vessi uses)… -How Vessi gets away with not wearing underwear all day long… -Why you really don't need a backrest behind your chair… -How Vessi taught himself to play tennis with both his right and left hands… -The 6 toys that Vessi keeps in his office to stay fit… -Why Vessi eats so many berries, and only one specific type of grain… -How Vessi healed himself of osteoarthritis… -The November 18 Biohackers’ Summit in Helsinki, Finland (use 10% discount code BEN) -The Luxe Bidet Ben uses -The JOOVV light Ben now uses to “shine on his balls” for testosterone

The Salli Swing Saddle Stool The Salli Swing saddle stool features the original Salli twin saddle chair design, but with the added flexibility and support of a spring mechanism. Salli Swing and Swing Fit encourage movement as you sit and move with you as you use your workspace. Salli Swing vs. Salli Swing Fit Salli Swing has the standard twin divided seat, where the Salli Swing Fit has the multi-adjuster seat. The multi-adjuster allows you to control the amount of space between the twin seats and the angle of the seat.
This is option is generally preferred by men. Like all saddle chairs, the Salli encourages a more open angle of sitting which prevents the posterior "roll" of the hips created in more traditional seating styles. This forward press of the hips allows the spine to fall in a more natural "S" position. With the spine, hips, and legs, in an anatomically correct posture, the body is allowed to move freely with reduced strain on the muscles of the back, neck, shoulders, and arms. Increased circulation and decreased fatigue can lead to improved awareness and higher productivity. Free shipping to lower 48 states.

The legs support and move the sitter on the sides of the body. The shoulders rest on the chest structure, and the shoulder muscles relax. A good sitting posture deepens breathing, prevents fatigue and increases work efficiency. To make full use of the benefits of a saddle chair, the desk must be higher than usual and preferably electrically adjustable. An electrically adjustable desk can be adjusted to different heights for sitting and standing, writing and reading and for different times of the day and different sitters.
