You don't drift into longevity. You build it...or you erode it. Most people think living longer is about genetics or luck. The data says otherwise. Where you live matters. But what you do daily matters more.Mental Skills Coach, Andrew May, and Longevity Rsearcher Dr Tom Buckley break down what actually determines how long and how well you live.From blue zones to biological age, from the pivotal impact of your 40s to the supplements Dr Tom genuinely backs, this is a sharp look at the habits that add years or quietly take them away. If you care about staying sharp, capable and competitive for decades to come — this one matters.1:30 What is longevity and premature mortality?6:15 The idea of blue zones around the world and how genetics can impact your lifespan.17:00 Why what you do in your 40s can have such a massive impact on the rest of your life and how you're still able to turn it around even if you were unhealthy beforehand.22:30 Some of the long term effects drugs can have on your brain and methods to add years back on to your life.29:00 How the 6 MatchFit levers fit into longevity and which supplements will help your long term health.35:30 The main supplements Dr Tom gets his clients to take.40:00 What is biological age vs chronological age, and why is having a low biological age so important?45:00 How what you eat and drink can add or take years off your life.51:00 Why doing moderate exercise more often is better than always doing high intensity and getting better sleep is a balance between quality and quantity of sleep.55:30 Where Dr Tom sees the science of longevity going in the future.Read the study here: https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)66280-X/fulltextListen to the podcast about saunas: https://performanceintelligence.transistor.fm/episodes/25-the-science-of-sauna-and-deliberate-heat-exposure-and-associated-benefits-dr-tom-buckleyYou can find Dr Tom at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-buckley-06a76b98/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Patrick Bet-David and Rhonda Patrick discuss marriage, kids, and longevity. They break down research on happiness, loneliness, birth rates, mental health, exercise, sauna therapy, and why relationships and family ties may be one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.

In this deeply grounding and eye-opening episode of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Torkil Faero to explore the powerful connection between stress, heart rate variability (HRV), resilience, and longevity.Dr. Færø is a Norwegian general practitioner, emergency physician, and author of The Pulse Cure — a transformative book that bridges modern medicine, nervous system wisdom, and wearable technology to help us better understand what our bodies are really telling us.This conversation begins with a gentle HeartMath coherence practice to ground the nervous system and set the tone for a truly integrative discussion. From there, we dive deep into how HRV acts as a real-time window into stress, recovery, inflammation, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing — and how learning to listen to your heart can quite literally change (and extend) your life.We explored how everyday lifestyle choices — from food, alcohol, and sleep, to exercise intensity, sunlight exposure, and even room temperature — impact your nervous system and long-term health. Dr. Færø beautifully explains how tracking HRV can help prevent burnout, chronic fatigue, overtraining, and lifestyle-related disease before the body breaks down.This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reclaim your power through awareness, data, and compassion for your body.✅What heart rate variability (HRV) really is — and why it matters more than resting heart rate✅How HRV reflects nervous system balance, resilience, and recovery capacity✅Using HRV to detect hidden stressors like food, alcohol, poor sleep, and overtraining✅The powerful connection between breathwork, the vagus nerve, and HRV✅Why quality sleep matters more than quantity — and how HRV reveals true recovery✅Burnout, chronic fatigue, and how HRV can signal trouble months or years in advance✅How diet, inflammation, and ultra-processed foods impact your stress physiology✅HRV, women's health, and understanding stress patterns during the menstrual cycle✅Training smarter — not harder — and avoiding overtraining using HRV feedback✅Cold exposure, heat stress, and optimizing recovery through temperature regulation

What if one of the most powerful tools for your health has been hiding in plain sight? In this episode, I talk with world-renowned scientist Dr. Daisy Fancourt about the astonishing research behind her new book, "Art Cure." From neonatal intensive care units to dementia wards, from immune function to longevity, the evidence is stunning: there is virtually no physiological system the arts don't touch. If a drug delivered these results, we'd call it a miracle. So why are we treating the arts like a luxury? This conversation may completely reshape how you think about music, creativity, and your daily health habits.

Recorded at the CEPR Annual Symposium in Paris. As we expect to live longer, what does this mean for the choices we make, and for the economy? What decisions will seniors be making about their later years, and do the opportunities given to them by society reflect their abilities, needs and ambitions? In Paris Tim Phillips caught up with Martin Ellison of University of Oxford and Julian Ashwin of Maastricht University to talk about their work on the macroeconomic impact of longevity.

Summary In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the burgeoning field of longevity and transformation. They explore the aspirations of individuals seeking to live longer and healthier lives, the shift in healthcare from a reactive to a proactive approach, and the role of social proof in driving transformation. The conversation also touches on the evolution of trust in the age of social media, the changing narrative around aging, and the future accessibility of longevity solutions. Takeaways People aspire to live longer and healthier lives. The healthcare industry is shifting from fixing problems to promoting flourishing. Social proof is becoming increasingly important in the transformation economy. Decentralized trust is shaping how people validate health claims. The placebo effect plays a significant role in perceived health outcomes. Aging is often misunderstood; many peak in their 50s and 60s. The evolution of science and brand is changing customer expectations. Wealthy individuals often drive innovation in health and longevity. The future of longevity solutions may become more accessible over time. Trust in brands is less centralized and more influenced by personal experiences.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Transformation and Longevity 03:10 The Ambition of Living Longer and Healthier 05:59 The Shift in Healthcare: From Fixing to Flourishing 09:07 The Role of Social Proof in the Transformation Economy 12:16 The Impact of Personal Research and Influencers 15:13 The Evolution of Science and Brand in Health 18:02 Reframing Aging: Opportunities in the Second Half of Life 21:14 The Future of Longevity and Accessibility Podcast Sponsors: Learn more about Stone Mantel https://www.stonemantel.co Sign up for the Experience Strategist Substack here: https://theexperiencestrategist.substack.com

Dr. Zeke Emanuel, a renowned bioethicist who helped draft the Affordable Care Act, is turning his attention to a new goal: helping us live longer. His new best-selling book is “Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life.” He believes some of the recent federal changes to the food dietary guidelines are contrary to the goal of a longer life. “The negatives are this overwhelming emphasis on eating more beef and beef tallow. There's a lot of data that that's not a good idea and…leads to premature mortality. We already in this country….eat way too much beef. We also have to change the food production ecosystem away from ultra-processed foods….and you have to make that more expensive so people will eat less of them and shift over to healthier things.”Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter also ask Dr. Emanuel about his recent op-ed. The piece explains his view that anti-vaccine policymakers could undercut vaccine availability.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the real question isn't just how to live longer, but why so many people are living longer and healthier lives on paper, yet feel depleted, inflamed, disconnected, or cognitively foggy in daily life?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz reframes what longevity really means and why healthy aging has far less to do with chasing more years and far more to do with protecting cellular health, vitality, and resilience across decades. She explains why humans are living longer than ever before, yet not necessarily living better, and how focusing only on disease management or biohacking trends misses the real drivers of aging.You'll learn why longevity is not defined by a number, but by biological age, health span, and cellular aging, and how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalance, nervous system stress, emotional disconnection, and loss of community quietly accelerate aging long before symptoms become diagnoses.This episode reframes longevity as a full body system, not a supplement stack or a protocol. One that integrates physical health, brain function, emotional regulation, spirituality, and community. When these systems fall out of sync, aging speeds up. When they are supported together, living longer becomes living with clarity, strength, and purpose.Dr. Taz shares: • What longevity actually means and why lifespan and health span are not the same • Why humans are living longer but not necessarily healthier • How cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic stress drive chronic disease • Why diet quality, gut health, liver function, movement, sleep, and nervous system balance matter more than biohacking • How cognitive reserve, dopamine regulation, and emotional health protect the aging brain • Why community and spirituality are overlooked but essential pillars of healthy aging • Where peptides, hormones, and modern longevity tools fit and where they don't • How to build a longevity plan that is realistic, accessible, and sustainableWhether you're thinking about how to live longer, worried about aging faster than you should, or simply want to protect your health span as you move through midlife and beyond, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap.Longevity is not about optimizing harder. It's about supporting the systems that keep you well, year after year.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters00:00 Longevity is not about more years00:50 Are humans really living longer01:49 The global aging reality03:31 Why aging became something to fear05:17 Aging on a spectrum, not a number06:07 The hidden disease burden of aging08:31 Cellular aging explained09:45 Why biohacking misses the foundation11:10 The five-body approach to longevity13:10 Community, emotion, and aging14:05 Diet, inflammation, and cellular health16:19 Medications, gut health, and aging16:49 Fasting, calories, and longevity18:52 What eating for longevity actually means19:39 Movement and aging well21:35 Sleep, repair, and brain health22:50 Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention24:20 Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging26:49 Spirituality, community, and vitality30:05 Peptides, hormones, and future medicine31:58 A new vision for positive aging32:48 Longevity is built day by day (00:00) - Longevity is not about more years (00:50) - Are humans really living longer (01:49) - The global aging reality (03:31) - Why aging became something to fear (05:17) - Aging on a spectrum, not a number (06:07) - The hidden disease burden of aging (08:31) - Cellular aging explained (09:45) - Why biohacking misses the foundation (11:10) - The five-body approach to longevity (13:10) - Community, emotion, and aging (14:05) - Diet, inflammation, and cellular health (16:19) - Medications, gut health, and aging (16:49) - Fasting, calories, and longevity (18:52) - What eating for longevity actually means (19:39) - Movement and aging well (21:35) - Sleep, repair, and brain health (22:50) - Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention (24:20) - Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging (26:49) - Spirituality, community, and vitality (30:05) - Peptides, hormones, and future medicine (31:58) - A new vision for positive aging (32:48) - Longevity is built day by day

Episode 341 "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks." A compelling quote that sums up the thesis of Rutger Bregman's new book. In Moral Ambition, the Dutch historian and the best-selling author argues that smart people need to stop wasting their lives in “BS” jobs - and turn their skills to causes that benefit humanity. By reflecting on the history of the abolitionist and women's rights movements, he explains why it's never too late to take action on major issues - like climate change or the exploitation of animals. He also explores how AI experts are preparing for a massive shift in the way we live, that we need to pay attention to. Same-sex sexual behaviour in primates is incredibly common - despite seemingly having no evolutionary advantage. But scientists have now noticed something counterintuitive. This behaviour happens more often in high-stress environments, where food is scarce, suggesting it may aid with social cohesion. It may even improve the success of straight sex - increasing the number of offspring in a group. If you want to live a longer, healthier life - it may be way easier than you think. Most modern longevity advice is about optimising every aspect of your life - and can feel overwhelming for many people. But a new study shows you can add a full year to your life, just by making very minor tweaks to things like sleep and exercise. Find out how. For three years in a row, average global temperatures have exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures. As we fail to get a handle on rising global heating, scientists are exploring a new - slightly odd - way of managing carbon levels. The idea is to protect Earth's climate from future wildfires, but cutting down vast swathes of forest and sinking the trees in the Arctic ocean. But will it work - or make things worse?

In a time when so many of us are searching for ways to feel better, stay stronger, and add more healthy years to our lives, the importance of clear, reliable, science-based information has never been greater. We're surrounded by conflicting advice, quick fixes, and wellness trends that come and go — but what truly makes a difference is understanding the evidence behind how our daily choices shape our long-term health. In his groundbreaking book, How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger transformed how millions think about health, and now, with his newly revised and updated edition, he's giving us the latest research on how we can prevent disease and extend our healthspan. Dr. Greger is a nutrition expert physician and founder of nutritionfacts.org

As life expectancy continues to rise globally, longevity is no longer just about adding years to life: it's about adding life to years. Building on the first discussion at the TEDxAthens Salon “Longevity”, this conversation explores how our perceptions of aging are shifting, what the new data tells us about how Greeks feel about their longer lives, and how societies, businesses, and individuals can prepare for the 100-year life.

We’re bringing you something special this week in place of our usual daily show. Every day, we are making one of the stories that listeners loved this year free for everyone. Today it is from New Scientist on the rising life expectancy of humans and the evolving science behind how we measure aging, written by Graham Lawton and narrated by Mike Cooper for Apple News+.

Cardiologist, scientist and bestselling author Dr. Eric Topol's latest book "Super Agers" distills decades of research on how to make us healthier for longer. Topol says that humanity is on the cusp of developing treatments to help tame cancer, dementia and other chronic diseases… just as political forces in the U.S. are shutting down that research.

Over the past year, we covered a wide range of ground—from clinicians working directly with patients to top scientists studying the underlying biology of aging. This episode is a chance to look back at some of the more interesting conversations we had on Longevity Roadmap in 2025. Looking ahead, there's no sign that the pace is slowing. In longevity, it often feels like every year brings another set of breakthroughs, and 2026 is shaping up to be a big one. One of the most important trends to watch is the increasing role of artificial intelligence in medicine, particularly in pharmaceuticals. AI-driven, network-based drug repurposing efforts are starting to identify compounds that may influence aging biology and move more efficiently toward clinically relevant interventions. By the end of 2026, it's reasonable to expect early readouts or expanded trials that begin to meaningfully target the hallmarks of aging. Before wrapping up this year, I just want to say thanks to everyone who's been listening this year. Your interest, your feedback, and your willingness to think critically about this space are what make the show worth doing.

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Dr. David Karli, a renowned physician and entrepreneur in regenerative medicine, to explore the intersection of health, determination, longevity, and the future of medical technology.Dr. Karli opens up about his personal health crisis in his early 40s; including burnout, panic attacks, hormonal imbalance, and the wake-up call that forced him to rethink everything he believed about aging, performance, and medicine. What followed was a complete transformation that reshaped not only his body, but his mindset, career, and mission.Together, they dive into testosterone optimization, mental health in men, the psychology of discipline, and why process, suffering, and systems are unavoidable if you want real change. The conversation expands into cutting-edge regenerative medicine, AI-driven stem cell therapy, and the ethical questions surrounding longevity; including whether living longer actually means living better. Key Takeaways-Hormonal health is foundational to both physical and mental performance-Discipline is doing the work long after motivation fades-True transformation comes from systems, not shortcuts-Longevity without mobility and quality of life is a hollow win-Suffering is not the enemy, it's part of growth-The future of medicine will be personalized, data-driven, and ethically complex Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGADavid Karlihttps://www.instagram.com/davidkarli/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, we examine what actually counts as a victimless crime and why the term is so often misused, using examples ranging from seatbelt and helmet laws to drugs, prostitution, and software piracy. We discuss how insurance markets price risk more effectively than regulation, and why many so-called crimes are really paperwork violations with no direct victims. We also look at the limits of automation through recent failures in self-driving technology, and highlight the Foolishness of the Week involving ideological monocultures in academia and the incentives that sustain them. The conversation then turns to the main topic of whether there should be an age limit for the presidency, weighing cognitive decline, longevity, institutional incentives, and why existing safeguards like the 25th Amendment rarely function as intended. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:29 What Counts as a Victimless Crime? 01:38 Insurance, Risk, and Who Really Pays 04:36 Drugs, Prostitution, and True Victimless Crimes 06:26 Regulatory Crimes vs Real Human Harm 07:53 Software Piracy and Intellectual Property 12:38 Waymo, Power Outages, and Self-Driving Failures 14:49 Foolishness of the Week: Academic Monocultures in Academia 17:10 Personal Stories of Academic Censorship 20:39 Main Topic: Should Presidents Have an Age Limit? 21:41 Biden, Trump, and Cognitive Decline 24:39 Living Longer, Dementia, and Modern Leadership Risks 29:34 Age Limits in Other Professions 33:00 The Age of Past Presidents When Initially Elected 37:35 Which Presidents Would Have Survived a Term Age Limit? 39:33 The 25th Amendment and Why It Rarely Works 40:57 Incentives, Power, and Presidential Succession 43:53 Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometimes the perfect words show up when you need them most. We start with a surprisingly powerful bit of holiday inspiration from Mr. Rogers — a reminder of kindness and humanity that still resonates today. Source: The World According to Mr. Rogers (https://amzn.to/3RKWfzC) Science is completely rethinking what it means to grow old. It's not just about adding years — it's about adding healthy years. And while diet and exercise play their part, researchers are uncovering far more advanced ways to slow aging at a cellular level. Some of the most intriguing experiments can literally make worms appear younger, think better, and live twice as long. Coleen Murphy, professor at Princeton University and Director of Princeton's Glenn Foundation for Research on Aging, explains where longevity science is heading and what it may one day mean for us. She is author of How We Age: The Science of Longevity (https://amzn.to/3GKDKF5). Most of us have avoided doing something — trying out, speaking up, taking a shot — because we feared what other people might think. That fear is powerful, and it holds people back in ways we rarely acknowledge. High-performance psychologist Michael Gervais joins me to explain why this fear is so universal, how it shapes everyday decisions, and what we can do to break free from it. He is host of the Finding Mastery podcast (https://findingmastery.com/podcasts/) and author of The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying about What People Think of You. (https://amzn.to/3RtsDoW). With the new year approaching, many people start thinking about career moves. We wrap up with the personality traits employers value most — qualities that often matter more than experience or credentials.

Longevity medicine is moving beyond symptom management—and regenerative therapies are forcing a deeper look at how healing actually works. In this episode, Dr. Buck Joffrey speaks with the team at BioXcellerator about what separates rigorous regenerative medicine from hype-driven shortcuts. The conversation focuses on why stem cells aren't about "replacing" tissue, but about directing the body's own repair systems through immune signaling, inflammation control, and cellular communication. Drawing from Buck's own experience receiving treatment at BioXcellerator, the discussion unpacks why cell source, processing, viability, and delivery fundamentally shape outcomes. They break down the differences between Wharton's jelly–derived mesenchymal stem cells and adult autologous cells, how hypoxic culturing alters therapeutic signaling, and why exosomes alone are not interchangeable with living cells. They also address the regulatory gray zones surrounding regenerative medicine and why high-quality real-world data matters in a field driven by complex biology. Watch the full episode to understand how regenerative medicine actually works—and where it's headed.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray to discuss his groundbreaking research on brain resilience and aging. He explains how systemic factors, particularly proteins in the blood, influence cognitive function and the aging process. The discussion covers the role of proteomics, machine learning, and the potential of parabiosis and plasma infusions in developing therapies for age-related diseases like Alzheimer's. Dr. Wyss-Coray emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological markers of aging and resilience to create targeted interventions for healthier aging.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Francisco González-Lima to delve into the metabolic mechanisms that drive brain aging and cognitive decline. He begins by outlining how reductions in cytochrome oxidase activity, disruptions in oxidative phosphorylation, and the accumulation of mitochondrial mutations progressively impair neuronal energy metabolism. These metabolic deficits, he explains, often emerge long before the structural abnormalities associated with Alzheimer's disease. Building on this foundation, the conversation examines how reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial inefficiency, and altered cortical oxygen utilization contribute to diminished cognitive resilience over time. Dr. González-Lima highlights why these metabolic disturbances provide a more coherent explanation for geriatric dementia than traditional protein-centric models. The discussion then shifts to emerging therapeutic strategies. Dr. González-Lima reviews evidence for low-dose methylene blue and 1064 nm transcranial photobiomodulation, both of which appear to enhance mitochondrial respiration and support prefrontal function by directly targeting cytochrome oxidase activity. He concludes by emphasizing the need for metabolism-focused interventions, improved cerebral perfusion, and more precise energy-based frameworks to guide the future of brain-aging therapeutics.

If you're stocking up on Halloween candy, do you know which treats kids actually want the most? This episode opens with a list of the top 10 most popular Halloween candies — and it may not be what you expect. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/2023/10/03/blow-pops-win-title-ohio-favorite-halloween-candy/71041875007/ Some animals live unimaginably long lives — an oyster that's over 500 years old, creatures that seem to never age at all. What if unlocking their secrets could help us extend human lifespans? Research into nature's most resilient species is already pointing the way. Joining me is Steven Austad, Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of Methuselah's Zoo: What Nature Can Teach Us about Living Longer, Healthier Lives (https://amzn.to/3Q5Zj8L). He reveals what the natural world is teaching us about living not just longer, but better. Why do some people come to believe things that simply aren't true? From flat-earth theories to dangerous conspiracy thinking, misbelief is everywhere — and it can have serious consequences. Dan Ariely, professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University, knows this topic intimately. He's the author of Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things (https://amzn.to/3ZNNOpB), and he shares both the science and his personal story of being the target of misbelief. This conversation might change how you view false beliefs — and those who hold them.

Did you know that despite all our modern advances, our bodies are still running on the same hunter-gatherer genetics from millions of years ago? In this episode, Amy sits down with Dr. James Fisher to explore the gap between how we were designed to thrive and how we actually live today. Together, they uncover 5 simple, science-backed lifestyle habits that can help us reclaim our health in a fast-paced, convenience-driven world. Expect to learn how primal health habits can boost your energy naturally, prevent disease before it starts, improve sleep quality, and make you feel your best so you can give your best to the world. Amy starts by explaining the hidden cost of modern convenience. She shows how technology gives us speed and comfort, but it also strips away the natural movement and effort our bodies were designed for. Dr. Fisher reveals the concept of “genetic mismatch.” Our DNA is still wired for the hunter-gatherer world, but we're living in a sedentary, fast-food culture. Amy shares why walking is underrated. With modern conveniences, we can go days without walking for purpose — but our bodies crave it. Scheduling walks restores energy, supports mental clarity, and reconnects us with the world outside our screens. Dr. Fisher emphasizes strength training as a longevity tool. He reminds us that our muscles are designed to be challenged, and avoiding that work actually accelerates weakness and pain.  Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that just two 20-minute sessions per week can transform your strength, independence, and daily comfort. Amy highlights the surprising link between pain and strength. While most people avoid lifting when they hurt, the right kind of training can reduce discomfort and restore confidence.  Dr. Fisher compares the body to a Ferrari — you can't expect top performance on low-grade fuel. Choosing whole foods not only powers your energy but also protects you from chronic disease. Amy explains how to shop smarter without stress. She encourages sticking to the perimeter of the grocery store where the fresh produce and proteins live.  This simple habit reduces processed food in your cart and upgrades your nutrition without extra willpower. Dr. Fisher shares the forgotten power of sunlight and highlights how a short walk in the morning can dramatically improve mood, focus, and sleep later at night. Why you need to rethink your relationship with sleep. Dr. Fisher reminds us that sleep deprivation is so toxic it has been used as torture. Treating sleep as sacred helps you recover, repair, and thrive in every other area of health. Amy shares why fitness doesn't have to mean the gym. Daily steps, a swim, or even playful activity all count toward keeping glycogen in check and your body thriving. Learn why processed foods drain more than they give. Amy highlights that they're stripped of nutrients while loaded with additives that confuse your body. Swapping them for whole foods restores clarity, energy, and vitality. Amy and Dr. Fisher talk about the benefits of sunlight exposure. Amy reveals the mindset shift around strength training. It doesn't have to be long, grueling sessions. All you need are small, consistent efforts. This makes it accessible for anyone, no matter how busy life feels. Dr. Fisher shares how the five lifestyle hacks (movement, whole foods, sunlight, sleep, and strength training), all align you with your ancestral design. Together, they create a foundation for thriving instead of just surviving. Amy highlights the ripple effect of feeling your best. When you invest in your health, your energy and presence spill over into your family, work, and community. Amy challenges you to act today. Even choosing one of these five areas to improve makes a real, measurable difference. The earlier you start, the sooner you feel the shift in energy, clarity, and long-term health.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Living longer is one thing. Living well is another. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Bobby Dubois, we unpack the final three pillars of his blueprint for longevity: mind-body harmony, heat & cold exposure, and social relationships. Dr. Bobby explains why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even walking in nature can calm the brain and lower anxiety. We also explore the science-backed benefits of sauna and cold plunging—and what's hype versus what's real. Finally, we uncover why social connection is the single strongest predictor of living a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. If you want practical, evidence-based ways to boost your health, not just your longevity, this episode shows you how to put it all together. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How meditation and breathwork improve brain and heart health. Why saunas reduce risk of heart attack and stroke. The science behind cold plunges and their impact on mood and happiness. Why social connection is the strongest predictor of longevity, even more than exercise. How to be your own “quarterback” for health and wellness instead of hiring multiple coaches and gurus. Show Notes: HowardBailey.com/522

Chicagoans are living longer — at least nearly as long as they did pre-pandemic, according to new data from the Chicago Department of Public Health. Meanwhile, the life expectancy gap between Black and non-Black Chicagoans is narrowing, but according to CDPH, there's still a long way to go. In the Loop finds out more about how far the city has come in improving the health and longevity of residents and what challenges may lie ahead. We check in with Ayesha Jaco, executive director of West Side United; The Rev. Marshall Hatch, senior pastor, New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church; and Dr. David Ansell, professor of medicine at Rush University Medical Center and author of The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills. For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.

Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Bobby Dubois. Dr. Bobby is a Harvard-educated physician, Board-Certified in Internal Medicine with over 25 years of experience. He's an author, entrepreneur, wellness doctor, and Ironman Triathlete. Most recently, he led a health policy research organization in Washington, D.C. (National Pharmaceutical Council) as its Chief Science Officer and Executive Vice President. Prior to that, he served as the Chief Medical Officer of Cerner Life Sciences and co-founded Proto Care Sciences. He's the host of the Live Long and Well podcast and has made it his mission to help others cut through the noise and live longer with more energy as they age. The simple fact is, most retirees and pre-retirees want more time, energy, and independence to enjoy the life they've worked so hard to build. However, the reality is that longevity without good health won't achieve the lifestyle that most retirees envisioned during their working years. In part 1 of this 2-part conversation, we delve into the life-extending benefits of aerobic exercise, the scientific advantages of consistent sleep, and the surprising role of relationships in promoting increased longevity. Dr. Bobby outlines his six pillars of health and explains how to apply them in retirement. And here's the good news: it's never too late to start. In its simplest form, his advice is strikingly similar to what you'd hear from a financial advisor: It's much better to start saving and exercising young, but it's never too late to start. If you want to live not only longer, but better, this episode provides a clear path and roadmap to get there. GET A FREE COPY OF DR.
