Longevity advice:

✔️Be physically active (aerobic and strength training) and get adequate, consistent sleep.
✔️Maintain social connections.
✔️Don't smoke and reduce substance/alcohol use.
✔️Control blood pressure and blood glucose.
✔️Get recommended vaccinations to prevent serious infections.
✔️Treat mental health conditions.
✔️Participate in evidence-based cancer screenings.
✔️Maintain continuous, longitudinal primary care.
The major pillars of longevity are already well known, evidence-based, and frankly not that mysterious. They work precisely because they’re boring, repeatable, and grounded in decades of data.
They just don’t lend themselves to multi-hour podcasts, viral clips, biohacking product sales, or programs that cost $100k per year.
