Episode notes
Lifestyle Outweighs Genes
- Genetics account for about 20–25% of longevity according to twin studies.
- Lifestyle and environment control roughly 75–80% of how long and how well you live.
Prioritize Nutrient-Dense Whole Foods
- Eat a nutrient-dense, balanced whole food diet with fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and meat.
- Prioritize whole foods because processed foods drive overeating and dilute micronutrient intake.
Keep Weight Healthy and Move Moderately
- Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce mortality risk and support better body composition.
- Exercise regularly at moderate intensity most days rather than chasing extreme performance for best longevity benefit.
