Episode notes
Follow The Four Pillar Framework
- Focus on four pillars: lifestyle, functional, preventative, and longevity medicine.
- Build the first three pillars before using advanced longevity interventions.
Prioritise Diet, Strength And Sleep After 40
- After 40, de-process your diet, prioritise strength training, and optimise sleep.
- Track sleep long-term and act on trends rather than daily fluctuations.
Use Sleep Trackers For Trends Not Daily Scores
- Avoid obsessing over daily sleep metrics; use trackers for long-term trends.
- If tracking causes stress, reduce checking frequency or use it only during clinic reviews.
