What if you could live to 120—and feel healthy, vibrant, and purposeful the whole time? In this episode, I talk with longevity expert Mark Sherwood about the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science around aging, lifespan, and healthspan. We explore how yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic astrology align with cutting-edge biohacking and functional medicine practices, revealing that the real secret to longevity may be much simpler than we think.
Mark shares practical tools to live not just longer, but better: from stress management and nutrition to connection, mindset, and the curiosity that keeps the mind youthful. We also dive into fascinating longevity frontiers like peptides, stem cells, molecular hydrogen, and the 120-year life cycle reflected in both human history and the Vedic Dasha system.
You’ll hear about the real keys to vitality—not pills, not quick fixes, but consistent practices of self-responsibility, nourishment, and resilience. Whether you’re passionate about yoga, astrology, or simply want to live a healthier life, this conversation will inspire you to take small but powerful steps toward longevity.
5 Key Ideas from the Episode:
1. “We’re not trying to live longer, we’re trying to live better—and that’s what healthspan is all about.”
2. “History shows us the maximum lifespan is around 120 years. Fascinatingly, Vedic astrology mapped that out thousands of years ago.”
3. “Stress is not a noun—it’s a verb. It’s the action or response we choose in life’s unexpected moments.”
4. “Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.”
5. “Curiosity heals the human. The more you keep learning, the more you keep your mind young.”
