Episode Notes: 5 Strategies for Longevity
What is Longevity?
- Longevity is about staying healthy until the end of life, not just living longer.
- Consider the quality of the last 10 years of your life.
Key Points:
- Individualized Approach: There's no one-size-fits-all solution; personal tracking is crucial.
- Track food, exercise, sleep, and labs.
- Avoid relying solely on numbers; listen to your body.
