ADVICE

Choose A Whole Food Framework You Can Stick To

  • Pick a sustainable whole-food pattern rather than chasing diet tribalism.
  • Dave Asprey recommends choosing a real-food framework (plants, fiber, less ultra-processed food) you can stick with instead of overthinking protocols.
INSIGHT

Micro Improvements Stack Into Big Mortality Gains

  • Small, simultaneous improvements compound dramatically.
  • The SPAN score shows adding ~5 minutes sleep, ~2 minutes vigorous movement, and modest diet gains together reduced mortality up to 64% versus changing one behavior alone.
ADVICE

Nail The Basics Before Adding Hacks

  • Prioritize basics across sleep, movement, and diet before adding new interventions.
  • Dave Asprey suggests a 10-minute walk, 15 minutes earlier bedtime, and better food half the week to move the longevity needle more than expensive add-ons.
