You know I talk about longevity all the time, right?

It's something I'm genuinely working toward every single day, being healthy and vibrant well into my later years. And I credit a lot of my thinking around this to reading books and watching documentaries that completely changed my perspective on aging.

So the other day, I was scrolling Instagram (as you do) and came across this wild ChatGPT prompt about living to 140. When AI analyzed centenarian populations in Blue Zones — regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Costa Rica — it didn't point to Mediterranean diets or daily walks as the key factor.

The surprising answer? Managing chronic stress matters more than anything else for longevity.

In this episode, I'm diving into seven principles that came from this analysis, and honestly, they resonated so deeply with how I already try to live. These aren't abstract concepts for decades from now, they're shifts you can make today that actually matter.

Because one line really hit me hard: so many people wait their whole lives to truly live, and by the time they give themselves permission, their body has already paid the price.

What You'll Learn:

• Why chronic stress (not diet or genetics) is the biggest threat to longevity and how to identify hidden stressors in your life
• Why living out of alignment with your true self keeps your body in constant survival mode
• The power of social connection and why loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day
• How to find your "ikigai"— your reason for getting up each morning that can add 7 years to your lifespan
• How to stop postponing joy until “retirement” and start living now
