Main Points From Today’s Episode

  1. Constant snacking keeps your blood sugar elevated, which is very aging. JJ shares how to optimize meal timing to increase longevity.
  2. Sugar is extremely aging because of a process called glycation. Glycation occurs when protein and fats combine with sugar in the bloodstream.
  3. Stress shortens your telomeres, which are the protective end caps around your DNA. Meditation and tapping are two of JJ’s favorite ways to lower stress.
