In this episode of The Body User Manual Podcast, Dr. David Quartell breaks down the real secrets to longevity and lasting vitality. While modern culture obsesses over “life hacks” like cold plunges, saunas, and peptides, Dr. Quartell reveals why these are only the icing on the cake—and why true healthspan depends on a solid foundation first. Using his DREAM framework (Diet, Rest, Energy, Anatomy, and Mental resilience), he explains how muscle, movement, and recovery form the core of long-term health and how foundational habits—not shortcuts—are what truly help you live longer and better.
