I recently celebrated my 69th birthday and am now in training for my 70s. So, not in my prime yet… just working on it. Focus is on healthspan/longevity.

Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.
Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.

“Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.”

@howertonjosh @lukedsimmons Reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry pairs well with a Sabbath study…

@lukedsimmons For the public record, this is not a shot at JMC! The primary problem was in the readers, probably not the writer!

I have been wearing an Oura ring for years in order to monitor my sleep.
The ring captures many different readings when worn and analyzes them to present a view of the quality of your sleep. It also generates a readiness score that suggests your “readiness” for tackling your day.
As you can see from one of the images above, I have a very low resting heart rate… that’s not because I’m some kind of athlete… I assure you that I’m not. I just have a naturally low heart rate, often time dropping below 40.
The sleep graph is where I always look first. I can get by on 6 hours per night, and last night I had over 7 hours, which is a home run for me. I am a little light on my REM sleep, which I am oftens times, but overall it’s good.

@Gymshark I try to go to the gym VERY early to avoid the crowds. It helps me avoid loud conversations, and competition for equipment! Then again, I'm old and wake up early by default, so that helps!

@foundmyfitness I have always heard that you should take vitamin D in the AM to mimic when you might get it from the sun?

If you’re curious what I actually do for longevity, here’s my weekly routine:
~5 hrs/week of exercise (when I'm not traveling). That includes:
• CrossFit (~3 hrs/wk) for strength + high-intensity work
• "Zone 2" running on recovery days for cardiovascular and brain benefits
I also try to sauna 5x/week at night for heat acclimation and supporting sleep quality.
A simple, whole-food diet:
• ~1.6 g protein/kg/day
• Eggs + smoothie for breakfast, turkey burger for lunch, and vegetables/salad + meat for dinner
Last is supplements:
• In the morning, I take creatine (10 grams), a multivitamin, cocoa polyphenols, sulforaphane, and omega-3s
• In the evening, I take magnesium, omega-3s, vitamin D + K2, PQQ, and nicotinamide riboside (NR)
This is what I’ve found to be sustainable and aligns with the latest evidence.

@robertlufkinmd So… how, specifically, do you suggest we develop a personalized longevity protocol?

A new study in Science just dropped a bomb:
Your genes may control lifespan *far more* than we thought.
But here's what the headlines won't tell you:
This is actually GOOD news for longevity optimization.
Here's why 🧵
*1/* The old view: Genetics = ~7-25% of lifespan
The new data: It's significantly higher
"But Dr. Rob, doesn't that mean lifestyle doesn't matter?"
Exactly the opposite.
*2/* Understanding your genetic risk lets you TARGET interventions.
If you have genes for cardiovascular disease → prioritize metabolic health
If you have genes for neurodegeneration → focus on brain-protective strategies
Precision > Random effort
*3/* Here's what I do with this information:
• Get comprehensive genetic testing
• Identify YOUR specific risk factors
• Build a protocol around YOUR biology
Not generic advice. Personalized longevity.
*4/* The real takeaway:
Genes load the gun.
Lifestyle pulls the trigger.
Knowing your genetics isn't fatalism—it's intelligence.
