The Biggest Top Tips for Functional Health and Longevity
Your Longevity Blueprint’s Top Tips from Guests
Thanksgiving is about looking back and sharing gratitude for your year with your loved ones. In honor of this Thanksgiving that might look a little bit different for you, I’m looking back on the past podcast episodes. I’ve compiled all of my guest’s top longevity tips. I hope you’ll take them on board!
Top Longevity Tip #1
Sleep is essential for our health! You need to prioritize your sleep to thrive in your life. Listen to the full episode with Cynthia Thurlow here.
Top Longevity Tip #2
Your body is meant to move every single day, so make sure you’re moving it! Regular movement helps keep your bones healthy. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Calla Jayne Kleene here.
Top Longevity Tip #3
Sometimes it’s necessary to put stress on our bodies. That’s why you should prioritize your rest and recovery to optimize your stress levels. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Terry Wahls here.
Top Longevity Tip #4
Be proactive, rather than reactive, about your health. Being happy in your life is so vital and you should absolutely build a healthy, thriving community around you. Listen to the full episode with Kylene Terhune here.
Top Longevity Tip #5
Wearing blue light glasses when using your electronic devices, especially at night time. Blue light glasses help block out the blue light these devices give off that disrupt our sleep cycle. Listen to the full episode part one with Tom Houle and part two here.
Top Longevity Tip #6
Good quality sleep is the most important thing to focus on for healthy hormone levels, especially testosterone in men. It doesn’t matter if you’re sleeping through the night, if it’s not of high-quality sleep, it won’t improve your hormone health. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Tracy Gapin here.
Top Longevity Tip #7
Realizing that you are worth it and should care for yourself, first. Prioritizing your own health and self-care will allow you to care more fully for others. Listen to the full episode with Rachel Varga here.
Top Longevity Tip #8
Sleep is essential for daily function. Take all of your electronics out of your bedroom, including your phone, television, and laptop. Listen to the full episode with Aimee Carlson here.
Top Longevity Tip #9
Start your children off on the best foot possible by feeding them a healthy diet full of fruits and veggies. Many chronic diseases begin in childhood and can be linked to poor nutrition. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Ana Maria Temple here.
Top Longevity Tip #10
Fasting and meditation are the most important treatments for functional health. Make sure you give yourself time every day to meditate. Listen to the full episode with Todd White here.
Top Longevity Tip #11
Focus on what’s right with you, not what’s wrong for you. And make sure you remember to breathe! Breathing is a lost art. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum here.
Top Longevity Tip #12
Eat as close to a native diet as possible. This means eating locally grown produce and eating what’s in season native to where you’re living. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Ben Pospisil here.
Top Longevity Tip #13
Go outside every single day! Being outdoors in the sunshine and moving your body will help all aspects of your health. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Veronique Desaulniers here.
Top Longevity Tip #14
Take advantage of the natural ebb and flow of daylight and darkness to live in line with your circadian rhythm. Get natural, full-spectrum light first thing in the morning. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Carrie Jones here.
Top Longevity Tip #15
Make meaningful connections with other people, especially if you get some good loving out of it! Listen to the full episode with Dr. Keira Barr here.
Top Longevity Tip #16
Make sure you’re prioritizing relaxation and breathing. These techniques can help strengthen your parasympathetic nervous system. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Beth O’Hara here.
Top Longevity Tip #17
Find a positive, fun movement that you love to keep your body moving every day. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Carol Lourie in episode 29.
Top Longevity Tip #18
Eat healthily and avoid processed foods. Make sure you eat a variety of veggies! Listen to the full episode with Veronica Worley in episode 28.
Top Longevity Tip #19
Reduce your exposure to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), especially at night.
This means keeping your cell away from your body while you're sleeping. Don't just put it in airplane mode, put it on the other side of the room or in an entirely separate room!
Top Longevity Tip #20
Add more laughter into your life! Did you know that children laugh an average of 400 times a day, whereas adults laugh only a dozen.
Laughing relieves physical tension and stress and actively boosts the immune system.
I urge you to adopt at least one of these top tips right away. I’d love to know which one you’re focusing on first! Let me know in the comments on the episode page.
Quotes
“You don’t have to be sick to take dramatic action to be a healthier person.” [4:06]
“I think meditation is the single most important practice an adult can have. Then fasting, just following that. Both require practice. Both are perceived as difficult. The people who say they don’t have time to meditate need meditation the most.” [16:04]
“Sunshine, fresh air, and moving your body are so important in keeping your body thriving and alive.” [17:59]
