I’ve been thinking a lot about the future lately—not in a stressed-out, “what’s going to happen to me?” kind of way, but more in a what can I do now to feel better later? kind of way. That’s what led me to start building what I call my longevity health plan. And no, this isn’t about trying to live forever or hack my way into some unrealistic version of health. It’s about creating a foundation—one that helps me feel strong, clear, and balanced as I move through each season of life. If you’re curious about what a longevity health plan is (or if you need one), keep reading. I’ll break down what I’m doing, why it matters, and how you can start your own plan too.

🧬 So... What Is a Longevity Health Plan?

To me, it’s a personalized, realistic strategy that supports how you want to feel—not just today, but 10, 20, 30 years from now. It’s not a diet. It’s not a 6-week challenge. It’s not about perfection. It’s about stacking small habits and smart decisions that actually support your long-term health—from your cells to your sleep to your stress levels. The goal? Not just more years in your life... but more life in your years.

📊 Why Longevity Isn’t Just About Genetics

Here’s something that surprised me (in the best way): According to research from the New England Journal of Medicine, only about 20% of our longevity is determined by genetics. The other 80%? That’s driven by lifestyle. That means we’re not powerless. The way we move, eat, think, sleep, and manage stress—those things matter. A lot. And while none of us can control every variable, we can take small, consistent steps that truly move the needle.

🧠 What I’m Including in My Longevity Health Plan

This part is deeply personal. Your plan might look different from mine (and that’s a good thing). But here’s where I’m focusing:

Nutrition that supports cellular health – More fiber, more polyphenols, fewer ultra-processed foods. Nothing fancy, just real food most of the time.
Strength and mobility – I’m lifting weights, walking, and stretching more. Muscle is protective as we age.
Nervous system support – Prioritizing rest, sleep, and daily practices that keep my stress from simmering.
Hormone & metabolic health – Regular labs, functional testing, and staying curious about what my body’s trying to tell me.
Supplements that fill the gaps – I don’t overdo it, but I do use targeted support based on my needs (I share more about that here).

No extremes. No biohacking. Just intentional, consistent care.

✨ Why I’m Starting Now (Not Later)

I’m in my 30s. I don’t have chronic conditions. I’m not recovering from anything major. But I don’t want to wait until I am. That’s the whole point of a longevity health plan. It’s not reactive—it’s proactive. You don’t build it out of fear. You build it because you care about how you want to feel 10 years from now.

💛 Curious Where to Start?

If you’re thinking, “Okay, but how do I even begin?”—you’re not alone. My best advice: start small and stay curious.

Pick one habit you can actually stick with.
Get honest about what’s draining your energy.
Look into your labs.
And give yourself grace. This is a long game.

You don’t need to do everything. You just need to begin. Here’s to more strength, more clarity, and more life in the years ahead.
