Future-Proof Your Body: The Habits That Outlive Your Genes

The future of your body is built today.

What if the way you age had less to do with your DNA—and more to do with what you do every day?

In this episode of How to Age Well, I’m diving into how you can future-proof your body, no matter what’s in your genes. I’ll break down the science behind nature vs nurture, share the daily habits that have the biggest impact on how we age, and spotlight some incredible people thriving well into their 90s.

I’ll talk about:

• Why your genes aren’t your destiny

• The simple things I recommend doing regularly to support long-term health

• What occasional wellness trends are helpful (and which ones are just hype)

• How sleep, hydration, movement, and even laughter can shape your future health

• Why balance, creativity, and social connection are often overlooked—but essential

I’ll also introduce you to some inspiring 90-somethings still dancing, sprinting, and teaching yoga—and what we can all learn from them.

This episode is your reminder that aging well isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about building a body and life that supports you for decades to come.
