Actionable Insights

1. Drastically Reduce Sugar & Starch

Drastically reduce or eliminate sugar and refined starch from your diet, as this single intervention is crucial for extending life, preventing, and reversing chronic diseases by addressing underlying dysfunctions like insulin resistance.

2. Eliminate Ultra-Processed Foods

Remove ultra-processed foods from your diet, as they are food-like substances that cause havoc in biology, lead to increased calorie consumption, and significantly raise the risk of death.

3. Adopt Low Glycemic Diet

Shift your diet to be low glycemic, higher in protein and fat, and lower in starch and sugar, while incorporating plenty of phytochemically rich fruits and vegetables to support longevity and overall health.

4. Simultaneously Add Good, Remove Bad

Focus on both adding beneficial foods and practices into your diet and lifestyle while simultaneously removing detrimental ones, as both aspects are crucial for creating a healthy system and allowing the body to repair.

5. Utilize Food as Medicine

Select specific foods like onions, garlic (quercetin), broccoli family (glucofernin), green tea (catechins), and mushrooms (polysaccharides) from the grocery store to activate longevity pathways and switches as part of daily consumption.

6. Incorporate Strength Training

Engage in resistance training and strength training, even at older ages, to improve body composition, increase health and strength, and counteract muscle loss, which is a key factor in aging fast.

7. Optimize Epigenome Through Lifestyle

Actively manage your diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep, environmental toxin exposure, nutritional levels, and microbiome to positively influence your epigenome and reverse biological aging.

8. Perform a 10-Day Detox Reset

Consider a short-term 10-day detox diet to remove potentially harmful foods, allowing your body to reset and potentially achieve a 70% reduction in various symptoms like migraines, IBS, depression, or arthritis within days.

9. Activate Innate Healing System

Understand that your body contains an incredible, ancient, embedded healing system that can be activated to reverse biological age and make you younger as you get older, by learning how to support it.

10. Incorporate AG1 Daily

Consider taking AG1 daily, a health drink containing five strains of gut bacteria, to support digestion and enrich the gut microbiome by increasing beneficial bacteria.
