Aging well starts with how you treat your body every day. In Episode 930 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes joins Dr. Sanjeev Goel to explore three longevity principles: building resilience through stress, understanding cycles of growth and breakdown, and working with your body's natural rhythms. They connect these ideas to fasting, exercise, food choices, and sleep. You'll also hear why fasting insulin matters, what biological age tests measure, and where peptide hype gets ahead of the evidence. Learn to think beyond quick fixes and build habits that support a longer, healthier life.
