How can you leverage positive thinking and simple lifestyle habits to change your biological age by a decade?

In this episode, I talked with Jon Sabes, a longevity researcher and entrepreneur. He has worked with biomarkers of aging and health for the life insurance industry. Jon shares how his mother's passing shaped his book, Healthy Wealthy Longevity. I learned about the connection between positive thinking, physical activity, and gene expression through epigenetics. We discussed the importance of mastering the basics: eating whole foods, consistent movement, connection, and purpose. I also asked Jon how tackling difficult physical challenges builds mental resilience and self-belief.

Key takeaways

• Lifestyle is a powerful driver of longevity: Lifestyle habits strongly influence gene expression (epigenetics).

• Reprogramming the subconscious is key to health: Override negative thought narratives by intentionally inputting "brain food" (positive psychology) combined with exercise, which can drive positive gene expression.

• Build mental resilience: Challenging physical activity creates a mental muscle of resiliency, helping overcome negative self-talk and building proof of capability.

• Focus on the basics before biohacking: Prioritize holistic lifestyle—eating whole foods, constant movement, connecting with others, and having purpose—as these cover 80% of health and longevity needs.

• The Blue Zones teach the value of community and purpose: Populations living long, happy lives prioritize strong community and purpose, often without being financially rich.

• Biological age can be measured: Epigenetic biomarkers (DNA methylation patterns derived from a blood test) can reveal a biological age that is older or younger than chronological age. Jon's biological age is about 10 years younger than his chronological age.Healthy & Wealthy Longevity? Ft. Jon Sabes

• Use prompt journaling: A daily practice of prompt journaling helps self-coach, set intentions, and maintain focus on goals, fostering gratitude and daily improvement.
