Ep 74 | What do high-performing athletes and the rest of us have in common when it comes to longevity? Way more than you’d think.

I’m joined by sports dietitian and endurance coach Chris Newport to dig into the science of nutrition, genetics, and healthy aging—and how training like an athlete can actually help you live longer, feel stronger, and move better through every season of life.

We talk about protein, hydration, detox, and recovery, plus the small daily habits that keep your body performing well—whether you’re racing triathlons or just trying to keep up with a busy life. Chris shares what she’s learned about how your genes shape your nutrition needs, and why the most effective wellness routines aren’t about restriction—they’re about resilience and rhythm.

If you’ve ever wondered how to fuel your body for the long haul, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to race to win at wellness.
