Longevity isn’t just about adding years to life—it’s about adding life to those years. At the heart of lasting vitality are the often-overlooked essentials: deep social connection, a clear sense of purpose, and a mindset filled with optimism. These emotional and relational foundations are just as critical as what’s happening inside the body. Thanks to emerging diagnostics and the growing field of functional and longevity medicine, we now have the ability to detect subtle shifts in biology—long before symptoms arise—giving us the chance to course-correct with personalized strategies. By combining cutting-edge science with time-tested lifestyle practices like nourishing food, regular movement, restful sleep, and meaningful relationships, we can not only slow the aging process but begin to reverse it—unlocking a future where growing older means growing stronger, wiser, and more vibrant. In this episode, I explore, along with Peter Diamandis and Dr. Jeffrey Bland the keys to living a longer, healthier life by combining cutting-edge longevity science with the power of mindset, purpose, and meaningful connection.  Peter Diamandis is the founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions. He was recently named by Fortune as one of the “World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.” He is also the executive founder of Singularity University, a graduate-level Silicon Valley institution that counsels the world's leaders on exponentially growing technologies. Dr. Jeff Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature’s greatest innovations—the immune system. Through Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of Immuno-Rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of ancient food crops and superfoods. To get there, he is building a network of small farms and suppliers throughout the US that take a clear stance on regenerative agriculture, environmental stewardship, and planetary health. Dr. Bland’s career in health spans more than 40 years. A nutritional biochemist by training, he began in academia as a university professor. He then spent three decades in the natural products industry, working alongside other pioneers. A lifelong educator, Dr. Bland has traveled the world many times over in his role as the “father of functional medicine.” In 1991, he and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2012, he founded another educational nonprofit called the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute. Dr. Bland is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as countless additional books and research papers.
