EP 104: Longevity Isn’t in Your Diet — It’s in Your Mind
Welcome to Episode 104 of Your Ultimate Comeback!
In this eye-opening conversation, Brad and Raquel reveal what might be the biggest overlooked key to longevity — managing chronic stress.
We’ve all heard that diet, exercise, and genetics matter… but new research (and wisdom from Blue Zones) shows that low-level stress might be the true deciding factor in how long — and how well — we live.
Brad explores how constant hustle culture and social comparison quietly sabotage our health, while Raquel brings in real-world mindfulness tools and reflections on living simply. Together, they discuss:
- The physiological damage caused by chronic stress
- The illusion of success and how to find genuine peace
- Why connection, purpose, and play beat over-optimization
- How hydration, sleep, and slowing down can reset your biology
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still running on fumes, this episode is your wake-up call to redefine health — from the inside out.
