From April 26th to May 4th, I embarked on a new fitness goal. My goal was to attack a detailed training plan at the gym and a detailed diet plan in the kitchen so I could see how much muscle mass I could put on in 10 weeks.

My goal was to add 3-8 lbs of muscle in 10 weeks and I ended up adding 5lbs of muscle. Today I’m going to break down how I went about the goal-setting process, what kind of training plan I followed, and what exactly I ate to make this happen.

How can you turn on your longevity genes?

During this episode you’re going to learn how you can change your own genes? Not change the genes themselves but change which genes are turned on and which ones are turned off so that you can live longer and live healthier for longer.

Hannah Went is a molecular biologist who is changing what it means to age well. Hannah used to work for the International Peptide Society as their Director of Research and Content. Then, she saw an opportunity for methylation based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020.

Since TruDiagnostic’s inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 75,000 patients tested to date. Hannah has since created Everything Epigenetics where she shares insights on how DNA regulation has an impact on your health.

In this episode Hannah ranks the top 4 habits that will help you live longer and the top one isn’t what you’d think - it’s not nutrition or exercise.

Hannah also takes us through her daily routine and tells us what habits she does and what supplements she takes to ensure a long healthy life.

If you care about your long term health, don’t miss this episode.
