The impact of stress has been one of those things that’s surprising in its effect size. It’s something that most people would consider as the main intervention for longevity.”“Reducing stress is incredibly impactful.” “We know physical activity is impactful but it’s not the same effect size as things like BMI or stress.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Ryan Smith:LinkedInTruDiagnosticSay hi to the AGEIST team!
