The Longevity Blueprint - Part 2: Diet, Ego & the Truth About Longevity in BJJ | EP 49

In this episode, Dave shares the second half of his two-part series on longevity in sports, focusing on his final two "secret laws." He calls out the importance of diet that sees beyond simple terms like  "processed" and "natural" , and offers practical guidance on what, how much, and when to eat, including insights on portion control, eating slowly, and intermittent fasting. He then turns to attitude, exploring how taming your ego, adapting your training as you age, and staying mentally youthful are essential for longevity in BJJ and beyond. Drawing on personal stories from decades on the mat, Dave closes with wisdom on building habits that create a "pull towards health," reminding listeners that small, consistent actions compound over time to shape a stronger, more resilient future self.Topics & People Mentioned2009 University of Oxford obesity study: Moderate obesity takes years off life expectancy2023 Harvard meal-timing study: Late-Night Eating Impact – Harvard Medical Schoolhms.harvard16:8 intermittent fasting protocol: Harvard Meal Timing Study detailshms.harvardDan Millman (author): Official website – The Peaceful Warrior's WaMusic “Disambiguation” by Robel Borja https://open.spotify.com/artist/7j0DUZ79z4edeLkU2H1UoJ?si=eISl0YfaQ-yLThljs48j5AGet in touch!
