Your 16-Week Roadmap to Longevity: An ED Physician's 5-Pillar Playbook

Welcome to the Season 1 finale of Overheard in the Emergency Room. There's no single ED case anchoring this episode. There are fourteen of them — every patien every story, every lesson we walked through across the season. And rather than introduce one more case and pretend it summarises a whole year of conversations, Dr Cois pulls everything into a single playbook.Five Tier 1 pillars - in the order that actually matters:1. A primary care physician who knows you and screens you (the single most evidence-backed longevity intervention in the literature).2. A whole-plant-predominant diet, with specific steps to build fibre and plant diversity.3. Exercise across three buckets — resistance training, cardiorespiratory fitness, and incidental movement.4. Sleep, treated like your Olympic sport, with four concrete steps.5. Stress management as a clinical skill, practised when calm.Plus a free 16-week Recapture Your Health roadmap PDF at DrCois.com — no email gate, no upsell.If you've been with us since Episode 1, thank you.
