#Longevity #AntiAging #GLP1 #MetabolicHealth #Biohacking

You don't need a complicated longevity routine to start aging better — you need to know which habits actually move the needle. In this video, hospitalist and obesity medicine physician Dr. Mohammed Paika breaks down the evidence-based habits, blood work targets, and training principles that drive real energy, better labs, and a longer, stronger life.

In this video, you'll learn:
- The four free daily habits — grounding, breathwork, morning sunlight, and cold exposure — and the research behind each one
- The truth about cholesterol, triglycerides, and statins (and why one number on your lab report isn't the whole story)
- Why food quality matters more than which diet you follow, including an honest look at seed oils and GMOs
- Why muscle is your most powerful longevity organ, and the two benchmarks proven to predict how long you'll live
- The exact annual blood panel to ask your doctor for
- How all of this connects to metabolic health and GLP-1 medications
