In fact, 18 medical experts that have appeared on this podcast have said the number one thing you have to do for better health, for longevity, for happiness, it's exercise. That's the number one habit. And let me be clear about something. I'm not talking about losing weight. This isn't about pushing some kinda workout or chasing the perfect body. We're gonna talk about how exercise is the single best habit that will help you be healthy, that will help you feel great as you age, that will help you have a longer life. It's gonna help you effectively beat disease. Exercise is how you create the energy so you can show up for yourself and your life. Exercise helps you become more focused at work. Exercise is gonna help you be more connected with yourself and others. Every expert, I'm talking every single one, even the psychologists say the same thing. Exercise, it's not optional. You're designed to move, and I think you know this. Sometimes you have to hear it and you have to hear it from somebody who is so well-respected and just has a way of talking about it, and you also need to be told you don't have to spend 60 minutes doing this. I can't wait 'til you hear the prescription.... of what to actually do to get the benefits of exercise immediately. Because the fact is, the most reliable, most effective thing that you can do to boost your mood, protect your heart, sharpen your brain, and add quality years to your life, can I get an amen? This is the baseline. You wanna feel better? You gotta start here. Move your body. Because every world-class medical expert and researcher that I talk to says the same thing, including the single most respected scientist in the entire world. I'm talking about none other than Dr. Eric Topol. Check out the credentials on Dr. Topol. Dr. Topol is in the top 10 most cited medical experts alive today. His work has over 365,000 scientific citations. Let that sink in. 365,000. Dr. Topol is a pioneering cardiologist, a longevity expert. He's the founder of Scripps Research and a leader in genomics, AI, and precision medicine. His latest New York Times bestseller is called SuperAgers. That book and his research in the book, research he's about to share with you, has been endorsed by five Nobel Prize winners. Your friend Mel Robbins, I'm not kidding around. I pulled in the heavies today, even though we're gonna make this simple. And based on 30-plus years of research, Dr. Topol can boil down health to this. Exercise is the one thing that helps it all. And, you know, I'm about to bring Dr. Eric Topol on, and I really wanna set up what you're about to hear, because world-renowned Dr. Eric Topol has crunched all the data and research on this, and even he is startled by the findings. He's about to explain to you that exercise is the single habit that can reverse your biological age. Take a listen.
