“Drivers of Your Health and Longevity” is a compre “Drivers of Your Health and Longevity” is a comprehensive report outlining the 23 key modifiable factors that significantly influence a person’s health, lifespan, and overall well-being. It emphasizes that 19 out of these 23 drivers lie outside the traditional healthcare system, meaning most of what determines longevity comes from everyday habits and environmental conditions.
These drivers are grouped into major categories:
1. Physical Inputs
Covers diet, supplements, substance use, hydration, and their direct effects on disease risk, cognitive health, and mortality. Examples include fasting improving metabolic health, omega-3 protecting the brain and heart, and sleep duration affecting mortality.
2. Movement
Includes mobility and exercise. The report highlights that regular physical activity can extend life by 3–5 years, reduce mortality risk, and improve overall physical and mental function.
3. Daily Living
Encompasses social interaction, productive activities, content consumption, and hygiene. Strong social relationships, volunteering, and balanced media usage are linked to better physical and mental health.
4. Exposure
Focuses on nature, atmospheric conditions, light, noise, and environmental materials. Evidence shows that nature exposure, reduced pollution, sunlight, and safe environments contribute to better mental health, reduced stress, and lower mortality.
5. Stress
Explains how both positive (eustress) and chronic stress affects disease risk, cognitive function, and life expectancy.
6. State of Being
Includes mindsets, beliefs, body composition, physical security, and economic security. Optimism, gratitude, financial stability, and safety are shown to have strong physiological and psychological benefits.
7. Healthcare
Covers vaccination, early detection, treatment, and medication adherence. Effective healthcare interventions (e.g., vaccines, screening, treatments) significantly reduce mortality and improve survival rates.
📌 Overall Purpose of the Report
The document emphasizes that longevity is not determined primarily by genetics or medical care, but by daily choices, behaviors, and environmental exposures. By optimizing these 23 modifiable drivers, individuals can dramatically improve their health span and lifespan.
