Healthy Aging Secrets From a 93-Year-Old Marathoner with Augie Leone #98

Is it possible to age backwards? There has been a huge focus throughout the entire history of human civilization on extending life and living better. But is it possible? In many ways it is and here to share more about this is Augie Leone. He’s sharing his healthy aging secrets and how at 93 his body is younger than ever. 

Augie became very interested in health and wellness after he retired in 1987. He’d enjoyed running in his younger years, but after he retired it became a passion and, in his words, an obsession. What he found though, was that the better he ate, the more he could run. 

Enter - the Nutritarian diet. This is a way of eating that focuses on the most highly nutrient dense foods to help support and regulate the body. At first, it wasn’t easy getting his wife on board with the regimen. 

There are only so many foods you can eat within this lifestyle.

But Augie learned how to prepare the foods and took over the menu and shopping and now neither he nor his dear wife would ever switch back. They both feel better than they ever have and are avid cruisers. 

Listen as Augie shares more about the Nutritarian lifestyle, his success in running, why he believes it’s so important to have dreams, and what he’s looking forward to in the coming years.
