In this mind-expanding episode of The Grateful Podcast, I sit down with Matt Eybs, founder of Zenith Health, Dartmouth-trained biomedical engineer, and longevity strategist, to explore how young people can optimize for a longer, more fulfilling life — starting right now.
We talk:
• The REAL science behind living to 120+
• Why VO2 max and HRV matter more than you think
• How to build a morning routine like a bioengineer
• Why purpose might be the most important longevity tool
• The truth about cold plunges, creatine, and supplements
Whether you’re 18 or 80, this episode will make you rethink everything about aging, energy, and what’s possible for your future.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
