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.
