In this episode, entrepreneur and longevity finance expert John Sabes joins Coach Woody to explore the powerful intersection of money, mindset, and health—and why real wealth is about more than just your bank account.
With over 35 years of experience in the financial industry and a passion for longevity science, John shares why understanding your financial literacy is just as critical as understanding your DNA—and how both shape your odds of living a longer, healthier, happier life.
Together, John and Coach Woody explore:
✅ The link between financial wellness and lifespan
✅ Why financial literacy is a form of self-care
✅ How most retirement planning is built on outdated models
✅ What the Blue Zones teach us about true wealth
✅ The difference between being financially rich and living a wealthy life
✅ How gene expression and epigenetics impact your future health
✅ Why “investing” in health today reduces future expenses
✅ How to compound physical, financial, and emotional well-being—on purpose
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to redefine wealth on their own terms. Whether you’re 28 or 58, John’s insights will challenge the way you think about retirement, happiness, and what it means to live a truly rich life.
