2848: The #1 Longevity Factor Nobody Talks About (It's Not the Gym)

Sal presents the actual data on what extends your life — and daily movement (not your workouts) tops the list at a staggering 47–70% lower all-cause mortality. The guys break down cardio, strength, diet, and stress by the numbers, plus why community might be the multiplier nobody's tracking. Q&A: priming vs. stretching, post-pregnancy programming, and ACL rehab for the knees. Intro includes HBO's "Neighbors," gut-health fart sensors, dead scientists, and one of Adam's best worst parenting moments.
