How can you leverage positive thinking and simple lifestyle habits to change your biological age by a decade?

 

In this episode, I talked with Jon Sabes, a longevity researcher and entrepreneur. He has worked with biomarkers of aging and health for the life insurance industry. Jon shares how his mother's passing shaped his book, Healthy Wealthy Longevity. I learned about the connection between positive thinking, physical activity, and gene expression through epigenetics. We discussed the importance of mastering the basics: eating whole foods, consistent movement, connection, and purpose. I also asked Jon how tackling difficult physical challenges builds mental resilience and self-belief.

 

Key takeaways

  • Lifestyle is a powerful driver of longevity: Lifestyle habits strongly influence gene expression (epigenetics).

  • Reprogramming the subconscious is key to health: Override negative thought narratives by intentionally inputting "brain food" (positive psychology) combined with exercise, which can drive positive gene expression.

  • Build mental resilience: Challenging physical activity creates a mental muscle of resiliency, helping overcome negative self-talk and building proof of capability.

  • Focus on the basics before biohacking: Prioritize holistic lifestyle—eating whole foods, constant movement, connecting with others, and having purpose—as these cover 80% of health and longevity needs.

  • The Blue Zones teach the value of community and purpose: Populations living long, happy lives prioritize strong community and purpose, often without being financially rich.

  • Biological age can be measured: Epigenetic biomarkers (DNA methylation patterns derived from a blood test) can reveal a biological age that is older or younger than chronological age. Jon's biological age is about 10 years younger than his chronological age.Healthy & Wealthy Longevity? Ft. Jon Sabes

  • Use prompt journaling: A daily practice of prompt journaling helps self-coach, set intentions, and maintain focus on goals, fostering gratitude and daily improvement.

So for anyone who hasn't heard of you or your work, can you just give us a little bit of background on who you are and what you're up to these days?

1:23.8

Sure. John Sabis, serial entrepreneur. My career has taken me all the way through longevity in

1:30.0

sort of a strange way. I've been in the financial services industry. I've been an ultra-distance

1:35.1

guy. I've done 5x Ironman stuff. I've done ultra trail running things. I ended up commercializing

molecular biomarkers of health and aging in

1:46.3

or on the life insurance industry. It's all self-taught. I'm a lawyer, financial services

1:51.7

guy who understands gene expression and biological aging. So go figure.

That's a unique niche. I don't think there's a lot of people who are fitting into that box.

2:01.4

Yeah, I think I am pretty unique that way for sure. And, you know, honestly, so my latest

venture is called longevity financial partners, again, working with and around this idea of

healthy aging and longevity in the financial services context. And in doing so, I wrote a book.

Originally, it was this idea, you know,
