Muslim men across Western countries are silently battling a health epidemic. From skyrocketing diabetes rates to dangerously high levels of central obesity, these issues aren’t just medical—they’re spiritual and societal. Genetics, sedentary jobs, cultural eating habits, and chronic stress collide to create a perfect storm. But within our own faith lie the solutions: fasting during Ramadan, the movements of Salat, and a return to disciplined, prophetic living. It's time for Muslim men to reclaim their strength—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

In the Longevity Roundtable hosted by Peter Attia, a group of leading experts in aging and geroscience explore the most pressing questions around human lifespan, healthspan, and the future of aging interventions. One of the most debated topics is whether aging itself should be classified as a disease. While consensus leans toward aging being a risk factor rather than a disease, redefining it as such could open doors for funding and medical innovation.

The conversation emphasizes the critical distinction between lifespan (how long we live) and healthspan (how well we live). In the U.S., lifespan may be increasing, but healthspan is declining, with more people spending the final years of life in poor health. This underlines the urgency for preventative strategies, such as targeted lifestyle interventions and evidence-backed therapeutics like rapamycin, metformin, and senolytics.

The roundtable also delves into the challenge of measuring aging. While tools like epigenetic clocks and inflammatory biomarkers are emerging, no gold standard exists yet. Still, the potential of this field is immense. With AI-driven drug discovery, cellular reprogramming, and increased private investment, we’re at the edge of a major shift—one that could redefine not just how long we live, but how vibrant those years can be.

The biggest takeaway? Longevity science isn't just about living longer—it’s about living better. And it starts with understanding aging at its core, investing in foundational research, and embracing a lifestyle that optimizes both body and mind.

In one of the most powerful episodes of The Shawn Ryan Show, human biologist Gary Brecka delivers a compelling breakdown of health, longevity, and disease prevention—without big pharma interference. I watched the episode, took extensive notes, and now I’m sharing the most important takeaways with you.

“Our goal shouldn’t just be to add years to our life—but to add life to our years.”
– Gary Brecka

From the power of sunlight, grounding, and hydrogen water to understanding why 67% of the American diet is processed, Brecka makes it clear: optimal health is rooted in simplicity. He reveals how muscle mass isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s the body’s biggest glucose sponge, lowering blood sugar naturally and preventing insulin resistance.

We also explore:

• Why sleep and movement are the two most powerful tools for longevity

• How vitamin D3 deficiency is misdiagnosed as autoimmune disorders

• The real cause of cardiovascular disease (hint: it's not cholesterol)

• What the MTHFR gene mutation means for your mental health

• Why 77% of young Americans are unfit for military service

• How your gut health affects anxiety, depression, and cognition

And yes—we unpack his complete natural supplement stack, the truth about mRNA vaccines, and how our healthcare system profits from disease rather than prevention.
