The Science of Aging Well: Diet, Breathwork & What Actually Works | Dr. David Cox

Alveos One is a wearable for breathing measurement and real-time nervous system regulation. 👉 Learn more: https://alveoslabs.com What actually helps us live healthier for longer — and how much of the modern longevity conversation is just hype? In this episode, Patrick sits down with Dr. David Cox, neuroscientist, health journalist and author of The Age Code, to explore what the science really tells us about aging, nutrition, breathing and preventative health. David explains why lung capacity may be an overlooked marker of healthy aging, how breathwork could influence stress and inflammation, and why the science of breathing is still surprisingly young. The conversation also explores the growing problem of health misinformation and how to tell promising research from exaggerated claims. They dive into some of the practical lessons David uncovered while researching The Age Code: why eating earlier may matter more than we think, the surprising role of AGEs and cooking methods, micronutrients such as magnesium and B vitamins, dietary acid load, fiber, omega-3s, sleep, exercise and the future of health wearables. They also challenge some popular longevity ideas — from extreme keto and carnivore diets to protein obsession and the dream of living to 150 — and discuss why the real goal may be much simpler: staying healthy for as much of your life as possible.
