Thrive25 Newsletter

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most contentious topics in longevity – nutrition. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of dietary choices and unveil our Thrive25-certified food plan: the 10-6-1.
Did you know that our individual responses to food are influenced by our unique biology, comprising 30 trillion cells and 30 trillion bacteria in our gut? This diversity underscores the imperfection of nutritional science, which is further compounded by the limitations of observational studies.
Rather than engaging in the endless debate between various diets, let's focus on the fundamentals of eating for longevity: what to eat, how much, and when.
Number one: Shift focus to what you should eat, emphasizing enjoyment over restrictive diets.
Number two: Prioritize the big picture, with 80% of dietary value from fundamental shifts.
So, what does the Thrive25 Nutrition Plan entail?
1. Stay hydrated with 10+ cups of water daily, essential for brain and muscle function.
2. Consume 6+ servings of whole fruits and vegetables to harness their abundant nutrients.
3. Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, ensuring optimal muscle maintenance and repair.
By adhering to this plan, you'll naturally steer clear of restrictive rules, allowing for a more sustainable and enjoyable approach to eating.
While our guide isn't exhaustive, it provides a solid foundation for healthy eating. We encourage you to embrace real, unprocessed foods, enjoying occasional indulgences without guilt.
