My Healthspan Routine

About this video

Yurth walks through her personal healthspan routine while stressing it may not suit everyone and that practices such as fasting help some people but not others. She describes an exercise mix built around resistance training, interval work, longer lower-intensity cardio, and a dedicated flexibility day she argues is neglected for collagen health. She emphasizes eating substantial protein through the day, names a small set of supplements she considers broadly needed, and adds mitochondrial-focused supplements for herself. She says she cycles peptides, optimizes her own hormones and thyroid under medical care, and prioritizes sleep. She closes by discussing three approved drug classes she repurposes for vascular, metabolic, heart, brain, and kidney aims.

Key takeaways

• Copy principles, not a person’s exact routine, since Yurth prefaces hers by warning it may not fit you
• Include dedicated flexibility work alongside lifting and cardio, as Yurth argues it is neglected and matters more with age
• Keep protein intake a daily priority for muscle and healthspan, following Yurth’s emphasis throughout the routine
• Cycle rather than permanently stack peptides, as Yurth describes rotating them to mimic more youthful levels
• Ask a clinician about repurposing evidence before using approved drugs off-label, since Yurth’s examples are medical decisions, not supplements
