Hustle Fades. Habits Compound.

Want to feel better in 10 years? Start with one of these, this week.

In partnership with

Build a Longevity Plan That Fuels Decades, Not Just Deadlines

Hey Friends,

We’ve both had seasons where it felt like momentum meant more work, more hustle, and less sleep. But lately, we’ve been asking: What are we actually building for? A good quarter or a good decade?

This week’s shift is one we’re working on ourselves: designing for longevity, not just deadlines. Because the habits that protect your energy long-term—sleep, movement, stress relief, and connection—aren’t add-ons. They’re multipliers.

Pick one. Make it frictionless. Then check in at the end of the week: Did it give you more to work with or just more to do?

Let’s build energy that compounds.

Tool We’re Watching: Superpower

We haven’t tested this one yet—but we’re paying close attention.
Superpower is building what might become the go-to platform for personalized health data, AI-driven lab tracking, and real-time biomarker insights. Think of it as a smarter dashboard for your health—without needing a second degree to understand your labs.

If you’re the kind of couple who wants data to drive your health decisions (and skip the guesswork), Superpower’s worth keeping an eye on. It might be early, but we think this one’s going to be big.

Superpower, 10x better than an annual check

Your annual checkup says you’re fine but you wake up feeling exhausted.

Superpower is different.

100+ lab tests (not the usual 15)
Tracking for life (not a one off snapshot)
24/7 Concierge team (not google)

It’s your health. Own it for $499.

🧠 This Week’s Shared Shift

Design for Decades, Not Just Deadlines

This week, you’re not adding a new “health thing.”
You’re reinforcing energy insurance—through repeatable, compounding habits that don’t expire when work ramps up.

Choose one:

  • 📈 Movement that reduces all-cause mortality

  • 💤 Sleep that sharpens cognitive output

  • 🧘🏽‍♀️ Stress habits that protect executive function

  • 🤝 Connection that extends lifespan

Test one. Track the ROI. Scale what sticks.

📊 Why It Works

Most longevity gains don’t come from breakthroughs.
They come from better basics.

🧪 Hard science:

  • 80% lower risk of chronic disease from foundational habits like movement, sleep, and stress management.
    → National Institute on Aging

  • Walking 8,000+ steps/day linked to 50% lower mortality risk.
    → Scientific Reports

  • Sleep deprivation lowers testosterone + impairs cognitive resilience in under 1 week.
    → Sleep Foundation

  • Strong relationships = longer lifespan + faster recovery after illness.
    → Harvard Health

These aren’t “wellness trends.” They’re high-return strategies backed by decades of evidence.

🤝 Do This Together

Pick one lever. Stack a habit. Then meet on Sunday to audit what worked.

Here’s how to start:

Habit Lever

Shared Strategy

SLEEP

Lights off by 10:30pm, no phone in bed

MOVEMENT

10-min walk post-dinner, together

STRESS

Box breathing (4-4-4-4) after meetings

CONNECTION

30-min check-in: What’s working? What’s draining?

Bonus: Make it frictionless. Link the new habit to an existing one.

⚡Customizing It to Your Level or Goal

Time-crunched or launching?

  • Choose habits that take < 10 minutes

  • Don’t optimize—standardize

  • Apply “stacking”: Layer the habit on top of something automatic (e.g., post-lunch walk, pre-bed breathwork)

Already consistent?

  • Upgrade your inputs: From walk to weighted vest

  • Use data: Track sleep scores, HRV, or resting HR

  • Make it competitive: Who closes the loop 7 days in a row?

💬 Couple’s Check-in Prompt

What kind of energy do we want in 10 years—and are we building for that now, or borrowing against it?

→ Follow-up: If the answer is “borrowing,” what’s one lever we can pull this week to start compounding again—without adding more to our plates?

📈 Momentum Marker

At the end of the week, ask:

Did this habit increase our energy or clarity—yes or no?
→ If yes: What made it stick? Double it.
→ If no: Where did friction show up? Replace it, don’t abandon the strategy.

What can we swap to make it easier to follow through?

🔁 TL;DR

→ Energy that scales = systems that compound

→ Movement, sleep, stress, and connection reduce disease risk by 80%

→ Choose one lever this week. Make it frictionless.

→ Review together: Did it work? If so, repeat.

🔁 FORWARD THIS TO A BUSY COUPLE
