Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the ten things standing between you and a healthier life are this simple?Tony and Effi Kasandrinos sit down to walk through the ten habits they both try to live by every day, and they are refreshingly honest about which ones they have nailed and which ones they are still fighting for. No biohacking jargon, no extremes. Just the simple, repeatable things that actually move the needle.They get into walking before sunrise, the sleep number Tony's Oura ring revealed after months of tracking, a scary dehydration moment at Effi's daughter's soccer tournament, the canola oil hiding in the salad you thought was healthy, strength training that matters more as you age, the phone habits they both admit they are terrible at, mornings that actually start the night before, learning to say no, and the slow Greek way of eating and living that most of us have lost.Running through all ten is one idea Tony learned in the Marine Corps: consistency will beat motivation every single time. If you keep waiting to feel ready, you will keep starting over. These ten habits are simple, mostly free, and built to stack.
