The speaker argues that true health isn't about living longer but about presence and equanimity, not being trapped in false stories about the past or future. A simple breathing technique can instantly calm your nervous system and give you control over your state.
What's the ultimate health flex? 2 things: presence and equanimity. Everyone's talking about living longer. Yeah, that's great, but are you stuck somewhere in the past or stuck somewhere in the future? What I actually teach people how to do is how to breathe when they're not doing breathwork. It's literally something that puts you in control in the moment. That's the fastest way to relax your nervous system.

How does someone get into that mindfulness?
