Hi... That fat question you've been wondering about...

In this week's newsletter:🌱 Plants win, again🦶 Feet for lifespan?

Plant Fat vs. Animal Fat

"A study of more than 400,000 people tracked for up to 24 years finds that those who got their dietary fat from plants versus animals had significantly lower odds of dying during the study period." (USNews)This may come as no surprise, if you've been following the diet trends of Blue Zone populations. Those who have plant heavy diets tend to live longer. This is true in Japan, Greece, Italy, Loma Linda, and even Costa Rica.We've talked about this extensively... especially in the personalized nutrition section of our Longevity 101 guide. 

But what about a custom diet plan for you? The reality is that every individual is different and each person's body is unique. When considering the best diet for your body - even if it prioritizes plant intake - a longevity doctor is one of the best ways to get your start. In addition to customized consulting, they can also run blood tests to see what kind of diet suits your body best. Plus, they can track progress and provide ongoing care suggestions to get you in the best health. To find a longevity doctor near you, just enter your location here. You'll be able to find a provider that fits you best. See ya,CodyFounder, Spannr
