Description

We’ve all heard the advice: squeeze a stress ball to strengthen your grip and improve longevity. But the truth is, there’s much more to the story. In this video, I break down what grip strength really tells us about our health — and why it’s not just about your hands. Good grip strength reflects muscle mass, neuromuscular function, and independence as we age. That means the real path forward isn’t squeezing something on the couch — it’s building whole-body strength, eating nutrient-dense foods, getting quality sleep, and creating sustainable habits.
I’ll share:
✔️ Why grip strength is linked to longevity
✔️ How muscle mass, not gadgets, drives better outcomes
✔️ The role of nutrition, exercise, and recovery in healthy aging
✔️ Practical ways to strengthen your body for long-term health Longevity isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about doing the fundamentals properly — and consistently. Join me as we go beyond the stress ball and into the bigger picture of living well for the long run.
