Ep 27: The Toms talk longevity
Thursday Feb 06, 2025
Thursday Feb 06, 2025
It's time for another Toms Talk episode and this week we're talking about one of our favourite topics - longevity.
We delve into the topic of longevity, exploring personal experiences, mindset, and the importance of social connections. We discuss how mindset influences physical health, the significance of reflection and planning for the future, and the role of small habit changes in promoting well-being.
The conversation also highlights the importance of social connections and setting boundaries to maintain a healthy work-life balance, ultimately encouraging listeners to take action towards a longer, healthier life.
Lots to think about, and hopefully some good takeaways. Enjoy!
