Eating Yourself Sick: The Longevity Diet We’re Ignoring | Celebrity Chef Ron Russell | The Gaslit Truth Podcast with Dr Teralyn Sell and Therapist Jenn Schmitz
Podcast:The Gaslit Truth Podcast Published On: Tue Sep 08 2026 Description: Send us Fan MailYou keep hearing that longevity is about pricey supplements, constant lab tests, and the latest biohacking gadget. We don’t buy it, and neither does our guest, Ron Russell, author of Longevity Visa and founder of LongevityVisa.com. Ron is also a longtime vegan chef who has cooked for clinical cardiology patients and taught hundreds of plant-based cooking classes, so he lives at the intersection of real-world food and longevity science.We start with a question most of us are quietly asking: if you want to eat for the health you want 20 years from now, what should be on your plate today? Ron makes the case for whole natural foods over ultra-processed convenience meals, then gets specific about high-impact staples like dark leafy greens, legumes, berries, and other anti-inflammatory foods. We also break down what “Blue Zones” actually are, what their diets have in common, and why the goal is health span, not just a longer life.Then we map out a practical longevity framework you can apply immediately: nutrition, fasting (including intermittent fasting), movement plus strength, and mind-body habits like stress management and gratitude. We talk sleep hygiene basics, why “genetics made me do it” is often a story we’ve been taught, and how budget-friendly foods like beans and lentils can make healthy eating more accessible than people think. If you want a simple, repeatable longevity plan that fits real life, this conversation is your starting line.Subscribe for more grounded health conversations, share this with a friend who’s overwhelmed by wellness advice, and leave a review so more people can find the show.We're recruiting for a first-of-its-kind psychiatric medication withdrawal research study.
