What if your calendar age isn’t the true measure of how old you really are? And could simple lifestyle choices actually slow down the aging of your cells?

In this episode of Me&My Health Up, Anthony Hartcher sits down with Dr. Bill Bruno—board-certified plastic surgeon turned longevity advocate—to unpack what it really takes to live longer and feel better doing it. Dr. Bruno introduces his Longevity Pyramid and explains why sleep, nutrition, and exercise form the true foundation of a longer, healthier life.

You’ll learn why the old mantra “eat less, move more” doesn’t work, how to reframe aging as something you can influence, and which lifestyle choices have the biggest impact on your health span, not just your lifespan.

In this episode, we explore:

Why sleep is the most critical pillar of longevity

The truth about protein and muscle as you age

How to avoid ultra-processed foods

Why VO₂ max is one of the strongest predictors of life expectancy

Simple, practical steps to optimize your health span

If you’re ready to challenge outdated health advice and take control of how you age, this episode will change how you think about longevity—starting today. 🎧

About Dr. Bill Bruno

Dr. Bill Bruno is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills who has performed over 6,000 procedures specializing in breast and body contouring. Nearly a decade ago, a heart health scare became his turning point — shifting his focus from aesthetics to longevity and preventive medicine.

Instead of relying solely on pharmaceuticals, Dr. Bruno embraced lifestyle transformation through nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress management. This journey ignited his passion for wellness and inspired him to launch a digital longevity course and virtual coaching program, helping others improve body composition and health span through sustainable, science-backed practices.

Today, Dr. Bruno challenges conventional medical advice with cutting-edge insights, guiding people to reframe aging not as an inevitability, but as an opportunity to thrive. His mission is clear: empower individuals to take control of their health and extend both their years and their quality of life.
