Thank you to everyone who attended the 2026 reunion on June 27th! It was such a memorable evening and we have not only everyone who worked on the reunion to thank, but everyone who attended.

A study published in eClinicalMedicine followed nearly 60,000 adults and found that the key may lie in a few everyday habits—

To gain one additional year of lifespan, a combined dose of only five extra minutes of sleep per day, two minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and about half a serving of vegetables or 1.5 servings of whole grains per day was sufficient.

The largest gains came from combining high physical activity—40 to 100 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per day; moderate sleep—seven to eight hours per night; and a high-quality diet—regularly including vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and fish. Together, these factors were associated with an additional nine years of lifespan and health span, compared with the group with the worst habits.

“This isn’t just about living longer; it’s about nearly a decade more of life free from chronic disease,” Dr. Sunil Kumar, a lifestyle medicine physician, told The Epoch Times.

Making small changes offers a practical and sustainable way to improve both lifespan and health span, especially for people who may lack the time, motivation, or financial resources to make major lifestyle changes.

“This study reinforces that lifestyle medicine is not ‘alternative’—it is a compelling, evidence-based intervention for chronic disease prevention,” he said.

The last piece of the puzzle of weight loss, from my experience, is accountability.
This can be done in various ways.
One way to be accountable to yourself is to do a food journal. Again, there are apps that can help, but when I did SOTA we just printed out a new paper one for each week, and took a picture of it to send in at our weekly check in. For them, we had to be as specific as we could, weighing our meat protein at lunch and dinner, counting the ounces of water we drank, putting down the exercise we did, as well as the time of day we had each meal or snack.
Next, I would say it’s easier if you have someone doing it with you. It was very helpful to have more wife on the same page as me as far as the meals we had together, and the food we had around the house that may or may not tempt us to stray from the plan. If you don’t have anyone, hopefully we can create a supportive group here, or you can just DM one of our classmates to become your confidant.
Lastly, set a goal, and realize everyone’s weight-loss journey is their best own. Men average 2-3 pounds per week, women 1-2. You may have bigger weeks, and weeks where you do everything right, but you don’t see a difference. Don’t get discouraged. Having your goal, and a good reason behind the goal, will help you get there.
