Real insight. Real food. Real change—based on your own biology
Located in the Aegean Sea is the Greek island of Ikaria, named by some as “The Island Where People Forget to Die.” The inhabitants of this island are renowned for their exceptional health and longevity, many living well into their 100s while still living a vibrant and active lifestyle. Does their secret lie only in the genetics of the islanders, or is there something more, something about how they live life, a longevity lifestyle?
The Challenge: Modern Health Hurdles
If it is possible in places such as Ikaria, why is it not more common here? Many of us face obstacles that hinder our ability to live long, healthy lives. We grapple with:
Diets filled with quick, convenient, but nutrient-poor foods
Misleading promises of fad diets and supplements
Marketing that promotes foods leaving us feeling fatigued and unhealthy
As a physician and father myself I asked the same question: Why don't we have more people living active vibrant lives into their hundreds where I live? We live in a time where there is unparalleled medical advancement, and the average span of life is greater now than in centuries passed. But it seems that many people are living in poorer and poorer states of health as they age.
When I turned 40, I found myself in the same state as many people; gaining weight without any changes to my eating or exercise habits, feeling fatigued far too early in the day, and wishing I had more energy reserve to play with my kids instead of deferring to family movie night because it felt more comfortable.
It was around this time I was introduced to the idea of what I call the longevity lifestyle. A lifestyle, a way of eating, living, and interacting with people in my environment which naturally leads toward increased health and vitality, even into advanced years.
I became this obsessed with looking not at the latest medical test, biohacks, or podcaster who claimed they have unlocked the secrets to the human genome, but instead looked back in time, to the time-honored traditions held by many cultures whose lifestyles lead them toward greater length and quality of life.
Instead of looking at how to manipulate the body to squeeze every extra ounce of life and vitality as we can, I looked instead at how we can change our environments and develop a sustainable, enlivening, health promoting way of being. To establish not just hacks but a whole lifestyle that builds longevity.

Introducing the Solution:
The Glucose Optimization Series
As this lifestyle evolved I came to learn much more about the importance of optimizing blood sugar in our lives. Chronically elevated blood sugar, and the associated chronically elevated insulin that it brings about, is at the heart of many if not most chronic diseases that lead to an early demise.
Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, kidney disease, obesity, and even premature wrinkles, arthritis and aging all have strong associations with elevated insulin. The best way to control insulin is to optimize blood sugar spikes in your blood. The best way to decrease blood sugar spikes is exactly what we teach in the Longevity Lifestyle Masterclass - Glucose Optimization course.
Our five-week masterclass is designed to help you naturally regulate your blood sugar and manage insulin levels. This course teaches you time-tested nutritional practices supported by modern research and technology. It has very much to do with natural, whole food practices, and very little to do with the latest miracle drug. Some of the key principles are deceptively simple and can be easily adopted from day one but they have the more profound effects.
We are not biohacking the genome or finding the one weird trick that your doctor doesn’t want you to know. We are applying glucose moderating, life-improving nutrition based upon sustainable practices and traditional foods that are palatable, easy to prepare, and readily available in most places. If you're seeking a natural approach to health that leaves you energized and satisfied, this course offers practical strategies that are simple, sustainable, and enjoyable.
A temporary diet trend for rapid weight loss
A sales pitch for expensive supplements
A complex regimen involving processed foods
This course is different from different courses and sources to encourage lifestyle changes. First, the longevity lifestyle master class is designed with longevity in mind. My goal is not to make you ripped, jacked, or shredded. Those are all nice side effects but the way to develop that kind of body physique often is not sustainable. It requires a great amount of time in the gym, great expenditures of energy and motivation to keep it up. It also requires great amounts of time developing specialized, heavily meat-based recipes that are not sustainable for you. The goal of this course is to help you develop a lifestyle that will give you added length to your years and a greater quality of life. This is not meant to give you the physique of a 30-year-old bodybuilder. Easy implementation into your current lifestyle and a lifestyle that can be done just as easily now as in your 80s and 90s is the goal.
This course is also different in that you're offered immediate feedback by way of the continuous glucose monitor. You never have to wonder if something will be affecting your blood sugar and thereby your insulin. Many products that are proclaimed to be carb friendly or keto friendly still have a profound effect on blood sugar and by extension a profound increase in insulin. This course helps you cut through the crap. You don't need to take anyone's word that a food is healthy or that it will have a minimal effect on your blood sugar, you can see in real time what certain foods do to your blood sugar. Armed with this knowledge you can make wiser lifestyle choices which lead toward a longer more health-filled life.
Additionally, this course does not have hundreds of dollars of supplements recommended that you take. This is not a course that is based on an ever-changing field of nutrition discovery which may prove to be exciting and beneficial one week and the next week completely debunked. This course is founded on traditional diets and nutrition approaches that have been crafted over centuries by people who knew that something was good by how it affected how they felt. You are not stepping into a bold New Frontier of questionable nutrition practices, rather you are applying time-honored nutrition and eating practices that have shown to be safe and sustainable that you can also see have profound improvements on your blood sugar.
We want you to adopt a lifestyle of delicious, enjoyable, whole food nutrition that as a result will decrease glucose spikes in the body, and the associated insulin elevation. Over time this can lead to chronic disease and adverse health outcomes like heart disease, kidney disease, mental degeneration, and premature signs of aging.
Each week builds on the last, starting with the basics of how blood sugar affects your energy, inflammation, and long-term health. You’ll learn to manage glucose spikes naturally, without giving up the foods you love.
Key benefits include:
Time-Honored Practices: Embrace dietary strategies that promote health and longevity.
Personalized Feedback: Gain insights into how your diet affects your glucose and insulin levels, tailored to your body.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Use a CGM during specified weeks to track your responses and optimize dietary choices.
Clear Guidance: Understand how different foods impact your body and learn to make informed choices.
Motivation and Support: Engage in a supportive learning environment that enhances motivation and enjoyment.
Balanced Eating: Enjoy your meals, including glucose-friendly desserts, while optimizing your glucose levels.
More than just living longer, this course will teach you how to develop a lifestyle and that leads toward greater vitality and everything that it entails. Increased energy, better physique, sustainable nutrition practices, and many other things naturally develop as we optimize our blood sugar levels through adopting a longevity lifestyle.
The goal of this is not a 5-week crash course and fad diet which will be thrown aside as soon as the course has ended. The goal of it is to offer lifestyle changing information in bite size pieces that are able to be absorbed. By going in depth over multiple weeks you learn not just how to adopt a better lifestyle but you learn it at a pace that is easily applicable. The course is designed to be administered in small groups to give you support and to facilitate discussions rather than just being lectured at.
As a medical physician with over 10 years of clinical practice, I know the science behind the longevity lifestyle. I have worked with many hundreds of patients to help them adopt a better lifestyle and live in less pain and with more vitality. More than this, however, I have a personal experience and deep passion for this coursework.
I myself was on the track that most people find themselves on. When I turned 40 years old, I noticed that my weight slowly started to trend upward, my belly started to slowly trend forward, and my energy was in a steady state of decline. I had not changed anything with regards to my diet or activity level, but something about turning 40 caused my metabolism to decrease.
Since learning about and adopting the longevity lifestyle I have since returned to my pre 40-year-old weight. I have more muscle, more energy, and a smaller belly. I can speak personally to the effectiveness of the longevity lifestyle Master Class because it has made a difference in my own life. One of the things I find most gratifying about it is that it is not something that takes a great deal of time to Institute.
It does take some planning and forethought, but there are no extensive supplements to purchase, there are no unnatural hyper processed foods to consume. The course is based on traditional wisdom of many cultures and traditional foods that have profound health benefits.
Adopting a longevity lifestyle is like getting into shape. While self-education is useful, working with an expert provides the best results. The live Longevity Lifestyle Masterclass offers updated insights, essential tools like CGMs, and live Q&A sessions for personalized guidance. Dr. Chris Edwards leads small-group coaching, ensuring you receive expert support and real-time feedback for a transformative health journey.
This isn’t just another diet; it’s a lifestyle redesign rooted in timeless nutrition and real-time data. Dr. Edwards developed this course from personal experience, discovering how even “healthy” foods could negatively impact his blood sugar. Through this masterclass, you’ll learn to make adjustments that significantly enhance your health, naturally.
Now, this all sounds very good, but you're probably wondering what does it cost? The cost is very marginal compared with the value that you receive. Recall this is not a 5-week fad diet this is an investment in your future.
The course, priced at just $250, represents an invaluable investment in your future. For just $30 a week, you gain access to comprehensive lectures and essential tools like glucose monitors that promise not only to enhance your life but also benefit your family’s wellbeing.
