I'm Rufus Griscomb. And I'm Caleb Bissinger. And this is the next big idea. Today, six simple rules for living a long and healthy life. Caleb, I don't think that you and I can be accused of being perfect specimens of health.

Yeah, I would never accuse you of that. Okay, fair point. I cannot be accused of being a perfect specimen of health, but I have made some progress, thanks in large part to conversations that we've had on the show. Yes, conversations with folks like Tim Spector, Casey Means, Eric Topel. And now Ezekiel Emanuel, better known as Zeke.

Zeke is an incredible guy. He's an oncologist. He's the chair of the medical ethics department at Penn. He works in the Obama White House. He's one of the chief architects of the Affordable Care Act.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
