The simple health habits of top longevity doctors and scientists, who follow the science not trends

• Business Insider's Rising Stars of Longevity 2026 keep it simple when it comes to staying healthy.

• They stick to the basics like eating and sleeping well.

• One said exercise is more powerful than any supplement stack.

We asked some of the top doctors, scientists, and investors in longevity for their approach to living a long and healthy life — and there wasn't an expensive supplement or unregulated peptide in sight.

Instead, they stick to evidence-backed basics like eating healthy, sleeping well, and exercising regularly.

The experts were all named Business Insider Rising Stars of Longevity on Monday, for their commitment to finding solutions to health problems linked to aging. (With one exception: Andrea Maier, who was part of the expert judging panel for her important work in this space).
