Nutrition is a factor that longevity doctors and researchers commonly point to as key to good health and wellness. As it pertains to diet, some experts say they prioritize antioxidants and add leafy greens to just about every meal. While others focus specifically on reducing or avoiding whole categories, like gluten and ultra-processed foods. And they often encourage their patients to do the same.
But Dr. Simon Feldhaus, a doctor with 30 years of experience who has studied longevity for about half that time, has a much different approach.
“I hate diets. There’s too much discussion about diet,” he tells CNBC Make It.
Feldhaus is also the president of the Swiss Society for Anti Aging Medicine and Prevention and the chief medical doctor of The Balance Rehab Clinic’s Swiss Hub.
“I personally think there is no healthy diet,” he adds.
