That's quite well-known already. The real question here: how do we stop these shifts from happening?

When I look into my biohacker bubble, the answer might be: enough sleep, regular workout routine with HIIT, healthy whole foods, no alcohol, socializing

For you personally, maybe not, but statistically yes it does.

There are populations that consistently outlive and the only other thing I would add is stress removal in the form of relatively simple life styles.

If the populations that you're talking about are the famed "blue zones," then the most likely reason for it is poor record keeping: https://jheor.org/post/2682-ig-nobel-prize-winning-research-...

I think the population they were referring to were active individuals who work out a little, eat well, and don’t drink alcohol. I didn’t see any mention of geographic area.
