Dr. David Luu Featured in Vogue España: 3 Longevity Habits for Mindful, Stress-Free Mornings

On March 24, 2025, Vogue España published a standout article spotlighting longevity expert Dr. David Luu, titled:
“A Longevity Expert’s 3 Small Habits for Mindful Mornings (and Less Stressful Days)”

‍
Written by Ana Morales and art directed by Cecilia Alvarez-Hevia Arias (Octubre Estudio), the piece dives into Dr. Luu’s philosophy of starting slow, finishing slow, and being productive in between.

As a leading voice in longevity and wellness optimization, Dr. Luu shared his practical and research-based morning routine, designed to lower cortisol levels, reduce anxiety, and enhance long-term health.

“We always have time to make time,” Dr. Luu explains. “Going to bed earlier, reducing screen time, or simply waking up 30 minutes earlier can rewire your nervous system and protect your well-being.”

Here are the 3 core habits from Dr. Luu’s slow morning routine, as featured in Vogue:

1. A Coffee with Intention

Dr. Luu begins his day with a carefully prepared cup of coffee and exposure to natural morning light to align his circadian rhythm. Instead of immediately checking emails or social media, he sets the tone with journaling or reflection, framing the day with intention.

2. Energize the Body

Whether it’s 6:30 a.m. hot yoga or a short walk, Dr. Luu recommends activating the muscles, brain, and cardiorespiratory system through movement. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing or stretching can dramatically lower stress and inflammation.

3. Strengthen Social Connection

“Even a brief conversation with someone you care about can boost your mood,” Dr. Luu says. From walking his son to school with his wife to sharing a good morning message with loved ones, prioritizing emotional connection in the morning supports both mental and physical health.

Dr. Luu’s slow morning ritual is a refreshing reminder that longevity starts with consistency in small, meaningful habits. His approach merges cutting-edge science with human simplicity—making it accessible for anyone, anywhere.

“A mindful morning isn't about perfection,” Dr. Luu adds. “It's about presence, intention, and investing in yourself before the world gets loud.”
