BHRC CEO Sarah Gabriel Talks Longevity on KTLA: Why Being Your Best Self Beats “Forever Young”
With the new year inspiring fresh health goals for millions of Americans, KTLA recently invited Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center CEO Sarah Gabriel to share insights on the longevity movement and practical wellness strategies anyone can incorporate into their daily routine. The segment explored what longevity truly means, common misconceptions, and how to separate evidence-based practices from internet noise.
As longevity centers become increasingly popular across the country, Sarah offered viewers a refreshing perspective on aging well that moves beyond quick fixes and fad diets toward sustainable, holistic lifestyle changes.
Key Takeaways from Sarah Gabriel’s KTLA Interview
Longevity is a practice, not a promise of staying forever young:
- Focus on being your best self at every age rather than chasing youth
- Prioritize sustainable lifestyle changes over fad diets and 30-day challenges
- Sleep is foundational for cellular regeneration and overall health
- Strength training supports mobility and longevity at all life stages
- Moments of meditation help regulate stress, cortisol, and inflammation
- Provider-guided journeys deliver measurable results beyond anecdotal claims
- Treat root causes rather than just symptoms for lasting wellness
Redefining Longevity: From Buzzword to Lifestyle
During the interview, Sarah addressed one of the most common misconceptions about longevity: the idea that it means staying forever young. Instead, she encouraged viewers to think of longevity as a practice and a holistic approach to feeling good and living your best life.
“We’re empowering our best self to make sure we’re looking good, we’re feeling good, that we’re aging in a way that allows us to enjoy and move and live our life, that we’re comfortable and confident inside our own skin,” Sarah explained.
This perspective shift is central to the philosophy at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center locations nationwide. Rather than promising to turn back the clock, BHRC focuses on helping clients optimize their health and appearance at every stage of life.
A Personal Perspective
“I’ve had three kids and I’m so proud of that. I don’t want to go back to being 25. I want to be my best self at this age,” Sarah shared during the segment, illustrating how longevity is about embracing where you are while optimizing how you feel.
Moving Beyond Quick Fixes and Fad Diets
The new year often brings pressure to adopt extreme measures, whether it is a restrictive diet, an intense 30-day exercise program, or the latest wellness trend. Sarah pointed out that these approaches rarely lead to lasting change.
“It’s so much pressure and it’s not sustainable,” she noted. “We’re not trying to come in with one acute remedy. We’re saying, how do we take a breath and live life in a way that keeps us fulfilled, energetic, happy, healthy.”
This philosophy aligns with the broader shift happening in wellness, moving away from magic pills and miracle diets toward a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple aspects of health simultaneously. At BHRC, this translates to personalized treatment plans that combine aesthetic treatments, wellness protocols, and lifestyle guidance.
Free Longevity Practices You Can Start Today
One of the most valuable parts of the interview focused on foundational lifestyle pillars that anyone can embrace without spending money or visiting a clinic. Sarah outlined several evidence-based practices that support longevity.
Prioritize Sleep
Sarah emphasized sleep as foundational for cellular regeneration and the rest our bodies and brains need. While hustle culture has long glorified minimal sleep, research consistently shows that quality rest is essential for long-term health and vitality.
Incorporate Strength Training
Referencing studies on people living in Blue Zones, regions known for exceptional longevity, Sarah highlighted leg strength and mobility as key differentiating factors. The ability to stand up from a seated position, for example, is a simple measure that correlates strongly with healthy aging.
“Strength training enables that mobility,” Sarah explained. “There’s tons of literature published on the enduring effects and positive impacts on strength training at all phases of our life.”
Practice Moments of Meditation
Rather than requiring lengthy meditation sessions, Sarah suggested incorporating brief moments of mindfulness throughout the day. These practices help keep stress levels and cortisol down while regulating inflammation, all factors that influence how we age.
Foundational Lifestyle Pillars for Longevity
- Healthier diet choices without obsessive macro counting or food weighing
- Quality sleep as a non-negotiable foundation for regeneration
- Strength training to maintain mobility and muscle mass
- Moments of meditation to manage stress and inflammation
- Deep breathing exercises incorporated throughout the day
- Regular medical checkups to address root causes rather than just symptoms
Cutting Through the Noise: Finding What Actually Works
With countless wellness trends competing for attention online, Sarah offered guidance on how to identify legitimate approaches versus unsubstantiated claims.
“There’s so much noise in the space,” she acknowledged. “Cultivating through the corners of the Internet to say what’s been proven, where can I get clarity and confidence in sourcing of certain products, and making sure that you’re on a provider-guided journey.”
The key differentiator, according to Sarah, is working with qualified providers who can create comprehensive plans and track measurable results. This approach moves beyond anecdotal evidence to demonstrate real, quantifiable improvements in health markers.
“We’re not just saying I’m going to take one treatment and that’s going to be my pill to cure my chronic pain,” she explained. “There’s lifestyle choices, so creating a big plan with the provider so that you’re having routine check-ins, you’re having testing so you can see measurable results beyond anecdotal.”
The Value of a Provider-Guided Wellness Journey
While foundational lifestyle changes can be implemented independently, Sarah emphasized that more advanced longevity protocols benefit from professional guidance. At Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, this means combining diagnostic testing, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring to optimize outcomes.
BHRC’s whole-person philosophy integrates aesthetic treatments, weight management, hormone optimization, and regenerative therapies into cohesive plans tailored to individual goals. This comprehensive approach reflects the shift Sarah described during the interview, moving from single solutions toward holistic lifestyle transformation.
Start Your Longevity Journey
Whether you begin with the free lifestyle practices Sarah outlined or explore the advanced protocols available at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, the message is clear: longevity is not about fighting against time but about optimizing how you live within it.
As Sarah summarized during the segment, true longevity means “aging in a way that allows us to enjoy and move and live our life.” It is about being comfortable and confident in your own skin at every age.

It encompasses lifestyle practices, preventive care, and treatments that help you feel energetic, mobile, and confident as you age.
What are the most important lifestyle factors for longevity?
