In developed countries nowadays, the main low hanging fruit is reversing or eliminating “metabolic syndrome” for people suffering from it.
The Perfect Health Diet (including the circadian rhythm hacks mentioned in the book) coupled with high intensity weight lifting is a powerful all around approach which simultaneously attacks dozens of factors which contribute to metabolic syndrome.
For weight lifting protocols, a good health-oriented protocol is Body by Science, however I’m more partial to Vince Gironda’s Unleashing The Wild Physique lifting protocols, since they have the side effect of making you look like a Marvel superhero. Either protocol will raise growth hormone levels and block the effects of cortisol, which will likely yield massive improvements in your mental and physical health- especially if you experience chronic stress.
I have no financial affiliation, but all of these sources I mention here cost money and contain information you could find free online. However, I am not aware of anywhere else which presents the information so throughly- with proper citations and easy to follow instructions.
There seems to be an overwhelming amount of bad health advice out there, but I’ve spent years looking for the most effective and rigorous methods to improve my own health, and the links above are the best methods I’ve been able to find.
It’s hard to explain in a short post how good these materials really are but they’ve radically improved health and quality of life for me, and most of my friends and family who tried them.
Edit: I suspect the signal to noise ratio for “diet advice” is so terrible, everyone needs to assume it’s all crap, or else they’d spend too much time evaluating everything they hear.
