Giants quarterback Jameis Winston channels his Christian faith after another dramatic victory
New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston has consistently preached his Christian faith throughout his NFL career, which includes a real moment where he hoped God would "deliver me from pick-sixes."
But after another win on Sunday – his second since taking over as the Giants’ starting quarterback following Jaxson Dart’s knee injury in Week 2 – Winston revealed the Bible verse he was wearing on his wristband.
Deonte Banks, the Giants’ first-round cornerback, was in the middle of a post-game interview after sealing his team’s victory with a 96-yard pick-six on fourth-and-goal as the clock hit zero. Winston crept over and started reading Philippians 3.13-14 off his wristband.

"Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, my brother!" Winston shouted before embracing Banks and looking into the camera. "That’s one thing I do."
Then, it was Winston’s turn to speak with CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala, where his faith shined once again.
FALCONS ROOKIE ZACHARIAH BRANCH SAYS CHRISTIAN FAITH, DAILY DEVOTIONALS FUEL HIS NFL JOURNEY
"Praise God," he said. "Unwavering faith, people coming through when they needed to come through. It was only by the grace of God, man. There were so many supernatural things that happened today, and that was one of them. I believe in miracles, but that was preparation, that was hard work, and that was just a divine interaction for Tae Banks just getting off his injury, never giving up and coming back to get a pick-six and seal the day. Man, wow. Wow. Thank you, Lord."
Winston channeled his inner reverend when asked by Kinkhabwala what he tells himself when the game goes through roller-coaster ups and downs like it did on Sunday. He threw two interceptions, but had three touchdowns in what NFL fans have come to know as "The Jameis Winston Experience."
"I’m so grateful for the word of God," he said, looking dead into the camera lens. "One thing I do is forgetting that which is behind me and reaching forward to what is ahead. You think that I’m joking, but Philippians 3.13 states this, and you have to do it no matter the circumstances, conditions or facts. Desire what you will love, and I wanted this team to win a game.
"It looked like the odds were against us – it really did. But God found a way. How great is He? His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, His ways are better than our ways. That’s only His grace."
Winston also shouted out his head coach, John Harbaugh, a man of similar Christian faith who now owns a 3-1 record in his first four games leading the Giants.
"Our head coach is tenacious. Our head coach is a Kingdom man. Our head coach is instilling every one of these qualities in us, and it’s really a beautiful thing to see," Winston said. "Shout out to the defensive line, shout out to the defense again, shout out to the offensive line, and praise God. Thank you."
The Giants find themselves in a rare situation compared to the previous decade worth of seasons, as they are in sole possession of the NFC East lead at 3-1 since November 2015.
New York will aim to continue that trend next week against a division foe, the Washington Commanders, where Winston will continue to lean on his preparation, teammates, and his faith to keep the winning going for the Giants.
'UNRWA is Hamas,' Israeli attorney warns as explosive Oct 7 lawsuit rocks UN agency
A legal battle between the family of an Oct. 7, 2023 attack victim and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has become a lightning rod for ongoing uncertainty about the agency’s future in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli civil rights attorney and president of the Shurat HaDin Law Center, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, told Fox News Digital that she filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Jerusalem on behalf of the family of 21-year-old Yonatan Samerano, who was murdered outside of Kibbutz Be’eri after fleeing the Nova music festival on Oct. 7, 2023. Samerano’s body was returned to his family after 625 days in captivity, during the final stage of hostage releases, Darshan-Leitner said.
According to Darshan-Leitner, after Samerano was shot to death by terrorists, his body was picked up by UNRWA workers, placed in an UNRWA vehicle and kidnapped to Gaza. "Although the kidnapping was by UNRWA’s workers, UNRWA never revealed the place of the body, never cooperated with Israeli authorities to tell them where Yonatan Samerano was held and never admitted that it was done by its workers. And therefore we decided to sue UNRWA on behalf of the family."
TRUMP BRINGS NEW HEAT TO CONTROVERSIAL UN AGENCY AS ALLEGED HAMAS TIES ENGULF SCORES OF EMPLOYEES
The difficulty in bringing suit against UNRWA has been the diplomatic immunity the organization enjoys by virtue of the Charter of the United Nations and the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations. Darshan-Leitner said that the charter "specifically prohibits any act of violence, let alone terrorism" and that because "UNRWA was aiding and abetting terror organizations and participating in acts of terrorism, they can no longer enjoy the immunity granted by the treaty."
The Israeli Knesset passed legislation in December stripping UNRWA of its diplomatic immunity, which allows the Israeli government to expropriate UNRWA properties within East Jerusalem.
Due to UNRWA’s loss of immunity, the Samerano family is pursuing punitive damages of NIS 24 million (nearly $8million) under Israel’s Compensation for Victims of Terrorism Law. When the deadline for UNRWA to file its defense in the case arrived last week, Darshan-Leitner said that the agency asked for a 45-day extension.
UNRWA did not respond to requests for comment about the status of its immunity, or its response to the litigation it faces on behalf of Samerano’s family.
US URGES DONORS TO ABANDON UNRWA FUNDING AS UN DEFENDS AGENCY'S MISSION
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, told Fox News Digital that Guterres has consistently "stated that the Knesset Law and its amendments are inconsistent with the status and international legal framework applicable to UNRWA. The source of UNRWA’s immunities is vested in the Charter of the United Nations and the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, which remain applicable."
While Guterres "has been very clear that any UNRWA personnel who has been demonstrated to have participated in the terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7 must be held accountable," he added that "Whenever we have been given information by the Israeli government on such individuals, we have acted."
UNRWA’s role in the future of Gaza has been hotly contested in passing months. As the USAID Office of Inspector General and NGO Watch continue to turn up evidence of Hamas infiltration of UNRWA, Finland, Sweden and the U.S. have now fully stopped issuing funds to the organization.
The Board of Peace, charged with the reconstruction of Gaza, has stated that UNRWA will have no role in the future of the Strip.
However, the Associated Press reported on Sept. 25 that the Board of Peace members "have been more open to working with the U.N. agency for Palestine than it seems." Their article cited a Board of Peace official’s confirmation that "board members had met multiple times with UNRWA officials."
The Board of Peace shot back on X, saying that its "policy as it relates to UNRWA’s involvement in Gaza is unchanged. We will only work with trusted partners who will deliver for the people of Gaza and contribute to a deradicalized Strip. UNRWA fails on those litmus tests."
UN-BACKED DATA UNDERCUTS VIRAL GAZA FAMINE CLAIMS AS CHILD MALNUTRITION FALLS
A U.S. official told Fox News Digital that "The evidence continues to mount that UNRWA has become a vehicle for instability, violence and radicalization, and it has no place in Gaza’s future humanitarian operations. At the same time, we are confident there are many capable and dedicated service providers in Gaza today who, following robust vetting and background checks, will meet the high standards required to deliver critical goods and services to the Palestinian people. We expect many will welcome the opportunity to continue that important work in partnership with credible NGOs, other U.N. entities or alongside the [National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.] Following an orderly wind-down, UNRWA itself will neither be essential nor necessary to accomplishing the work that lies ahead in Gaza."
Guterres continues to stand behind the organization. In remarks he delivered at the Ministerial Meeting on UNRWA on Sept. 24, the U.N. leader stated that "UNRWA remains a critical stabilizing presence."
UN CHIEF BACKS OFFICIAL WHO REPOSTED ANTI-ISRAEL ACTIVIST'S CLAIMS AMID CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION
"For years now, UNRWA has been forced to operate under extraordinary pressure. I have repeatedly condemned in the strongest terms the appalling attacks by Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, UNRWA’s personnel in Gaza have endured terrible loss and hardship. Nearly 400 members of its workforce have been killed. Hundreds of its premises remain inaccessible, severely damaged, or utterly destroyed," Guterres said.
Guterres also said that "a ceaseless political campaign has tried to manipulate public perceptions, undermine UNRWA’s ability to operate, and deny the rights of Palestine refugees." He called on U.N. Member States to "take immediate action" to politically and financially support the organization and protect its mandate.
Darshan-Leitner said that allowing UNRWA to continue operations inside Gaza would be problematic. "UNRWA indoctrinated [Palestinian refugees] and let the terror organizations infiltrate their schools and education facilities." She added that UNRWA facilities "served Hamas as bases, as launchers, as missile storage places," which both "risk the life of the citizens in Gaza," and ensure that there will be collateral damage if Israel retaliates against attacks.
"If the Board of Peace wants to re-educate the people to get rid of the terrorist system, to separate between the terrorists and the citizens of Gaza, it cannot do it when UNRWA is around because UNRWA is embedded in Hamas…UNRWA is Hamas. So letting UNRWA take care of the humanitarian needs of the population in Gaza is a fatal mistake," Darshan-Leitner said.
Pro wrestling star Big Damo reveals why he signed with MLW, being a part of Contra and eyeing Opera Cup
Big Damo has made a big impact since he joined Major League Wrestling (MLW) earlier this year.
Damo, a former WWE competitor, is among the bruisers that litter the MLW roster. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Belfast native aligned himself with Contra Unit as soon as he hit the ring. He explained to OutKick Dropkick in a recent interview why he joined the company in the first place.

"Honestly, the major reason was I was struggling with a minor injury and MLW were really, really patient with me and they waited until I recovered and came back to me," he said. "So, I feel like I've got a bit of loyalty there. It's kind of rare in wrestling normally when this kind of thing happens, they have to move on, and I've seen that at different parts of my career. They endeared themselves to me no end. But that they came back after because I had to miss what was going to be an original start day, which would have been January and I had to miss that unfortunately. So, they came back to me a couple of months later and then it was great to get started."
Damo also pointed to the roster MLW has been building over the last two years with recognizable names and the alliances it has built with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, allowing for global superstars to get an opportunity to perform in MLW.
"Also, what really drew me to MLW is, there's an incredible roster there. A lot of colleagues, a lot of people I've wrestled before and a lot of people who I really like and really respect. It’s an amazing roster and all their partnerships across the world whether it's in Mexico or Japan with New Japan, CMLL, everything else. And now, you're seeing you know a lot of the ladies of Stardom and stuff like that coming in. So, It's a very intriguing roster and they're making a big push to bring in a bunch of Europeans and you know there's no bigger European than me."
Damo also pointed to MLW’s distribution deals, which allow its weekly show "Fusion" to be broadcast on platforms like Tubi and Veeps.
In the ring, Damo is one of the handful of big men who have joined Contra – the most evil faction in MLW.
Damo, Brick Savage, Kushida, Ikuro Kwon, Okumira, Josef Samael and Sentai Death Squad are the members of the group eager to dole out punishment to anyone who steps to them. It’s been a while since Contra has been able to get the sense of fear back around them and Damo has relished the opportunity to be a part of that.
"Well, at this point with myself and Brick Savage, I think we could probably run through a brick wall," he told OutKick Dropkick. "So, it probably is the best time to say we're probably the most feared we've been in a long time.

"Obviously, there's been an incredible roster of people who've come through Contra all through the years, but right now we're looking pretty good. It's one of the coolest kind of collection of wrestlers I think that I've been a part of and now we're in a situation where we're putting the rest of the roster on notice. So, as I said, Brick Savage, a very recent addition, he can literally throw anybody around. So, I mean, he'll make me look good, so that's even better."
Damo said he wasn’t necessarily eyeing gold right away like his teammate Brick Savage is. For now, he has his sights on the Opera Cup.
The Opera Cup is a single-elimination tournament held in MLW. The company revived the tournament in 2019 after it originally was started in the late 1800s. The tournament was discontinued in 1948 after Stu Hart won the trophy.
On "Fusion," Damo will take on Wolf Gang with Matt Riddle possibly waiting for him in the next round.
"Always eyeing gold," he said. "You know, with this Opera Cup, that'll be the first step. I'm wrestling Wolf Gang this Thursday on Tubi. And then I'm looking at the likes of Matt Riddle. I'm looking at the likes of Killer Kross. These are people who I know very well and wouldn't mind a little bit of gold around my waist as well. So, listen, I'm leaving everything on the table, but I'll start with the Opera Cup because the Opera Cup, obviously, is probably the most historic tournament still going in pro wrestling. So why not make history, be the first Irish winner as well."
NFL execs and coaches want league to rein in 'out of control' officials and hope suspensions signal a start
We all rolled our eyes when commissioner Roger Goodell spoke glowingly about NFL officiating at the Super Bowl a few years ago and continually defended it years afterward, saying officials do great work considering their tough jobs and dismissing theories they favor one team over others, and this offseason even giving them a pay raise.
Then Monday happened which, perhaps, helps the league and its executives understand what has only been whispered in closed-door meetings before:
NFL officiating is out of control.
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
First a quick reminder about what happened on Monday: The league suspended referee Adrian Hill for one game and line judge Jeff Seeman two games for separate instances of "unprofessional conduct toward a player."
Both officials let their emotions get the better of them. Seeman cursed out Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride and Hill made physical contact with Eric Wilson because he believed the Vikings linebacker knocked him to the turf.
(In fact, Wilson was pushed into Hill by a Dolphins player and that's how the ref ended up on his back).
The suspensions were not unprecedented but rare.
The last time multiple officials were suspended in the same season, much less on the same day, was in 1968 when six of them got suspended for one game because they all lost track of the downs during a game between the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams.
In the 58 seasons between then and Monday, only six other officials were suspended by the NFL.
That history tells you the NFL believes what happened over the weekend to be a milestone and perhaps it is. Because, as several NFL sources told OutKick, perhaps it marks the moment the league sends its officiating community the message that everything is most definitely not alright.
Coaches, players and fans already knew that. But until Monday the NFL was "publicly in denial," one source said.
Ask Rams coach Sean McVay. He said last week the NFL admitted to him its officials blew a key pass interference call in the Rams' game against the Denver Broncos.
You know what the NFL's reaction was to McVay being transparent about the officiating mistake? It sent out a memo reminding coaches, executives and staff that "all such conversations are confidential and are not to be discussed publicly and League discipline may be imposed on club personnel for breaching that confidentiality."
So days before the league announced it was disciplining two officials for their mistakes its position about making mistakes public was something akin to, "Say nothing."
The hope is that course does not continue, multiple NFL sources told OutKick, because complaints have been pouring from coaches, executives and even some owners wanting the league to make officials more accountable.
Accountability is probably in order because NFL officials are on some kind of heater the first four weeks of this season. Consider there were 14 games on Sunday and NFL officials called 255 penalties in those games combined, according to NFLpenalties.com.
That averages out to slightly more than 18 penalties per game. That was the most of any week in over a decade.
According to the analytics wiz at SharpFootballAnalysis.com, offensive units are getting flagged at the highest per-snap rate of any first four weeks of a season since 2000.
That means the NFL, which has in the past decade installed rules to encourage offense and points, is seeing its officials stall offenses more than ever this millennium. And through Sunday's games, officials nullified 17 TDs because of penalties.
That number was nine the previous two seasons — combined.
The handful of executives who spoke with OutKick anonymously on Monday said it behooves players and coaches to play within the rules. They say in most cases, officials are calling what they think they're seeing.
But they also are frustrated by officials being more willing to actively become part of the game.
"Some of these guys seem to believe the game is better off in their hands than in the hands of the players and coaches," one NFC executive said. "It's ego."
This executive wasn't pointing to Seeman or Hill. He was pointing to flags thrown in the biggest moments of multiple games. Officials in the past often let the players play through those big moments, but seem more willing to become part of the game's outcome now.
A statistic that backs that is the NFL has seen the most penalties on third- and fourth-downs in the second half of games dating back at least to 2000, per Sharp.
The Chargers and Seahawks combined for 30 accepted penalties totaling 280 yards on Sunday. Seattle coach Mike Macdonald took the seven personal foul penalties his team got quite personally.
"This is going to be a through, not around, next 24-to-48 hours on how we address the penalties," Macdonald said.
The NFL is expected to do some of the same with its officials.
New York declares measles disaster emergency as cases surge in Pennsylvania
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a statewide emergency on Monday over a measles outbreak spreading from Pennsylvania.
It is the first time an emergency declaration has been issued since measles began surging in the U.S. in 2025.
Pennsylvania has reported 977 measles cases and five deaths as of Oct. 2, with most cases centered in rural communities. Meanwhile, New York has reported 108 cases.
WORLD’S MOST CONTAGIOUS VIRUS HITS MAJOR US AIRPORT AS OFFICIALS WARN OF POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
"No one should get seriously ill or die from a vaccine-preventable disease," Hochul said in a statement.
The U.S. is having its worst year for measles since 1991, with nearly 3,900 cases reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hochul also issued an executive order expanding the number of health professionals who are approved to administer measles vaccines.
DOCTOR SHORTAGES ARE HURTING RURAL PATIENTS. LET PHARMACISTS HELP THEM HEAL
The order allows registered nurses to order tests for suspected measles and pharmacists to vaccinate children as young as two. It also requires all MMR vaccinations to be reported to state or New York City immunization registries within 72 hours, while waiving adults’ consent for such reporting.
The Pennsylvania and Philadelphia health departments, as well as the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, reported last month that they are "working closely to ensure potentially exposed infants receive a preventative antibody product to prevent or lessen severe disease and to take steps to prevent the further spread of measles" amid the outbreak.
MEASLES DEATHS MAY HAVE BEEN 'FABRICATED,' RFK JR CLAIMS AFTER CORONER RAISES QUESTIONS
Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Palak Raval-Nelson wrote that measles exposures are "a reminder of how important it is for all of us to be up to date on our vaccinations."
The health department advised that anyone who has been exposed who is not immune, is unsure of their vaccination status, is an infant, is pregnant and not immune, or is immunocompromised should contact their doctor.
MEASLES-INFECTED TRAVELER MAY HAVE EXPOSED PASSENGERS AT LAX AND NEARBY HOTEL, HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN
"Some people may still be eligible for treatment after exposure that can prevent measles or reduce the severity of illness," the department wrote. "Anyone who develops symptoms should call ahead before visiting a healthcare facility and tell the provider about the possible measles exposure."
Measles is a highly contagious virus that can be fatal in one to three patients per 1,000 cases, data shows.
The virus can cause long-term health problems, including pneumonia and brain swelling. Nearly 20% of individuals who contract measles are hospitalized.

Kentucky bourbon CEO fired after lawsuit alleges hidden cameras recording family members, minors nude: reports
Kentucky bourbon executive Wes Henderson lost his job earlier this month after family members accused him of using hidden cameras to record relatives and guests at his homes and a castle resort, according to reports.
TKC Distilling, the parent company of The Kentucky Castle and True Story Whiskey, terminated Henderson as CEO Oct. 3.
Relatives filed the lawsuit against Henderson in Oldham County, Kentucky, in June, according to The Courier Journal, which obtained the now-sealed complaint.
RUTGERS RESEARCH DEAN ACCUSED OF SECRETLY RECORDING 'UPSKIRT' VIDEOS WITH CELLPHONE, PROSECUTORS SAY
Now, the Department of Homeland Security is examining hidden recordings Henderson allegedly made, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. Fox News Digital reached out to DHS for comment.
"Wes unequivocally denies the allegations in the lawsuit," Henderson's attorney said in a statement, according to the Herald-Leader. "It is our understanding that the complaint will be voluntarily dismissed. If that does not happen, he is prepared to vigorously defend himself."
Family members alleged that they discovered concealed cameras during a June 2025 stay at Henderson’s vacation home near Melbourne, Florida. They said they removed about 15 cameras, including devices disguised as fire alarms. They also found cameras hidden in a fan, a clock, a speaker, charging blocks and outlet extenders.
WEST VIRGINIA PRINCIPAL SUSPENDED AFTER RECORDING DEVICES FOUND IN GIRLS’ LOCKER ROOMS
They also reportedly found a camera hidden in a bathroom air vent and footage showing Henderson positioning a camera in front of a bed.
The complaint described footage of guests changing clothes and using bathrooms while unknowingly being recorded, along with people engaged in sexual acts. Some recordings allegedly showed Henderson, who is married, having sex with other women.
SEN LANKFORD ACCUSES PORNHUB OF 'PREYING ON CHILDREN' IN BLISTERING LETTER
The complaint also alleged that cameras recorded minors while they were nude. After reviewing some of the recordings, family members turned the evidence over to authorities.
According to the lawsuit, Henderson's wife later gave relatives permission to search the couple's Oldham County home, where additional hidden cameras had been installed.
Other memory cards allegedly held footage recorded at The Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, owned by Henderson.
The lawsuit reportedly identified 40 people who appeared in the recordings without their knowledge or consent, including an alleged homeless person carrying what appeared to be a medical device into a restroom.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages for pain and suffering and medical expenses. They have requested a jury trial, according to the Courier Journal.
Charity Bird, an attorney for TKC Distilling, told Fox News Digital the company is not a party to the lawsuit, and that Henderson's son, Kyle Henderson, will take over as CEO of The Kentucky Castle and True Story Whiskey.
"The Board and leadership of TKC Distilling, the parent company of The Kentucky Castle and True Story Whiskey, have terminated the employment of CEO Wes Henderson, effective immediately, in light of allegations outlined in a recently filed lawsuit," Bird said in an emailed statement.
Henderson's attorney denied the allegations in a statement to the Herald-Leader. The attorney said Henderson expected the plaintiffs to drop the case, but would fight the allegations if they continued to pursue it.
Separately, TKC Distilling and related businesses have faced lawsuits over allegedly unpaid architectural and consulting bills.
Henderson, a former firefighter, recently took a leave of absence as the Oldham County deputy coroner, Oldham County Coroner David Pendleton told the Courier Journal.
Meanwhile, the exact location of the recordings and devices remains unclear.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office in Florida and the Oldham County Police Department in Kentucky did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment on whether they have taken possession of the evidence.
Versailles Police Chief Rob Young told Fox News Digital that his department is "not involved in the investigation."
"We don't know anything about it," Young said.
Bird said that TKC Distilling’s board plans to "conduct a full and independent investigation into the allegations."
"The company remains committed to addressing the matter responsibly and to ensuring that the investigation is conducted thoroughly and fairly."
Henderson could not immediately be reached for comment.
Doctor's 10 rules for living longer, celebrating more birthdays and making extra years count
As scientists increasingly investigate how everyday habits may influence health and aging, one longevity doctor says the keys to a longer, healthier life don't require expensive supplements, elaborate biohacks or cutting-edge treatments.
Dr. Michael Hall, a Miami Beach longevity physician and author of the new book "Infinite Youth," has identified what he calls the "10 commandments of longevity," which he believes can help people extend their healthiest years.
Hall said the principles were shaped by nearly two decades in longevity medicine and by observing health and aging across cultures around the world.
LONGEVITY DOCTOR REVEALS WHAT MATTERS MOST FOR AGING WELL, BEYOND PRICEY BIOHACKS
"These are core elements that are not peptides, they're not NAD," Hall told Fox News Digital. "It's not that you've got to buy a fancy thing on Amazon." Instead, he said, "you start out with the basics and you maintain them consistently."
"If you’re embracing some of these things, you are doing exactly what you need to do — and these don’t cost anything."
The content that people repeatedly consume — particularly when it’s fear-based or negative — can shape their behavior, according to Hall. He sees protecting attention as part of protecting health, emphasizing the importance of being intentional about what people consume mentally.
"What you put in your mind, you need to be very careful about," he said. "What you think, you become."
ONE SIMPLE LIFESTYLE CHOICE COULD HELP YOU LIVE LONGER, SAYS LONGEVITY EXPERT
A recent study identified a "sweet spot" of about six to eight hours of sleep per day, which researchers linked to healthier aging and lower risks of premature death and disease.
Sleep is when the body recovers and the brain "resets," yet technology and poor sleep habits increasingly interfere with that process, according to Hall.
"Sleep is probably one of the most important things that we just don’t talk about enough," he said.
The expert pointed out that the body’s circadian rhythm responds naturally to light and darkness, while screens, artificial light and late bedtimes can disrupt that cycle.
"The bed is really for sleep and sex," Hall added.
A September 2026 study found that highly active older adults maintained high levels of aerobic fitness into their 60s, 70s and 80s, despite some normal age-related decline.
"Movement is life," Hall agreed. He recalled seeing older adults remain highly active during his time working in New Zealand and Sri Lanka, including women in their 90s who were still mobile and fit.
3 COMMON FACTORS MAY BE SECRETLY SPEEDING UP THE AGING PROCESS, EXPERT SAYS
Hall’s own routine includes walking, swimming, cycling and resistance work.
For everyday movement, he particularly recommends walking and squatting, which engage large muscle groups and help maintain strength and mobility.
Muscle strength helps support bones, posture and mobility, and may help reduce frailty and fall risk later in life, according to the longevity expert.
"You need to maintain that good, healthy posture and strength throughout your life," Hall said.
He connected loss of movement and strength with weakening muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments, potentially increasing fall risk as people age.
"If you’re moving, you’re preserving strength, you’re maintaining your bones, because they go together," Hall said.
For optimal longevity nutrition, Hall recommends choosing minimally processed foods, with a focus on simple preparation, portion control and awareness of what goes into meals.
"Food is medicine, food is fuel, food is life," Hall said.

While Hall said he cooks his own meals, primarily chooses fresh foods and largely avoids foods that come "out of a bag or a box," he emphasizes portion control rather than complete deprivation.
"I don’t care what it is you love, you can have a bite," he said.
Having a mission gives people something beyond themselves to invest in, contributing to emotional well-being and a meaningful life, according to Hall.
"It’s the most important part of being human," he said. "Our mission … is our purpose."
That purpose does not have to come from an extraordinary calling, Hall suggested. Whether someone is a physician, firefighter, baker or coffee shop owner, serving others can provide a sense of meaning.
"If you’re just serving yourself, you aren’t going to be a happy person," he added.
"No one ages well alone," Hall said. "You cannot live alone. You’re not designed to be atomized living in a box alone."
Research published in October 2026 in PLOS One found that loneliness was associated with a higher risk of death at one, three and five years.

Hall also pointed to companionship, family and meaningful relationships as important parts of his own life.
"Having people around you who appreciate you, who you can relate to, who can have a conversation with, have a laugh with, it’s so important," he said.
A 2025 study of more than 10,000 older adults with cognitive impairment found that greater participation in cognitively stimulating activities was associated with a lower risk of death over time.
"We’re needing to be challenged … as an individual and as a community and as society," Hall said.
Continuing to learn, explore and seek out new experiences could play a role in healthy aging, research has found.
Hall similarly believes curiosity helps people remain engaged with the world as they get older.
"Curiosity allows us to explore and to always be aware there’s something more," he told Fox News Digital. "You’re never going to know everything. So you’re always on the quest."

Curiosity has driven much of Hall’s travel and work around the world, he said, noting that getting older shouldn't mean stopping the pursuit of new experiences.
"We were children, and we never really grew up, by the way — we just get older in our bodies."
In his book, Hall describes healthy aging as keeping the body's metaphorical "funnel" as wide as possible for as long as possible.
He sees aging as a gradual narrowing of that funnel, with increasing physiological stress as the body loses some of its ability to maintain optimal function.
Keeping the funnel wide, he said, means supporting overall health and resilience through the fundamental habits outlined in his other commandments.
Ultimately, Hall said his goal is not simply to help people accumulate more birthdays, but to make those additional years healthier and more meaningful.
"I’m selling healthspan as much as I possibly can," he said. "Your best years of your life, the best living you can possibly have, sharing with others and making society better."
Women who faced biological males in girls' sports and locker rooms speak out ahead of Washington state vote
Frances Staudt chose not to play against a biological male in a high school basketball game and said she gets harassed every day in her school's hallways because of her decision. It doesn't matter to her detractors that that male was also in her locker room before the game.
Alanna Smith was a college sprinter at Georgia Southern who had aspirations of winning the Connecticut State Open while in high school. But she knew she was defeated before her race began because of the biological male lining up against her in the blocks.
Bailey Andersen was a high school basketball player who remembers a 6-foot biological male out-jumping her 6-foot-3 teammate on the opening tip due to his superior athleticism. But her lasting memory from that day was the mustached boys flexing in front of a mirror in the girls' locker room before the game.
I LOST A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TO A BOY. I REFUSE TO LOSE MY VOICE
Kendall Kotzmacher is a college softball player who lost her high school state championship game to a team that started a biological male at pitcher. That wasn't her only loss, though, as myriad friends have abandoned her since she began speaking up on this issue.
Sadie Sullivan was a high school swimmer who said she regularly had biological males in her locker room while she was changing into her suit, and that hearing male voices in her space "freaked me out."
So what brought these five ladies to a rally in Vancouver, Wash., last Saturday to share their stories? To make sure nothing like that ever happens again in Washington state.
Actually, their ambitions extend beyond Washington. They don't want these types of incidents happening anywhere in the country, but stopping them in the Pacific Northwest is the immediate priority.

On Nov. 3, Washington voters will decide whether to pass Initiative 638, which would bar biological males from competing in girls’ K-12 sports. What's particularly significant about this measure is that it took hundreds of thousands of signatures from across the state to get it on the ballot.
Twenty-seven other states separate biological males from females in K-12 sports, but all of those policies were enacted by state legislatures rather than approved by voters. So if Washingtonians approved Initiative 638, it could become the first state in the country to put such a policy into law by popular vote — and the first state that President Donald Trump lost in 2024 to have one on the books.
That last detail matters, because Democrat politicians have largely dismissed the trans-in-sports debate as a non-issue. But if this measure were to pass in one of the bluest states in the country?
"If we can show that a state like Washington has enough common sense to stand up for the girls and women, then any other state can do so as well," said Staudt, a senior at Tumwater High in Washington. "I think we need people to know that it's possible to be done.
Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics, agrees. The former national-team gymnast was at the rally in Washington on Saturday but lives in Colorado, where voters will consider a similar measure restricting biological males from competing in female school sports on the Nov. 3 ballot. It's Sey's hope that if these initiatives pass, it will start a "cascade" that leads to legislation in all 50 states.
DEMOCRAT SENATORS FLEE OR NO-SHOW JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING ON PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTS
But despite this being an 80-20 issue nationally, and despite most Democrats supporting gender separation in sports, there is no guarantee that these measures will get through. Politicians have been employing scare tactics to try to squash the initiatives — most notably by warning that they would subject girls to "invasive genital inspections."
Those were the exact words used by Tacoma City Councilmember Olgy Diaz last July. The Seattle City Council and King County Democrats made similar claims, with the latter describing I-638 as requiring girls "to undergo genital inspection to play sports at school."
But as Sey has previously noted, these "genital inspections" aren't happening in the 27 states that do separate biological males and females in sports. Brandi Kruse, who emceed Saturday's rally and hosts the Washington-based podcast "Undivided," called these rhetorical ploys a red herring.
TRANSGENDER ATHLETES HAVE TAKEN 2,293 CHAMPIONSHIP SPOTS FROM BIOLOGICAL WOMEN, NEW RESEARCH FINDS
"It's interesting that the one argument the other side has not made and has not attempted to make, is that it's perfectly fine for boys to compete against girls," Kruse said. "They know that's a losing argument, so instead they make things up. They say that if you pass this initiative, then girls will have to get invasive genital exams...your doctor knows what your gender is."
It's probably a safe assumption that everybody in the auditorium for Saturday's rally was in favor of passing I-638. But there was one man outside the property's walls holding a sign reading "if you are not an antifascist, what are you?"
To his credit, he was civil when I spoke with him. But he called this whole debate a non-issue.
"If you got beat by a biological male, sorry," he said.
What about boys changing in girls locker rooms?
"Just throw it all into the ridiculous propaganda bucket," he replied.
I then asked for his name, but he wouldn't give it to me. And he only let me take a picture if he could cover his face with his sign.

We know who the cowards are on this issue — and they certainly weren't the ladies at the rally.
The aforementioned Kotzmacher said she has received death threats, while some detractors have threatened to show up at her home or college. But the Minnesota native keeps talking — whether in Washington, D.C. or Washington state — in hopes that a victory in one blue state can set off a chain reaction across the country.
"I think that's the entire goal is to try and scare me back into being silent," Kotzmacher said. "But at this point, nothing's going to stop me and nothing's going to stop the other girls."
Last year, trans track athlete Veronica Garcia, representing East Valley High in Spokane Valley, won the Washington state title in the 400 meters. This year, a boy for Camas High in WA switched to the girls cross-country team midseason and is currently dominating. And Monday, OutKick's Jackson Thompson reported that a Washington family requested a SCOTUS injunction after their daughter was allegedly assaulted by a trans athlete last year.
There have been real consequences in that state — just as there have been across the country. If Washingtonians want to say "no" to this madness, they'll have to vote "yes" on I-638.

Dolph Lundgren says he 'always understood' Sylvester Stallone due to similar abusive childhood
Dolph Lundgren believes his shared abusive childhood helped him better understand Sylvester Stallone throughout their 40-year friendship.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Lundgren – who recently released his documentary "Dolph: Unbreakable" – explained the gratitude he has for the "Rocky" star after he "resurrected" his career.
"I think part of what's kept it going is I always have been very grateful to him and loving towards him. We've had our ups and downs, but I think, you know, he's discovered a lot of new talent and I think some of them perhaps haven't been as grateful maybe as some others, and I've always paid my respects to him because he's responsible not just for 'Rocky IV' but 'The Expendables.' I did four of those movies, which resurrected my career," Lundgren began.
He continued, "I hadn't been on the big screen for 25 years when I did 'Expendables.'"
SYLVESTER STALLONE SHARES HARROWING NEW DETAILS ABOUT ABUSIVE CHILDHOOD
Lundgren went on to share that Stallone is a "complicated guy," but he understands him.

"I've always appreciated him. I always understood him. I know he's a complicated guy, but we have a similar background, so I always knew where he was coming from, which I think he knows. And I think also, it got more emotional, and I believe that I have a feeling that you know, he's also opened up like I have over the years about his upbringing and what he's gone through," Lundgren said.
The actor said the parallels in their lives go deeper than a shared abusive childhood.
"We have daughters; he has three, I got two. And you know if you think about it, who can you... if you're an action star, who had an abusive childhood, who has three daughters, who has a ton of injuries... Who can understand you? There's not that many people you can talk to," Lundgren said.
The star explained that there is only Arnold Schwarzenegger left that could possibly understand his and Stallone's upbringing and life story.

Stallone and Lundgren's friendship has had its share of ups and downs since they met while making "Rocky IV." Stallone told Jimmy Fallon in 2019 on The Tonight Show that he initially disliked Lundgren because he seemed "too perfect," but the two eventually became friends and worked together again on "The Expendables" films.
In a September interview with Los Angeles Magazine, Lundgren said they had a "little falling out" over the proposed "Drago" spin-off, but Stallone reached out after learning Lundgren had cancer, and they are now close again.
After beating cancer and surviving childhood abuse, Lundgren is now turning his sights on his own documentary.

"I wanted people to see, to put together the puzzle of how, why did I play those characters and why did I end up being unbreakable, or at least appear to be unbreakable," he began. "It was all my personal journey. And I think hopefully other people may be able to relate to some of that."
Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Jean Claude Van Damme will be making appearances in the new documentary. According to a synopsis, "Dolph: Unbreakable" will include interviews with the three men, as well as home videos and archival photos, to show a "a raw and revealing portrait" of Lundgren.
