Basic nutrition, sleep and exercise aren't being fanatical about one's health. These are quite simple things which are nonetheless extremely difficult to learn if your childhood didn't set you up for those things (speaking from experience here). Meanwhile a "miracle cure" would be orders of magnitude more impactful I agree however it is many orders of magnitude less likely to occur. Therefore, I think you're wrong. In addition, I disagree with how you're framing these things as chores and purely in relation to life extension, these things improve quality of life and are good things to spend part of your life doing.

I don't think that makes me wrong?

I'm also not arguing against living a healthy life now (indeed, I take some steps in that direction in my personal life), I'm saying no matter how healthy a life you live now (hence the fanatic part) it doesn't really help that much, and the cost is high. I.e. it is not a real competitor to the miracle cure, and lack of interest in the inferior product is not evidence that the miracle cure would not succeed as a product.
