Living to 100 is not the goal…
If it is, it’s time to rethink that, because living well until the end is the goal.
Lifespan is how many years you get. Healthspan is how many of those years you are sharp, strong and independent.
For many people, a decade or more separates the two, spent managing decline instead of living.
That gap is where longevity science is focused, and it’s where your daily habits have the most say. The sleep, movement and nutrition choices you make in your forties and fifties are what decide how your seventies and eighties feel.
So the question is not “how long will I live?” It’s rather “how well will I be living at 80, and what am I doing about it this week?”
