Based on more than 55 million people over 90 years, WHEALTHSPAN is an evidence-based look at reaching the top 10% of lifespan on average genetics and informed living.
Building and preserving healthspan and hard-earned wealth starts with unraveling the noise, myths, and confusion. Americans are not all living longer. Since 2010, for every person living longer, another is dying younger. Where do I fit into that reality? Ischemic heart and stroke is 3.77x the next leading cause of death (Alzheimer’s) in adults age 65+ and is largely preventable. How can I understand and manage my risk? Longevity diets are far easier, affordable, and appealing than we’ve been led to believe. What diverse and fabulous foods love me in return? The average 60-year-old will add 11 more years (42% bonus) by reaching the 90th percentile. What are proven ways to get on that trajectory?
The longevity industry has baited us with anti-aging hacks and supplements that are great for sales, but the human data overwhelmingly says those strategies are not working. A decades-long slide now leaves the U.S. outside the top 50 countries for life expectancy. Every other country has made steady progress toward living longer, and even inside the U.S., there are over 60 communities with life expectancies of over 90. These represent millions of people living happy, healthy, active lives. It’s not access to better food, housing, and medicine. What are they doing right?
WHEALTHSPAN is a foundation of knowledge, inclusive of cultural and value differences that make us all unique. We all have simple and easy ways to live better longer; the secret is in learning where our individual opportunities are hiding and what works best for each of us. Following knowledge is far more reliable than following the pack.
You will learn what aging really is, how our choices influence our biology, and how interdependent they are. The five foundations of Whealthspan, Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, and Community (MEDAC), work together to create predictable outcomes, both near and long term, often for minimal investment of time. Moving and inspiring stories are interspersed throughout the book, reminding us that the secrets of human life aren’t found in research laboratories or DIY, 10-step listicles to looking younger.
“It’s like reading downhill,” was one editor’s comment. With over a dozen testimonials from leading physicians, economists, and aging experts, Whealthspan is the most practical, grounded, and enjoyable books of its kind. You’ll feel better about yourself and look forward to aging well as one of life’s best gifts.
