About this book
You can do everything your annual checkup asks and still be headed toward years of declining strength, sharper medications, and a body that breaks down in pieces. The hard question is not how long you live, but how long you can stay capable, and the answer demands a different way of thinking about risk, training, and prevention.
What you'll learn
- Build a prevention plan around healthspan instead of waiting for disease to appear, so you can act while risk is still changing.
- Use the book’s longevity lens to separate strategy from tactics, so you stop treating one test, diet, or supplement as the whole answer.
- Translate late-life goals into specific fitness targets, so your training supports strength, endurance, power, and stability instead of just effort.
- Think about nutrition, sleep, and emotional health as parts of one long-term system, so your choices support the years you want to keep functioning well.
