What's more important: adding more years to your life, or adding more life to your years? For me the answer is getting more clear as I enter this phase of life––I'm looking for quality over quantity. There's a new term for that: your Health Span. So instead of chasing the latest longevity hacks, what exactly is the formula for a better health span? How do we make the most of those precious "feeling awesome" years where you're living vibrantly, free from major disease and disability? Because let's be honest, what's the point of extra years if you can't enjoy them?

The science is clear and surprisingly hopeful: up to 80% of how well we age is within our control. I break down three key areas that science shows can dramatically improve your quality of life: movement, metabolic health, and human connection. Plus, I share why your beliefs about aging actually impact how you age biologically, and why shifting from "anti-aging" to "pro-thriving" isn't just a mindset change – it's a biological one. Most importantly, I'll show you my "turtle power" approach that makes these changes stick, proving that small, consistent steps create extraordinary results over time. No extreme measures required – just simple daily choices that honor your body's remarkable capacity for renewal and resilience.
