The Long Game

​

Hi Reader,

When people ask me about longevity, the conversation often starts with the same question: Why would I want to live longer if it means spending those years sick, frail, or dependent on others?

This week, I’m digging into the fascinating—and sometimes messy—reasons I believe in longevity medicine. What is it really? Is it just hype? A billionaires-only club? Or is it a necessary shift in how we approach health for individuals and society?

Even if you are already a believer as I am, this is a good article to share with your colleagues and loved ones to clarify the mission of longevity medicine.

Demystifying Longevity Medicine

We often think of old age as a period of decline, even if we now routinely live into our eighties and nineties. But what if extending life also meant preserving vitality, independence, and purpose? Longevity medicine—an emerging field combining advanced diagnostics, preventive strategies, AI-driven insights, and lessons from public health successes like HIV prevention—aims to close the gap between lifespan and healthspan.

This week, we dissect what longevity medicine really is and examine why it’s not just for the wealthy or well-connected. We explore how interventions that once seemed futuristic—regenerative therapies, personalized nutrition, and predictive analytics—could become as routine as a flu shot. The outcome could be a future in which longer life doesn’t mean prolonged decline, but rather more years of engagement, contribution, and overall well-being.
