Longevity & Metabolic Health

Lifespan is how long you live; healthspan is how long you stay healthy, active, and free of chronic disease. Longevity medicine targets healthspan — compressing illness into the smallest window at the end of life rather than simply adding years.

If you track one number, make it VO₂ max — your maximal oxygen uptake. It's one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality, and unlike age it's trainable at any decade through zone 2 and interval cardio.

Yes. Muscle is metabolic armor: it stores glucose, supports metabolism, protects against falls and frailty, and independently predicts longevity. After about age 30 women lose muscle steadily without resistance training, which makes strength work non-negotiable.

Biological age estimates how old your body is functioning — versus your calendar age — using markers like inflammation, glucose, and epigenetic clocks. It can move in both directions: sleep, exercise, muscle, and metabolic health can measurably lower it.

For many people, yes. A CGM reveals how your specific body responds to foods, stress, and sleep, exposing glucose spikes that drive inflammation and aging long before they would show up as prediabetes on a standard lab.
