Episode notes
Time In Health Is Our Most Valuable Asset
- The Stoics viewed most health outcomes as outside direct control but emphasized making time and attention to health a priority.
- Treating time in good health as your most precious resource reframes daily choices toward longevity.
Use Reason To Protect Your Healthspan
- Use mindfulness, self-possession, and long-term thinking to choose behaviors that extend your healthspan.
- Regulate corrosive emotions with reason so mental state supports physical health and consistent healthy habits.
Healthspan ≠ Lifespan
- Distinguish lifespan (years alive) from healthspan (years healthy and functional).
- Scientific efforts aim to extend healthspan by slowing cellular aging, not merely prolonging life at low quality.
