Episode notes
Healthspan vs. Lifespan
- Healthspan focuses on the quality of your life, not just the length.
- It considers cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being.
Lifespan Bonus
- Focusing on healthspan, or quality of life, often unintentionally increases lifespan.
- Prioritizing healthspan yields a double benefit.
Fast Death vs. Slow Death
- Modern medicine has doubled lifespan by conquering "fast death" (infection, trauma).
- However, now we experience "slow death," a longer decline in healthspan.
