Benjamin Franklin: “Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices”
- Poor Richards Almanac
The best way to maximize longevity in 2023 is not a drug, supplement, or other high tech therapeutic; its Lifestyle medicine.
Wonder Medicine specializes in the translation of longevity technologies into clinical practice. This includes things like rapamycin, exosomes, and metformin. But we would be misguiding you if we did not focus, first and foremost, on lifestyle.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Per the American College of Preventative Medicine: Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that uses evidence-based behavioral interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease.
I would take this a step further even. For me, Lifestyle includes:
1. Thoughts
2. Behaviors
3. Environment
4. The People Around Us
With environment being particularly relevant and underappreciated in most medical settings. These 4 things drive both health and un-health. By optimizing these four things, a person can greatly extend both lifespan and health span.
Focusing on behaviors alone, will not be enough. This may be why conventional medicine downplays lifestyle changes. If you only address behaviors, changes don’t happen, and as such, the strategy fails.
But this is a shame because lifestyle changes are the only definitively proven way to extend the length of human life in 2023. From epidemiological studies, it appears that people who live a healthy lifestyle can add approximately twelve years to their life (range: 5-15 years).
Death at 88 instead of 76 years, most often accompanied by contraction of morbidity.
