Your Body is Like a Car or Household Appliance
It Needs Maintenance
If you could only have one car or one particular household appliance to last your entire lifetime, what good maintenance practices would you establish to make it last your whole life? More importantly, with the one and only body you will ever have, what maintenance practices are you implementing so that your body will stay optimally healthy through a long life?
Eight Habits of Health
What should be the ultimate health goal?
Preserving biological youth for as long as human potential allows. This means keeping your cells, tissues, organs, and entire system functioning at their peak—so you stay strong, flexible, and sharp, free from pain, stiffness, and decline.
To maintain vibrant health and extend your biological youth far beyond the norm, you must overcome the hidden forces that accelerate aging—namely glycation, oxidative stress, microbiome imbalances, and disruptions in cellular signaling. These silent saboteurs drain your vitality and speed your decline—often without obvious warning.
But here’s the often-overlooked truth:
If you don’t feel like moving, you won’t move—and if you don’t move, you won’t thrive.
Movement is life. In our modern medical age where dying young is not common, continuing to move daily is the single strongest predictor of longevity and healthspan. Yet millions are trapped in a cycle of fatigue, inflammation, and poor cellular function that makes movement feel burdensome or even impossible. It’s not laziness—it’s biology.
That’s why the key to lasting health isn’t just willpower—it’s learning to restore the conditions that make you want to move:
At the root of these is your body's innate power to heal, renew, and even rejuvenate aging cells and tissues—if you give it the right support.
By combining the best of ancestral wisdom and cutting-edge science, we teach people how to neutralize aging accelerators and reactivate the body’s natural drive for movement and vitality. The Eight Habits of Health provide a clear, actionable path to do just that—through aligned choices in nourishment, activity, recovery, mindset, and environment.
Once you understand these principles, the choice is yours:
Your body was made to move. Let’s help you feel good enough to do it—naturally, daily, joyfully.
The average lifespan is 78 years. Most people begin experiencing declined health and chronic disease symptoms by age 63. A great many people, however, suffer from poor health even earlier and die before the average lifespan. Poor health and early death are a choice and you don't have to be like most people.
Imagine living in vibrant, youthful health well into your 100s — 110, 120, or beyond. Your lifespan and healthspan are largely determined by the daily choices you make, and by following the 8 Habits of Health, you can dramatically extend both.
You don’t have to be part of these statistics. You have the power to extend your healthspan and lifespan by implementing the 8 Habits of Health now. Small, consistent changes can make all the difference—giving you decades of vibrant living instead of years of decline.
It’s a fascinating question especially since with the right diet, lifestyle, and commitment to healthy habits, thriving well past 100 is not just possible but increasingly achievable (there are now over 100,000 people in the U.S. who are 100 or older).
The dietary and lifestyle diseases that kill most people and or cause people to suffer in poor health needlessly for the last 20% of their life are shown in the graph below. Virtually all of these could be prevented through an understanding and application of optimal lifestyle and diet.
While the average human lifespan currently ranges between 75 to 80 years, the possibility of extending life to 120 years or beyond has been a topic of scientific exploration. Several reputable scientists suggest that, with appropriate lifestyle choices, achieving such longevity may be feasible.
While these perspectives are promising, it's important to recognize that extending human lifespan to 120 years or beyond involves genetics and environment plus lifestyle and diet. Achieving such longevity awaits pioneers. The masses aren't likely to be involved until they see the pioneers doing it.
Why is dying at 75 to 80 the defacto choice for most people? And why is it that highly educated people and wealthy people tend to add a decade to those numbers?
The first answer is that wealthier people have lower rates of smoking and healthier dietary habits. In other words, wealthy people do a better job at keeping their bodies from being deficient in nutrients and filled up with toxins. Better Health always boils down to being more free from toxicities and having fewer nutrient deficiencies.
A second answer is normalcy bias.
What kills most people today are lifestyle caused diseases (cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, strokes, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, and kidney disease). These are virtually entirely avoidable for those who choose to ensure no nutrient deficiencies or toxicities.
Suffering and dying of those diet and lifestyle caused diseases is becoming totally optional for people alive today because each person could choose a lifestyle and diet that would give a different outcome. It is ignorance of what are those better lifestyles and diets (as Hosea in the Bible said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge".
And, as always is the case with new paradigms, don't let the nay-sayers stop you from doing what many others are doing, IE, living in perfect health into their one hundreds.
The truth is that many anti-aging experts decelerating their aging. Many believe that they will live two hundred years or more, and that new technologies will arise allowing longevity beyond that. These anti-aging devotees are very strict about a couple of things:
Everyone has to determine for themselves if a long and healthy life is worth the discipline it will take to achieve, or if they want to get chronically ill and die at a normal age like most everyone else.
We hope that your goal is to live in a biologically young body for a very long time — for your body to work the way it should, without pain and without lack of energy, all the way to your last telomere. The way to achieve that goal is to implement the Eight Habits of Health.
For most people, the warning signs of chronic illness begin long before retirement age. In fact, 95% of people develop serious health problems before age 63. If you're already feeling the effects—fatigue, pain, inflammation, poor recovery—consider this a flashing red light. You're on a road that leads to suffering, dependency, and a shortened life. It’s time to stop, reassess, and change course—urgently.
Some say, “I don’t want to outlive my friends or children.” That’s a personal decision—we don’t argue with it. You choose your priorities.
Others say, “Why bother? I might do everything right and still die in an accident.” That’s true—accidents account for about 5% of deaths. But if you focus on that 5% and ignore the 95% likelihood of chronic disease, we probably can’t convince you otherwise.
But if you’re in the 95%... if your health is slipping... and if you want to live well, not just long—there’s still time to turn around.
If you have even a spark of desire to live vibrantly and long—and you believe that it’s worth planning not just for what might happen by chance, but for what you can prevent with intention—then welcome to Healthy Living. You’re in the right place.
There are many places around the world where people do not suffer the health problems that are common in industrialized countries. None of the causes of death listed above are known there. Instead, they simply die in their sleep, very late chronologically in life. The kind of health problems most people have really boil down to not having healthy cells, tissues, and organs because they allowed toxicities and deficiencies to develop.
Ron Rosedale is an Internationally known expert in nutritional and metabolic medicine whose work with diabetics is truly groundbreaking. Very few physicians have had such consistent success in helping diabetics to eliminate or reduce their need for insulin and to reduce heart disease without drugs or surgery.
Dr. Rosedale was founder of the Rosedale Center, co-founder of the Colorado Center for Metabolic Medicine (Boulder, CO USA) and founder of the Carolina Center of Metabolic Medicine (Asheville, NC). Through these centers, he has helped thousands suffering from so-called incurable diseases to regain their health.
One of Dr. Rosedale's life goals is to wipe out type II diabetes in this country as a model for the world. He also has written a book,"The Rosedale Diet", covering his proven treatment methods for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases of aging.
Dr. Valter Longo, a professor of gerontology and biological sciences at the University of Southern California, is renowned for his research on fasting-mimicking diets and their impact on aging and longevity. He advocates that specific dietary patterns can activate cellular regeneration and promote a longer, healthier life.
Dr. Luigi Fontana, a physician and researcher, has extensively studied the effects of calorie restriction and plant-based diets on aging. He posits that such dietary interventions can significantly extend lifespan and healthspan. In his book, "The Path to Longevity," he discusses how a nutrient-rich, low-calorie diet can promote longevity.
Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Fellow and author, has identified regions known as "Blue Zones," where people live significantly longer lives. He attributes this longevity to lifestyle factors, including plant-based diets, regular physical activity, and strong social connections.
Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, a Nobel laureate, has conducted pioneering research on telomeres—the protective caps on chromosomes—and their role in aging. She suggests that lifestyle choices, such as a balanced diet, stress management, and regular exercise, can maintain telomere length and promote healthy aging.
Dr. Peter Attia, a physician focusing on the science of longevity, emphasizes that lifestyle interventions, including nutrition, exercise, and stress management, can significantly impact lifespan and healthspan. In his book, "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity," he explores these concepts in depth.
Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson has embarked on an ambitious endeavor known as "Project Blueprint," aiming to rejuvenate his body's biological age. Through a meticulously structured regimen encompassing a strict vegan diet, precise supplementation, regular exercise, and advanced medical interventions, Johnson reports remarkable results. He claims to have reduced his biological age by over five years, effectively aging only eight months for every chronological year. This suggests a significant deceleration in the aging process, offering a glimpse into the potential of dedicated lifestyle modifications and medical innovations.

Harvard geneticist Dr. David Sinclair has been at the forefront of aging research, proposing that aging is a condition that can be targeted and potentially reversed. His studies have demonstrated that certain molecules, such as NAD+ boosters, can activate sirtuin genes associated with longevity. Notably, Sinclair's lab has successfully reversed age-related vision loss in mice by reprogramming cells to a more youthful state, highlighting the profound possibilities of cellular rejuvenation.

Beyond individual efforts, the scientific community is exploring various compounds with anti-aging properties. For instance, the diabetes medication metformin is under investigation for its potential to mimic the effects of caloric restriction, a known factor in extending lifespan. Additionally, research into NAD+ precursors like NMN shows promise in enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, thereby slowing down aspects of the aging process.

While these developments are promising, it's essential to approach them with a balanced perspective. Ongoing research and clinical trials are crucial to fully understand the long-term implications and safety of these interventions. Nonetheless, the convergence of disciplined lifestyle choices and cutting-edge science is paving the way toward a future where extended youthfulness could become a reality.
