The photo on my desk stopped everyone who passed by. Two men at a birthday party, supposedly the same age. Impossible, they’d say. One looked ready for retirement with deep wrinkles and gray hair. The other could pass for a successful 45-year-old executive. These weren’t random strangers. Robert and Richard were identical twins celebrating their…
Your body is slowly betraying you. Every day spent hunched over screens and sitting in chairs creates a cascade of tightness that pulls your posture into painful, aged positions.

Japan has the lowest heart disease rates on Earth, yet their cholesterol levels match Americans and they consume more salt than most nations. Genetics can’t explain this cardiovascular miracle because Japanese people who move to Western countries quickly develop the same heart problems as their neighbors. Something beyond DNA is protecting millions of Japanese hearts…
What if everything you believed about aging was completely wrong? While you spend hundreds on anti-aging creams and treatments, people in a remote mountain village look 20-30 years younger than their actual age without spending a single dollar. Scientists were baffled when they discovered 70-year-olds with the skin and energy of 40-year-olds. The cosmetic industry…

While most 50-year-olds struggle to pick up their grandchildren or climb stairs without fatigue, I’m 75 and can move through my day with the ease of someone decades younger.
