About this listen
Many people ask a difficult question: Why live longer if it just means more years of frailty?
This episode breaks down the real science behind healthspan vs lifespan and why modern longevity research is not about extending sickness, but about reducing it.
We explore:
• The difference between healthspan, lifespan and sickspan
• What “compression of morbidity” actually means
• Why today’s adults reach older age with less disability and less dementia than previous generations
• How physical resilience, muscle strength, cognition and metabolic health determine functional age
• Evidence that people can become functionally younger even at the same chronological age
• How sleep, exercise, diet, stress and recovery influence biological aging
• What recent clinical trials reveal about reversing or slowing decline
If you’ve ever wondered whether living longer automatically means becoming weaker or whether it’s possible to extend the years of life lived in good health — this episode gives you the answer.
