Grateful for for dialing in my training with a focus on eccentric strength—it made all the difference descending 1000 feet through the Black Forest in Germany.

Why do I train? Not just for the ability to do things like this now—but so I can move with ease into my 80s and beyond. Longevity isn’t just about living longer—it’s about moving well, living fully, and feeling strong every step of the way.

Even on vacation you can always find a challenge. $150 was given if you can hang for 2 minutes. It’s harder than it looks. I did my best but I didn’t win.

Today marks the birthday of my beloved mother-in-law, who passed away six months ago. She holds a special place in my heart as one of my earliest patients, introducing me to her son, my husband. Her life was a testament to Healthspan living and cherishing every moment. Despite her physical departure at the age of 96, her love and wisdom continue to inspire us, making her a timeless role model. 💛

Why do the French live longer than Americans? 85.7 y/o F, 80 M vs 79.1 F, 73.2 M.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in France and US. Cancer is next.

In France the prevalence of lung cancer is quite high.
36% of French adults are smokers, the highest rate in Europe.

Some explanations for their longevity:
1. Although their is a great emphasis on food, they seldom snack. They will have 3 balanced meals but one (lunch) is the largest meal. The food proportions are much smaller than in the US.
2. France has universal healthcare, providing access to affordable healthcare to all citizens.
3. Americans are obsessed with physical activity as much as they are with inactivity. It’s not common to go to the gym to workout as it is in the US which is then followed by (which I believe is our problem) hours of sitting. It is difficult to own a car in Paris. Walking or biking are preferred and the French are generally moving all day.
4. The French are very social. They enjoy spending time with friends and family. Americans are much more individualistic.

At Healthspan, we advocate for creating a tech-free sleep sanctuary to promote restful sleep and optimal brain function. Here's why it matters:

🌙 Quality sleep is essential for cognitive function, memory consolidation, and overall brain health.

📱 The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep.

🔇 Distractions from notifications and late
-night phone use can interfere with deep, restorative sleep, leaving you feeling groggy and unfocused the next day.

By keeping your phone out of reach at bedtime, you give your brain the opportunity to unwind and recharge without digital distractions. 🛌

Prioritize your sleep hygiene and create a peaceful environment conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation. Your brain—and your body—will thank you for it! 💤
