Building a 'longevity mindset' can help you live longer, says one expert. Here's how | Fortune Well
"We're in the middle of a healthspan revolution. You don't want to be the last person to miss it."
"First and foremost, one of the most important things that a person needs to do is to build what I call a longevity mindset,"
"Chances are you really have no idea what's going on inside you. Most of us know in much better detail and perspective what's going on inside our car or our refrigerator than we do inside our body,"
A major push toward extending healthy years includes a $101 million XPRIZE with over 200 signups to find therapeutics that could reverse aging by a decade. Proactive clinics perform broad biomarker testing and deliver precise, personalized recommendations to identify hidden risks early. Cultivating a longevity mindset helps prioritize healthy behaviors, motivates understanding of individual risk factors, and encourages early action. Negative views on aging and self-directed ageism increase stress, raise cardiovascular and chronic disease risk, and reduce social engagement, worsening mental and physical outcomes. Lifestyle choices remain foundational alongside emerging diagnostics and therapies.
