PERSONAL STRATEGIES TO
INCREASE YOUR LIFESPAN Having dedicated my career to helping people live their best possible lives, constantly pushing back and challenging the limits of our own human potential, I can say with great certainty that if we can incorporate a few key principles into our mindset, then we can not only extend our Health Span, but also our eventual Lifespan.

Self Determination Mindset – We truly are in control of our own destinies. If something

Longevity Mindset – It shocks me how few people have this mindset. Maybe you’re not concerning yourself with living as long as possible, but it’s definitely worth focusing on maximising your health span, extending those healthy years of joy and purpose.
