Hi there,
I spent part of this month swimming in the Mediterranean, climbing Italian stairs, and eating almond granita in Sicily. I loved it.
Then came three conferences in Austin, Coronado, and New York, all in a week.
By the end, I felt spiritually amazing, and physically terrible.
My sleep had been difficult even during the lovely part of the trip, and now it's definitively wrecked!
I need to recover. But how much can a few better nights actually undo?
Speaking at so many conferences about bringing longevity into everyday care.
TL;DR
Short sleep affects focus, insulin response, and immune activity.
Recovery helps, but one good night may not be enough.
Start with a manageable routine. Use tests to answer a clear question.
What I keep hearing from clinicians
Longevity feels like it's everywhere. But clinicians are still wrapping their heads around what's real, what's hype, and what they can use in practice.
I spoke with hundreds of clinicians across my recent conferences, and several of my talks tackled that exact problem: what is ready for the clinic, and what might be used cautiously?
What I'm seeing more and more is frustration with half-answers. A test gives you a number. A product promises to improve it. But what are you actually supposed to do next?
Longevity also means meeting the patient where they are. We don't all want the same thing.
I'd be happy living as long as possible if I could still use a computer and hug my loved ones. My partner would rather look good and die at 70 😆.
Before choosing a test or treatment, I want to know what someone hopes to keep doing, what matters to them now, and what they're willing to take on to get there.
