Why I Chose to Focus on Longevity

What Longevity Really Means to Me

When I tell people I work in the field of longevity, they often think it means wanting to live to 100 or beyond. But my understanding of longevity isn’t about the number of years—it’s about the quality of life. It’s not about how long we live, but how well we live.

For me, longevity starts here and now—in the stage of maturity where we often juggle careers, relationships, caregiving, and the persistent question: what about me? It’s in these moments we get the chance to reflect on our habits, values, and priorities. Because what is the point of life—especially a long life—if we spend most of it feeling dissatisfied, tired, and emotionally drained?

Longevity isn’t just about physical endurance—it’s the art of living fully, joyfully, creatively, and curiously. It’s the ability to find meaning and energy today, right now, and even later in life when things may slow down.

Two Kinds of Longevity

That’s why I believe we need to cultivate two kinds of longevity:

• Lifespan – the total time we spend on this Earth

• Healthspan – the years in which we are truly healthy, active, and independent

The science of longevity, functional medicine, personalized nutrition, and biohacking strategies allow us to expand both. But the true goal is not to just add years, but to increase the number of years we spend healthy, clear-minded, and vibrant.

To invest in ourselves now so that even in our 70s, 80s, or 90s we can still create, learn, travel, love, dance, and explore. To maintain mental sharpness, hormonal balance, and physical strength—when others may have given up.

A Personal and Professional Mission

For me, this has become both a personal and professional mission. As a Gen X woman caught between the demands of work, family, and personal growth, I’ve decided to turn this into both a business challenge and a passion.

Longevity isn’t just a trend—it’s the future. And more than that, it’s a deep inner call to live and work more consciously, sustainably, and connectedly.

Working in longevity has opened doors to the worlds of science, regeneration, optimal health, mental focus, biohacking, anti-aging strategies, quality sleep, and personal growth. At the same time, it’s posed a real challenge: how to stay truly alive and awake, even after youth fades.

Longevity Is Not a Formula—It’s a Journey

This is not a simple topic. Longevity is vast and complex: it raises questions, evokes emotions, and takes time to truly understand. It encompasses biological, psychological, spiritual, and social dimensions—many of which we’ll explore together over time.

My writings will be grounded in science, research, data, and lived experience, because I believe we need a strong foundation if we want to build the future of longevity.

It must also be said clearly: there is no one-size-fits-all solution. No magic pill. No single recipe or instruction that works for everyone.

Longevity is a deeply personal journey that requires tailored solutions, persistence, and conscious choices. In the end, the most important factor is the individual—their daily decisions, their attitude toward life, and their willingness to take responsibility for themselves.

A Joyful, Human Vision of Longevity

I believe we can co-create a culture of longevity that is joyful, healthy, mindful, vital, and deeply human.

And that’s exactly what I’m building through the Longevity Travel project.
