#1 New Release offers a shot at life's Triple Crown: Money, Health, and Time to pursue the things we enjoy.

Fulton's analysis of more than 55 million Americans over 90 years is revealing in many ways. Achieving the top 10% of lifespan is well within reach for almost everyone, but most will needlessly throw tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars away in hard-earned equity and fall far short of their active longevity potential.

Thankfully, life's Triple Crown doesn't rely on longevity genetics, bio-hacks, or unrealistic diet and exercise regimes. It simply requires looking behind the noise, myths, and confusion of Western life and discovering what a medically proven healthy lifestyle balance really means.

• A 60-year-old can add 11 more years (42% bonus years) by reaching the 90th percentile.
  • What are proven ways to get on that trajectory?
• Since 2010, for every American living longer, another is dying younger, which is why life expectancy has flatlined.
  • If you're relying on family and peers for comparison, you're likely in for an unwelcome surprise.
• Atherosclerotic (ischemic) heart and stroke is 3.8 times higher than the next leading cause of death (Alzheimer's) in adults age 65+ and is largely preventable.
  • Do you know how to actively manage these risks while simultaneously de-risking many other common chronic diseases?

The longevity industry has baited us with anti-aging hacks and supplements that are great for sales, but the human data overwhelmingly says those strategies are not working. A decades-long slide now leaves the U.S. outside the top 50 countries for life expectancy. Every other country has made steady progress toward living longer, and even inside the U.S., there are over 60 communities with life expectancies of over 90. These represent millions of people living happy, healthy, active lives. It's not access to better food, housing, and medicine. What are they doing right?

WHEALTHSPAN is a foundation for knowledge, inclusive of cultural and value differences that make us all unique. There are many simple and easy ways to live better, longer; the secret is in learning where our individual opportunities are hiding and what works best for each of us.

You will learn what aging really is, how our choices influence our biology, and how interdependent they are. The five foundations of Whealthspan, Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, and Community (MEDAC), work together to create predictable outcomes, both near and long term, often for minimal investment of time. Moving and inspiring stories are interspersed throughout the book, reminding us that the secrets of human life aren't found in research laboratories or DIY, 10-step listicles to looking younger.

"It's like reading downhill," was one editor's comment. With over a dozen testimonials from leading physicians, economists, and aging experts, Whealthspan is a rare and enjoyable read. You'll discover yourself throughout the book as you connect the dots and begin looking forward to aging with renewed enthusiasm and hope.
