How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Longevity?
Mainstream medicine's approach to longevity is to wait for a disease, then manage it.
Annual labs if you ask. A statin conversation at 58. "Stay active." The visit is built for the next abnormal number, not for the decade you still want. Aging is treated as a countdown you observe.
Sound like your last doctor's appointment?
We all know there are 80-year-olds climbing Everest, and 80-year-olds who can't climb off the couch. What makes the difference? It's not just "genetics."
What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Longevity?
Commonly missed root causes of longevity include insulin resistance, silent vessel injury, sleep debt, and declining fitness.
Years of function are lost in insulin resistance, silent vessel injury, sleep debt, and a VO2 that slid while the physical still said "fine." A normal CBC is not a healthspan plan. Waiting for the first event is a late strategy dressed up as prevention.
