With all due respect to Dame Helen, I define anti-aging not as something against age but as an effort to reduce the degeneration that normally accompanies aging. Jon Herron once wrote an article talking about the recatangularization of health span. I created the graphic below as it paints a big yellow target on my key area of address.<\/p>\n

Our bodies peak at age 25 and by 35 we have lost 14% of our hormone production capacity. And it keeps getting worse from there!<\/p>\n
Jon wrote it’s like rolling down a mountain for the last 50 years of your life, picking up symptoms and disease until you die. He said, wouldn’t it be better if we could figure out how to maintain our health across the top of the graph and fall off a cliff at some advanced age rather than rolling down a mountain.<\/p>\n
So I made that my mission, to help people fall off a cliff rather than rolling down a mountain! LOL!<\/p>\n
