About Brian Vaszily
Brian Vaszily (Vay-Zlee) is a popular and outspoken advocate, author, and researcher with over two decades of experience in natural health who opposes the widespread perception that likens getting older to getting a disease and who instead supports the truth that your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond can and should be the best years of your life.

Brian is the founder and host at TheArtofAnti-Aging.com, where he’s already amassed a following of well over 500,000 supporters for his mission and where in his own words…

“We’re changing the very definition of ‘anti-aging’ to mean you’re against all the lies commonly associated with getting older, such as that hitting your 40s and beyond means becoming increasingly undesirable, incapable, and doomed to suffering and disease.”

Instead, so many people have embraced https://theartofantiaging.com/anti-ag... because Brian shares a very positive message – in terms of your physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being, your middle years and Golden years are truly meant to be your “best years.”

And he and his team provide people a wide range of heavily research-based solutions, along with a healthy dose of inspiration, to help ensure your middle and Golden years ARE your best years.
