    45-Second Balance Test That Reveals How Your Healthspan Compares to Peers

    This series explores how you can reliably measure your healthspan and longevity based on research of over 700,000 subjects over 5 decades using simple functional tests across the 5 domains of physical and cognitive function. In studies tracking thousands of adults over decades, researchers discovered this 45-second balance test is the most powerful predictor of falls, mobility loss, and cognitive decline years before symptoms appear. It detects balance deterioration sooner than most medical exams. What you'll learn: How the single-leg balance test reveals brain-body integration Why balance predicts future mobility better than strength tests The connection between balance and cognitive decline How proprioception and neuromotor function decline with age How to interpret your results using age-specific percentile charts Your balance system integrates input from your eyes, inner ears, and proprioception—your body's ability to sense where it is in space. When this integration declines, it signals that brain-body communication and neuromotor efficiency are declining together. 🎯 Key Timestamps: 0:56 - What the balance test protocol reveals 1:24 - Uncovering a blind spot 2:05 The Single Leg Balance Test 2:28 Whay balance is a powerful predictor 3:06 Story of 70-year-old male 3:44 Balance is about integration — proprioception 4:20 Balance times for healthy adults 5:05 Balance can be trained 5:35 Explore other domains of function and aging 6:00 First research of its kind 6:10 Where to learn more Video: https://youtu.be/_yCbjyYLugA?si=wTYG-5N8n3Q_RIvC 📚 Complete functional healthspan 44 self-assessment framework: FUNCTION book available worldwide More: https://www.whealthspan.com/ Scott Fulton is a professor of healthspan and aging at three universities #Balance #HealthSpan #FunctionalAging #BrainHealth #Mobility #aging #longevity #FunctionalHealth #cognitivehealth Whealthspan is where curiosity meets healthspan and longevity.

    3-Second Test That Predicts Healthspan Better than Biomarkers

    This series explores how you can reliably measure your healthspan based on research of over 700,000 subjects over 5 decades using simple functional tests across the 5 domains of physical and cognitive function.    In a study of 140,000+ people across 17 countries, researchers discovered this 3-second grip strength test predicted heart attack, stroke, and early death better than blood pressure measurements. It subsequently was found to be the earliest predictor of healthspan. What you'll learn: - How to perform the standardized grip strength test at home - Why grip strength reveals your entire body's aging process - The connection between grip strength and sarcopenia (muscle loss) - The neuromuscular connection—it's not simply muscle strength - How to interpret your results using age-specific percentile charts Your grip contains 34 muscles connected to your entire neuromuscular system. When grip strength declines, it signals that muscle mass, bone density, and nervous system function are all declining together. 🎯 Key Timestamps: 0:52 - How to perform the test properly 1:52 - Why grip predicts aging acceleration 4:44 - How to interpret your results with percentile charts 6:17 - What your score means for healthspan 📚 Complete functional healthspan 44 self-assessment framework: FUNCTION book available worldwide Video: https://youtu.be/_JFGHkL-qE8 More: https://www.whealthspan.com/ Scott Fulton is a professor of healthspan and aging a three universities #GripStrength #HealthSpan #FunctionalAging #LongevityTest #HeartHealth #aging #longevity #FunctionalHealth Whealthspan is where curiosity meets healthspan and longevity.

    Brain Healthspan - Choose the Brain You Want with Mike Studer PhD

    Gameify your brain at every age. It's why some things are fun to learn and why brain healthspan is often more fun than exercise. Cognitive Reserve explains why, despite physical aging, some people's brains remain sharp, even into old age. Neuroplasticity is exercise for the brain, but instead of building muscle, it builds neural connections—the circuitry in your brain. Age doesn't define when it stops,  you do. It's actively waiting to build new connections at any age. Mike Studer, PhD joins us for a fast-paced hour of tips and tricks on training your brain in ways that are fun and engaging. Want to feel like a kid again? You'll feel those thoughts coming back and what's behind them. https://mikestuder.com/ https://www.whealthspan.com/ Whealthspan is where curiosity meets healthspan and longevity.

    Turning the Tide on Chronic Disease - CMS Medicare Big Experiment - Yuri Sudhakar

    New Medicare funding model could move from sick care to building healthspan. This WHEALTHSPAN Podcast episode explores how #lifestyle #medicine can transform #healthcare in the wake of CMS’s decision to fund lifestyle‑based models for chronic disease starting in 2026. The conversation with Nudj Health CEO, Yuri Sudhakar, unpacks how targeted changes in nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, and social connection can prevent, treat, and in some cases reverse cardiometabolic diseases, shifting care from reactive “sick care” to proactive healthspan. The episode highlights what it will take for clinicians and health systems to operationalize lifestyle medicine—integrating multidisciplinary teams, remote support, and meaningful measurement—so that evidence‑based lifestyle interventions become a routine part of everyday care, not a bolt‑on or afterthought.

    Longevity Risk Financial Planning 2.0 - It's Time to Get Real

    Start asking your financial planner better questions, because chances are, they aren't offering up the information you really need.  The financial industry has been talking about Longevity Risk for a few years, and so you might think they've got you covered.
