Who Is Your Chief Longevity Officer?

I accidentally gave Sue a new title during a doctor’s appointment: my Chief Longevity Officer. What started as a joke got me thinking about the people who help us stay active, ask better questions, make better decisions and enjoy more quality time along the way.

This week, I’m looking at why longevity may be about more than healthy habits. It may also be about relationships.


How Strong Is the Life You're Building Around You?

A longer life creates more time, but the quality of that time still depends on how you are living it. The Post Career Lifestyle Stress Test provides a quick way to consider whether the different parts of your lifestyle are working together or creating pressures you may not have recognized.


Who are Your Longevity Board Members?

Longevity Should Be a Group Strategy

Longevity is often viewed as an individual responsibility, but many of the behaviors that contribute to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life are reinforced by the people around us.

Recognizing and investing in those relationships can strengthen not only our health, but also our sense of connection, purpose, and well-being.
