This is a magazine created for you, the reader. Thank you for subscribing. Together, we are going to do amazing things. If you love life and want it to last as long as possible. If you want to stay healthy, sharp, and capable for decades to come. If you want to live fully without becoming a burden on the people you love. Or if you simply want to perform at your highest level for as long as possible, then this magazine is for you. Over the years, I’ve listened carefully to you, my audience, people who are curious, optimistic, and determined to take control of their health and their future. Lifespan is my answer to those conversations. Some of you may have read Lifespan, a book I co-wrote in 2019. Others may have listened to the Lifespan show. Today we’re launching a new endeavor, Lifespan Magazine. Across all these efforts, my goal is the same: I want to create opportunities for learning where the science is checked, the claims are sourced, and the advice is judged by whether it is credible, useful, and grounded in real data. ![Image 13: Dr. David A.
