Ep 089: A Test that Predicts Early Mortality

Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you want to set yourself up with the greatest opportunity for the greatest health span and lifespan. In order words, you want to live as long as you can as healthy as you can.

One of the most challenging things people face as they age is loss of strength and mobility. Once we reach a certain age, our muscle mass and strength naturally decline unless we do something to oppose it. It takes work and it takes energy. But it beats spending our later years in a wheelchair or worse!

The test I talk about in the podcast has been shown to be correlated with a higher risk of early mortality. Give it a try and see how you do!
