More good years with the people you love

Hi, I'm Chris.

Like a lot of people, I started paying real attention to my health when I realized that how long I live matters a lot less to me than how well I live. I want to stay sharp, strong and independent, and to be fully present for the people I love, for as many years as I can.

So I started reading. Studies, books, expert interviews, the good, the bad and the overhyped. Thriving with Age is where I share what I learn.

What this site is about#

The goal is healthspan: the years you spend in good health, not just the total. That covers a lot of ground, from diet, exercise and sleep to chronic disease, mental health, relationships and purpose. Your mind matters just as much as your body, and it gets a lot of attention here.

How I write#

• Evidence first. I cite sources and try to be clear about how strong (or weak) the evidence is.
• No miracle cures. If something sounds too good to be true, I'll say so.
• Practical. Every article should leave you with something you can actually do.

I'm not a doctor, and nothing here is personal medical advice. Please read the medical disclaimer and talk to your own healthcare providers before making changes.
