In 40 years of practicing medicine, I've never had a patient say no to living another year as long as they're feeling good. That's the key insight.
Chris Burres from MyVitalC interviewed 57 longevity experts, and only three of them said they wanted to live as long as humans are capable of living. The rest? They couldn't picture health without infirmity.
