Dentists don't have to ask if you are going to be brushing your teeth for the next decades, or for the rest of your life. They know you are going to. No debate about it.  When your prescribing Doctor tells you that "you will be taking this for the rest of your life", there really is no

This comes up much more often that you would think. People telling me that 1. They are 'too old' to start their longevity trek, or 2. They are 'too young' to start their longevity trek.  When you take a step back and analyze both of these answers, we have to wonder why both groups think that their time on the planet has automatically excluded ...

From the times that you want to spend with your friends or grandchildren, to the moments of catching your favorite ...

In the Magician's Nephew C.S. Lewis describes the previously dark heaven of Narnia and the appearance of all the stars in it as 'a thousand points of light'. That term was then later used by George H. W. Bush in his Presidential acceptance speech as he likened the clubs and volunteerism of America to "a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a...

One of the integral parts of the Empire Longevity Pyramid of Health is MOTION (see the Empire Longevity White Paper: A Core Understanding).

We are still a long, very raucous, and what will be a very tiring run up to the 2020 Presidential election. One of the very heated talking points, and one that will be under the very deep inspection by EMPIRE LONGEVITY, is Health Care.

"Yes, you DO have great insurance. It's just that we do not have enough doctors to see all the patients we have" could be a very real problem, very quickly.

Here's homework for you: With this time that we have, with it, what else do you want to learn? This is just me, but I find it to have the knowledge, the time, and the focus that we have with our added years that we don't do more with it. This is just me, but I think we need to make a bigger impact upon our communities, upon our families, upon our f...

You are regularly bashed over the head on how bad THAT bug is, and the NEXT one coming could be even worse when all the while not a peep on just how you and I, o...

If you REALLY knew how long your life was going to be you prob...
