#26 – The Link Between Aging and Longevity in Retirement

Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean that you should stop your efforts for longevity. After all, planning for a happy retirement includes following core pursuits and socializing with family and friends. Aging is inevitable, but for those retiring it can be a concern. Planning your retirement with a life expectancy of 70 years old is different from planning for a life expectancy of 90 years old.

In today’s episode, Wes interviews Dr. Andrew Steele, a London-based bio-gerontologist, writer, and campaigner as he explains some of the research behind his new book Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old. They discuss risk factors of diseases, such as cancer and dementia, the impact of excessive daily exercise, and why sleep is essential to your health.
