Normal keeps you average. Optimal keeps you younger.
Why Normal Isn’t Good Enough
Most doctors are trained to manage disease, not prevent it. They look for what’s broken, not what’s possible.
But have you seen what they call “normal”?
- Diabetes by 60.
- Less activity every year.
- Achy joints and slower recovery.
- Hormones tanking.
- Brain fog and fatigue written off as “just aging.”
This checklist gives you the exact questions I used to separate sick-care from healthspan care, and it shows you if your doctor is truly invested in your future, not just today’s visit.

"Imagine being 55 and moving like you’re 40. Waking up clear-headed, strong, and confident because your doctor aimed higher than “normal.” That’s what this checklist is about: finding a doctor who doesn’t just keep you alive, but keeps you living younger."

The Questions That Changed Everything
Most doctors told me I was “fine for my age.” But fine wasn’t enough. The ones who stood out tracked the right labs, aimed higher than normal, and built a plan for my 80s while I was still in my 40s.
That changed everything.
Now I’m handing you those same questions the checklist I used to find a doctor who builds healthspan, not just manages sick care.
