Who’s Is Helping You Live Longer? [Academy]

Who’s Helping You Live Longer?

I just finished reading Dr. Peter Attia’s latest book, “Outlive”, the science and art of longevity. The book is based on what he calls a “Centenarian Decathlon,” the things you need to do to live 10 plus decades. When I see people who are a hundred years old or more and are still active, it makes me want to achieve that same milestone. Peter admits there’s a genetic component to living a long time, but it’s not a direct correlation. That got me wondering about my future. I’m in pretty good shape for my age. I eat pretty well, exercise and get lots of sleep. What else can I do?

To get those answers I asked my dental hygienist. That’s right, my dental hygienist. Gwen has been a dental professional for over 30 years and knows how having a healthy body contributes to having a healthy mouth and how having a healthy mouth contributes to having a healthy body. Gwen is one of the smartest dental professionals I know. But she took her knowledge to a whole new level by becoming a Certified Integrative Nutritional Health Coach. She knows so much about being healthy because he has made the journey health herself. Through so many years of helping others, she found herself needing to make changes to her own health. After losing more than 60 lbs. and becoming Certified, Gwen now manages 20 other coaches and more than 100 of her own clients of her own. As of March, she will be retiring from dentistry, dedicating all of her time to coaching others how to live healthier, happier lives...
