From ancient practices to cutting-edge science, humanity's quest for a longer, healthier life has reached a new frontier. Roberta Lipson, founder of United Family Healthcare, spotlights this evolution in her analysis of the book Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, advocating a paradigm shift from reactive disease treatment to proactive aging intervention.
Lipson emphasizes that advancements in cellular-level research now challenge long-held assumptions about age-related conditions like hypertension and diabetes. "We're moving beyond merely extending lifespan," she explains, "toward maximizing 'healthspan'—the period of life spent in good health."
This perspective aligns with PAGE X's mission to democratize transformative ideas through literary exploration. The program's curated book discussions, featuring experts across disciplines, aim to bridge academic insights with public understanding. Previous episodes have examined Taoist philosophy's modern relevance and lessons from Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie.
For audiences ranging from healthcare investors to wellness enthusiasts, Lipson's commentary underscores Asia's growing role in medical innovation. As global interest in preventive medicine surges, her analysis offers actionable insights into the economic and social implications of longevity research.
