Optispan is a vision for what health should be.
The typical person gives up 10-20 years of quality life in exchange for disability, frailty, and early death. We call this "the lost decade". Time that should be spent with loved ones doing the activities you enjoy are instead spent suffering from multiple diseases and taking a cabinet full of medications that probably do as much harm as good.
We believe that the current practice of medicine is disease care, not health care. We believe that everyone can get closer to their own optimal healthspan.
Join us on a journey of discovery as we explore the science of longevity and optimal healthspan ("Optispan"). The journey is the reward.
We hope you find this content valuable, join by subscribing to the channel, and come back often. More importantly, we hope that you apply what you learn here to recover your lost decade, and perhaps much more.

It’s important to know your baseline.
For example, if someone usually has a hemoglobin of 17 and it drops to 13, that’s huge, even if it’s still “normal.”
Frequent testing shows the trend, not just a single number, so we can make smarter health decisions with the doctor.
