About this course

Foundations of Longevity moves from first principles to practical judgment. You will define longevity beyond years lived, examine why longer lives are a personal and societal transformation, understand ageing across biological and functional levels, and learn what most strongly shapes healthspan. You will then evaluate measurements, screening, interventions, and commercial claims before building a focused 90-day strategy. A progressive claim audit runs through the course so that every new concept becomes a tool for better decisions—not another fact to memorize.
