LONGEVITY IS EARNED: The Science Behind My Sustained Vitality at 60

My energy is not a secret, but a scientific strategy. The core of my approach is leveraging the body’s innate cellular recycling program, known as Autophagy (Greek for 'self-eating'). Intermittent fasting scientifically triggers this vital cleanup mechanism, clearing damaged components and making cells more resilient.

For a business owner and academic like myself, this isn't just about living longer; it’s about maximizing cognitive focus and sustained metabolic efficiency—essential for pursuing major IKIGAI projects and service.

Want the roadmap to sustained vitality, backed by evidence? My book synthesizes the PhD-level research into actionable steps.
