The Global Longevity Gap

Where you are born still determines how long you live.
In some countries, average life expectancy exceeds 86 years.
In others, it struggles to reach 55.
This is not a genetic gap. It is a systems gap.
Longevity is shaped by access to clean water, nutrition, vaccination, education, maternal care, and basic prevention. But it is also shaped by what happens later in life: cardiometabolic health, inflammation, lifestyle, early detection, and continuity of care.
The science of longevity already exists. The problem is distribution.
This is why I am working to democratize longevity medicine.
Not as luxury care for a few, but as scalable, data-driven, preventive health for many.
Closing the global longevity gap is not only about extending lifespan.
It is about extending healthspan and making evidence-based prevention accessible earlier, everywhere.
Longevity should not be a privilege of geography
