What if we treated Aging like a Sport?
A sport called “Aging”, played by “Longevity-Athletes”, who had to use their skill, strategy, knowledge, and training to overcome the predictable physical hurdles that we all face as we play the “aging” game – a game with a timeline of up to a century? How would we design the training of this “Longevity-Athlete”?
At Sanctavía, we have spent our life’s work asking these questions.
Modern culture has convinced people that, after the age of 40, they need to switch from “self-care” to “health-care”. But, could there be a paradigm shift in which these began to be seen as two sides of the same coin, working together as part of a larger whole?
What would that look like?
Could we move from “Anti-Aging” to “Powerful Aging”?
From “Length of Life” to “Quality of Life”?
From “Life-Span” to “Health-Span”?
Aging is a beautiful part of Life. It means we have unparalleled Wisdom, incredible memories, and Life Experience. But does Aging need to be code for “Frailty?”.
Instead of being “Anti-Aging”…could we be “Pro-Aging”…just “Anti-Frailty?Do these two ideas definitely need to conflict?
Try to see the full timeline of a life from the birds-eye view – as one story.
We don’t need to train because the 40 year old us on the timeline is vain but, rather, because the 80 year old us on the timeline will still have Adventures they’ll want to go on when we arrive.
Our job is to do our part to ensure that Elder us can go on those Adventures.
Because the paths we take, and the choices we make, between now and then on the timeline are going to directly shape our experience of Life when we arrive to our Elder self.
“Who you have lived as” is “who is going to arrive”.
It is an honor to have the opportunity to care for, and to work to Empower, our Future selves.
Introducing this paradigm-shift led directly to Sanctavía training some of the most elite individuals on Earth; from members of Tier 1 Special Forces units, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, to NFL players, Film/Broadway/Metropolitan Opera stars, and the Executive Teams of several $100 million a year organizations.
After a lifetime of work leading this field, if there was one big worldview-shift in understanding we could give people, it would be this:
In a world where 64 and up is the fastest growing age group on Earth – Sustainable, Longevity-focused, Mental and Physical training, designed from the beginning specifically around the endgame of “Longevity” and “Quality of Life” is the only way forward. And getting world class education, training, and self-care empowerment into the hands of hundreds of millions of people is the only way to do it.
As we often say in Sanctavía: “Fitness” isn’t the Endgame. Longevity is. Once we truly understand this…Everything Changes”.
Age Powerfully.
Because it is time for the Rise…of the Longevity-Athlete.
This is Sanctavía.
