WHEALTHSPAN: More Years, More Moments, More Money
WHEALTHSPAN is about capturing opportunities before they slip through our fingers. It places a flashlight in our hands to help guide us through the noise-filled darkness of media hype, outdated myths, and a medical system designed for purposes other than our proactive health and longevity. Life’s distractions are daunting and unrelenting, but as knowledge sometimes does, it helps separate the chaff from the wheat.
At the core, our life stories are about connections with our physical, biological, emotional, and cognitive selves and, most certainly, connections with others and our life experiences. We’ll explore what goes into supporting those connections, including the signaling between our cells, and even with themselves. If human longevity could be distilled down to just one simple thing, it would be preserving our connections.
But there's more to our outcomes than wealth and biology. Mindset and a personal framework create an environment for success. A decade more of active and fulfilling years is well within reach for most of us, once we get a framework in place and the means to track our trajectory.
The author shares several personal stories of people faced with difficult choices, which bring warmth and inspiration to a topic that is often distant and prescribing. It's about real life, not perfect scenarios and ideal situations. Life can be messy, yet it's those who find a way through difficult challenges that end up experiencing outcomes we all aspire to.
Scott B. Fulton teaches at the University of Virginia and the University of Delaware campuses through adult education programs. He is President of the National Aging in Place Council, President of Home Ideations LLC, and a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Fulton is an inspiring keynote speaker with rich stories and a focus on the changing landscape in front of all of us.

The book focuses on building a framework for success based on factual data based of 55 million people over 90 years and inspiring stories about real people. Instead of anti-aging hacks, WHEALTHSPAN builds a foundation for sustained success where better outcomes are inevitable and aging is viewed as an opportunity with an extra decade awaiting those looking to get more out of life.
