In this course, students will learn how mainstream medicine is designed to keep us alive but not healthy. We will cover the main determinants of premature death and actual interventions that prevent or reverse these conditions, contrasting these approaches to the currently used and very poor therapies that simply keep people ill longer. We will address myths of ageing and the differences between centenarians and the rest of the population. Finally, we will cover diet, exercise, and drugs that can be deployed now to increase our lifespan as well as our healthspan.
