We’re living longer — is that a good thing?Human lifespan is increasing. But a new global analysis of 204 countries and territories found that the gap between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy (your healthspan) has widened significantly since 1990.¹
By the numbers:
- In 2023, people spent an average of 10.7 years in poor health.
- This is up from 8.8 years in 1990. That's nearly 22% more time spent living with disability or illness.
The biggest contributors? Low back pain, depression and anxiety, age-related hearing loss, and falls accounted for more than half of unhealthy years globally.
When we talk about longevity in this newsletter, we are talking about both extending your lifespan and your healthspan. And it’s never too early or too late to prioritize habits or seek care for a medical condition that can help you do both. After all, we’re playing the long game.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with 20g of organic protein & up to 10g of fiber |
|
 |
Protein bars are such a convenient snack (as an RD, I lean on them all the time). But finding one that’s high in protein and isn’t loaded with artificial sweeteners, yet still tastes like dessert, is a challenge. Linear Bar bridges that gap.
Each bar provides 20 grams of protein and is crafted with USDA certified organic ingredients (and no seed oils or sucralose) for a satisfying bite.
Plus, the indulgent, dessert-inspired flavors make this healthy habit something you’ll look forward to. Think layers of texture and flavor, including chocolate coating, a rich caramel filling, and a satisfyingly chewy center.
Oh, and did we mention each bar has up to 10 grams of fiber? Talk about a filling and balanced snack.

Is too much choice making you miserable? |
|
 |
Decision fatigue? Guilty. Well, that could be because more freedom doesn’t always mean more creativity or success. On the latest mindbodygreen podcast, journalist David Epstein explains why constraints and structure can actually help us perform at our best—from elite athletes to everyday life. Here’s why creating the right framework may be the key to doing more with less.
+Structure is good
