Alicia Mackey Huber argues we don't live to 100 because we barely monitor our health. Most people get blood work every three to five years, but biomarkers change hourly. Without frequent, detailed measurements, we can't intervene in the processes that determine lifespan.
The average person is getting blood work done. So they get their average blood panel every three to five years. Not everyone is getting an annual. And it changes every four months or more frequently. So many numbers on that sheet change hourly. Right. I mean, they tell you to do it in a fasted state because if you weren't fasted, the numbers would be different. That's all the information you need to know that we do not measure sufficiently high resolution to understand human health. And so any person today, we treat it like an absolute lottery win. When someone lives to 100, we're just like blue zones, centenarians. It's unbelievable. How do they do it? Well, it is unbelievable because they did it completely through luck. It's threading the needle in a thousand ways. And that doesn't have to be that way.
