Speaker (Lori Harder) argues that people can choose how they age by setting long-term health goals (e.g., "when I'm 90 I want to run the Boston marathon") and reverse-engineering plans today. She urges a mindset shift from "sick care" to proactive "healthcare," treating health as an investment to reprogram the life one wants.
We live in a day and age now where you can basically decide how you want to age. Let's say you decide where you know, like, you know What? When I'm 90 years old, I want to run the Boston marathon. When I'm 90 years old. If that's a target for you, we can actually start planning that now so we can reverse engineer that. And that is completely within the grasp of the majority of people. So if folks shift their mindset instead of sick care to healthcare, and instead they start looking at things differently, where they're like, hey, listen, my health is an investment, then that's where you can actually start to reprogram the life that you really want.
