They discuss the importance of mental health in extending health span and quality of life. Healthspan comprises three components: cognitive, physical, and emotional resilience. The goal is to minimize the gap between the first encounter with death and cardiopulmonary death, with the ultimate goal being to live a long, healthy life and then die quickly without suffering. Medicine is focused on treating chronic diseases once they appear, but Dr. Attia believes preventative treatment would be more effective in extending the health span.
