Welcome to Rejuvenate Your Life!


The healthy lifestyle choices featured in this course can rejuvenate your life and set you up for exceptional aging.

Course Description



Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illnesses will suddenly appear. - Hippocrates

 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. – Benjamin Franklin

 This course presents nine, easy-to-understand, practical, evidence-based healthy lifestyle choices that nurture body, mind, and spirit. Embracing these nine lifestyle choices provides a comprehensive approach that encompasses your entire being, not just your physical body. In my view, the triad of body, mind, and spirit captures the breadth of human existence. Embracing these healthy lifestyle choices can improve your physical health, elevate your emotional well-being, and prevent or at least postpone chronic diseases until late in life.

This graphic summarizes the nine healthy lifestyle choices and their relationships to the body, mind, and spirit.



How Rejuvenate Your Life! Is Organized


This course has 12 sections, each of which has from one to six lessons. Nearly every lesson ends with a quiz that will help you know if you understand the material you’ve just covered.

Section 1 introduces the course and explains that it’s based on nine healthy lifestyle choices that nurture body, mind, and spirit.

Sections 2-4 cover three lifestyle choices (Keep Moving, Eat Better, Sleep More & Better) that primarily nurture the body.

Sections 5-7 feature three lifestyle choices (Cultivate Social Connections, Defuse Chronic Stress, Keep Learning) that primarily nurture the mind.

Sections 8-10 highlight three lifestyle choices (Develop a Positive Mental Attitude, Live with Purpose, Participate in a Spiritual Community) that primarily nurture the spirit.

Sections 2–10 focus on the benefits of embracing one healthy choice at a time. But life really isn’t a matter of making one healthy choice, at least not over the long haul. Section 11 highlights research showing the huge potential benefits of making multiple healthy lifestyle choices.

Section 12 includes a short summary that recaps the salient points covered in the course and suggests that you start making healthy lifestyle choices one at a time. This section also lists books that I have found particularly useful in understanding the power of healthy lifestyle choices.

Sections 2-10 all begin with a short list of what you’ll learn and near the end have a list of practical ways—action steps—to help you embrace the healthy lifestyle choice discussed in that section. Each section includes three key points that summarize that particular lifestyle choice. Reflecting upon these points can help you embed them firmly in your being. Your subconscious mind will then begin to alert you to opportunities in your life that will help you embrace that lifestyle choice. Finally, each section ends with a list of the scientific studies cited in the text. The more than 500 cited studies validate the effectiveness of these lifestyle choices. You'll find a detailed course Table of Contents in the Rejuvenate Your Life! Curriculum below.




What Benefits Can You Expect

From This Course?


After completing the course, you’ll be equipped to start incorporating healthy lifestyle choices into your everyday life—ideally starting with one lifestyle choice that particularly resonates with you. You’ll understand nine healthy lifestyle choices can rejuvenate your life. Hopefully, you’ll also develop the motivation to take action, because you know that adopting healthy lifestyle choices can help you achieve exceptional aging.

What do I mean by exceptional aging? I’m referring to an older person’s ability to maintain physical and mental function sufficient to engage fully with life, to operate independently with respect to daily activities, to enjoy congenial social relationships, to bounce back from life’s setbacks, and to contribute to society in some way. Or put more succinctly, to have a meaningful life.

You have the power to make better lifestyle choices. In doing so, you can stack the deck in favor of lifelong health and well-being by preventing—or at least postponing—chronic diseases and increasing the likelihood that illness and disability (if they happen at all) won’t occur until your final few years of life. You’ll live better while you’re living longer, thereby extending what I call your Quality of Lifespan—the number of years of life during which you function at a high level.

This graphic presents two hypothetical life trajectories. The vertical axis shows that function increases from 0 to 10 (death to outstanding) from the bottom to the top. The horizontal axis shows that age increases from left to right. Baby boomers in the “business as usual” category can expect to follow the purple trajectory, with greater loss of function starting in middle age and even greater loss of function in older age. Baby boomers who embrace healthy lifestyle choices can expect to follow the green trajectory. In contrast to the “business as usual” category, healthy lifestyle baby boomers typically maintain high functionality until late in life and spend few years with low functionality, reflecting their greater Quality of Lifespan.






Wait a Minute


You may be alarmed to read that the course centers on nine lifestyle choices. Nine may sound like an outrageously large number. How in the world, you might wonder, could you possibly incorporate nine lifestyle choices into your already full life? I suggest that you think of the nine health lifestyle choices as a smorgasbord from which you can pick one choice to get started. One. Not two. Not three. Not nine. One.

My Bonafides


You might wonder if I’m competent of offer Rejuvenate Your Life! Let me explain how I came to develop this course.

A life-threatening accident in 2013 at age 66 on the Pacific Crest Trail in California motivated me to rejuvenate my life. I spent seven years researching ways to boost my physical, mental, and spiritual health by reading books and scientific journal articles relevant to healthy aging. During that time, I synthesized what I learned into the nine healthy lifestyle choices that form the foundation of this course. Importantly, I applied what I learned in my everyday life.

I also field-tested these healthy lifestyle choices under demanding physical, mental, and spiritual conditions during subsequent long-distance hiking and cycling adventures. Since my accident, I’ve have hiked and cycled over 16,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide Trail, and the Pacific Coast, Southern Tier, Northern Tier, and Sierra-Cascades cycling routes. The photo shows me as I completed the Pacific Crest Trail in 2014, a year after my accident. Now at age 76, I expect to continue my long-distance adventures indefinitely. The nine healthy lifestyle choices rejuvenated my life; they can do the same for you.
