Scott Fulton discusses strategies for adding healthy years to life through evidence-based approaches to aging.

Scott Fulton ( whealthspan.com) is a leading voice in the healthspan and positive aging movement—an educator, researcher, author, and longevity innovator redefining what it means to age well. He is the author of two #1 books, WHEALTHSPAN and FUNCTION , which together provide a practical, evidence-based roadmap for living longer, stronger, and more independent lives. Scott’s work draws from massive longitudinal research—spanning tens of millions of Americans over nearly a century—and translates complex aging science into clear, actionable strategies anyone can apply. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at Northwestern University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Delaware, and is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the True Health Initiative. He is the past President of the National Aging in Place Council.

Our discussion bridges science, education, and real-world application - helping individuals and communities rethink what's possible as we age.
