At 61, Eric North is a living example of how resilience, mindset, and movement can help us not just live longer, but live better.

Longevity isn't just about the years we add; it's about the energy, confidence, and joy we bring into them. But many people over 40 face a hidden struggle: not with illness, but with inertia.
