My Books
What I’m Learning From My Books
I like reading about longevity because that is really my goal. I want to stay strong, well and capable for as long as I can. I’m drawn to books that help me understand what supports healthy ageing and what might help me build a better next 30 years.
I don’t expect every book or article to have the answer. I like comparing different ideas and seeing what makes sense to me. What I find encouraging is how often the same themes and strategies come up again and again across different books — it makes me feel that there really are some solid foundations for living well for longer.
Some things I read change what I do straight away, while other ideas sit with me for a while before I decide what I think. I want to keep learning, questioning and trying things, because I’m interested in what might genuinely help me stay healthier and live well for longer.
Books I’m Reading & Have Read
Outlive
Dr Peter Attia and Bill Gifford
This was the book that really started the journey for me. What stayed with me most was the idea of Medicine 2.0 versus Medicine 3.0 — not just treating disease when it appears, but thinking much earlier about prevention and the future version of ourselves. The Four Horsemen gave me a clearer picture of the big health risks I want to reduce, and the Centenarian Decathlon really clicked with me. We train today for the life we want later. I lift heavy now because I want to still be strong, capable and independent in the next 30 years.
Good Energy
Dr Casey Means with Calley Means
This book helped me connect a lot of things I had been thinking about separately — blood sugar, metabolic health, food, movement, sleep and energy. What really stayed with me was the idea that so many of the choices we make every day affect what is happening inside our cells. It made me think more about metabolic health as something I can influence, not just something I get tested for once a year.
The Path to Longevity
Professor Luigi Fontana
What stayed with me most was the focus on healthspan, not just lifespan. True longevity is not about one magic fix — it comes from several things working together: good nutrition, regular exercise, keeping the brain active and maintaining strong social connections. That multi-pillar approach really makes sense to me, because it reflects the kind of life I’m trying to build for the next 30 years.
