About the Book

At the age of forty, I set myself a simple challenge: to be healthier as I aged, instead of the other way around. It started out easily enough but got progressively more difficult over time. The main problem? With every year that passes, the body ages at an increasingly faster pace, which meant I had to start to learn a lot more about ways to slow down this destructive process. Everything was going smoothly until a motorcycle accident in 2018 forced me to leave my career and put my life on hold. This time away from work along with the isolation of the Covid pandemic gave me the time needed to work on more in depth self-healing techniques. He developed twelve ways to do this, now known as the twelve spokes. 

The Age Gauge uses the twelve spokes of the wheel of life to show you how we can live longer and healthier lives. For 99.9% of human history, our ancestors thrived in an environment with many sources of adversity. For this reason, adversity is baked into our human cells through our longevity genes. Science shows that when we expose ourselves to the many sources of adversity, we stimulate our longevity genes and live longer and healthier. Unfortunately, we are doing the opposite, moving more and more towards a life filled with many modern-day conveniences. This is the opposite of adversity. 

The universe around us provides all the hints we need to be healthy, we just need to open our minds. In this book, you’ll learn about what keeps us healthy and what makes us sick, and see the path we are currently on, which is at a breaking point from a global health perspective. 

I urge you to wake up to the self-destructive path we’re on. Learn how to accomplish goals like losing weight, moving your body more, having less stress, getting outdoors, connecting with Mother Earth, overcoming addictions, learning about nutrition, getting healthy and staying healthy. No matter how far you are off track in your life (addictions, stress, overweight, mental issues), there is a way to come back to the way we, as a human race, thrive best.
