I am excited to see Dr. Karina Loyo’s book capture eloquently the need for both health and wellness teams as part of the overall longevity planning strategy. She includes the most critical information that is needed to help the reader understand the ecosystem within which aging occurs. I truly believe this is an excellent resource for all of us.

While we wish aging and preparing for a long, healthy life would be carefree and easy, we often find it is not so simple. As a family physician, who takes care of patients of all ages and stages, I see preparation as critical for a healthy life that goes well into old age.

I highly recommend Dr. Loyo’s book as a manual on how to approach aging. The shear vast array of topics touched on in this book is incredible and the wealth of knowledge makes aging more joyful in every aspect. Please do not miss out on all you can learn at an important time in your life or the life of your loved one.

You address the whole ecosystem within which aging occurs with a focus on preserving health and financial resources, developing a strong social support network, assembling a health and wellness team, as well as an asset protection team. More importantly though, you provide them with information and reflective questions to explore their personal plan to deal with a crisis situation and how to overcome it. Your resources are invaluable.
