What does it really mean to age well—and to keep doing what matters most for as long as possible?

In this episode of The Well-Being Manifesto Podcast, hosts Dr. Moain Abu Dabrh and Dr. David Freeman are joined by Professor Scott Fulton, physician-scientist and author of Wealthspan and Function, for a powerful conversation on function, healthspan, and longevity.

Rather than focusing solely on lifespan, lab values, or biohacking trends, this episode explores a more human and practical question: Are we maintaining the ability to live fully, move confidently, think clearly, and stay engaged with life as we age?

You'll learn:

• The difference between lifespan, healthspan, and longevity

• Why function may be the most meaningful marker of long-term health

• How simple measures like walking speed, balance, strength, and cognition predict future outcomes better than many tests

• What functional age is and how it can change

• Why capability, not optimization, supports resilience and independence

• Practical ways to improve function without buying gadgets or chasing extremes

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in healthy aging, evidence-based wellness, preventive medicine, whole person care, and sustainable longevity—with less hype and more truth.
