I recently fell down the rabbit hole that is metabolic age. My research culminated in a vacation at Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa in Miami.
Humans hate mortality. In Greece, there’s an island where it’s illegal to die. Meanwhile in the US, average life expectancy has dropped 1.5 years since 2019.
Ironically, while dying of leukemia, he’d commit suicide at the age of 69. The center — which has welcomed guests as young as 8 and as old as 96 — doesn’t take pride in how its founder died. But it does like to point out his autopsy showed he had the arteries of an 18-year-old.“This is what your arteries look like as you age,” said Dr. Makhoul, the cardiologist assigned to me during my stay.
“I saw both of my parents die horrible deaths. I want to die healthy and not have my legs chopped off.”Pritikin is serious about nutrition. Guests enjoy an unlimited low-calorie diet of foods with no added sugar or salt. Saturated fat is frowned upon. When I ask the chef why there are only a few shreds of cheese on my pizza he laughs. “I put it on with tweezers and two dieticians looking over my shoulder.
At some point the lecture turns into a sharing circle with every guest and their mom — many multigenerational families visit Pritikin — chiming in.
