Summary

At 61, Eric North is a living example of how resilience, mindset, and movement can help us not just live longer, but live better.

Longevity isn't just about the years we add; it's about the energy, confidence, and joy we bring into them. But many people over 40 face a hidden struggle: not with illness, but with inertia.

0:04.5	that you think about, maybe you've done the past, but forgive yourself and don't live in a place
0:08.9	where there are ghosts haunting you. With the past is the past, you can rebuild and renew, and we

1:28.2	habits. And as you get older, things, things go out, sometimes sometimes go out the window.
1:33.1	I had some, I had some wild years and I had some great years, but mostly what has always held
