How to Live to 100: A cardiologist’s Guide to a Long, Healthy Life
Via Zoom at your leisure
What really determines how long—and how well—we live? In this engaging talk, Dr. Charitakis breaks down the science of longevity into practical, everyday steps anyone can follow. We’ll explore how the heart, blood vessels, metabolism, sleep, movement, and mindset all work together to influence lifespan and healthspan. Using real-world examples and the latest medical evidence, this presentation focuses on what actually matters: staying active at any age, eating for heart health, managing stress, sleeping better, and preventing the most common causes of heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. The goal isn’t just to add years to life—but life to years. Take-home message: small, consistent choices made today can dramatically improve how you feel, function, and thrive well into your 90s—and beyond.
