They're not in the business of doing that any more than the guy who runs the car wash is in the business of making me dinner. They're different businesses. So, medicine 3.0 has to come up with a better way to treat chronic disease. And though I won't get into all the details, but I write about it extensively in the book,

You can mathematically prove that the way to treat chronic disease is to delay its onset. Those are mathematically equivalent. So you want to live longer without disease, not live longer with disease. So medicine 2.0 aims to keep you alive longer with chronic disease. Medicine 3.0 says that method will fail. You have to delay the period of time before someone gets a disease.

The second big principle of medicine 3.0 is you have to treat this thing called healthspan as much as you treat lifespan. So lifespan is the thing that I think most people intuitively get is like how long you live, right?

Are you going to, you know, if your parents are still alive, you could say, yeah, my parents are 85 and 80 and hopefully they're going to live another five years and that's their lifespan. But there's this thing called healthspan, which is not as easy to measure, but is more important, which is what's the quality of their life. physically, cognitively, and emotionally.

And so how do you preserve and maximize healthspan? This is another very important principle of Medicine 3.0. Medicine 2.0 does not acknowledge healthspan beyond a very cursory way to describe it. But there's a saying, which I'm sure is true in the military just as it's true in all of medicine and business, what gets measured gets managed. And in medicine 2.0, you manage to lifespan.

That's the metric everybody's focused on. But in medicine 3.0, you have to pay just as much attention to quality of life. And if you manage to that, how much muscle mass do you have? How strong are you? What's your VO2 max? What's your reaction time? What's your cognitive performance? What's the strength of your relationships? That's part of emotional health.

All of those things figure into the quality of your life. And medicine 3.0 says we should be managing to those just as much as we manage to life expectancy.
