In news out of Tucson, Arizona, award-winning wellness retreat destination Canyon Ranch has announced the launch of LONGEVITY8. This new program integrates all aspects of human longevity. Powered by modern science, yet inspired by ancient wisdom and human connection.
Lifespan extension through LONGEVITY8
Canyon Ranch has been known as a global innovator and market-maker for destination wellness experiences since back in 1979. The centers offer over 1,500 services and draw from both ancient wisdom and modern technology, using world-class experts to guide their nutrition, health and performance, spa and beauty, fitness, mental health, and spirituality programs.
LONGEVITY8 Canyon Ranch CEO, Mark Rivers, told the media that extending lifespan while improving health span has never been more important.
“Particularly for Generation X. As we age we begin to see our parents living longer, but not necessarily healthier. “
“Only 20-40% of factors that determine lifespan are inherited genetically. This means 60-80% of these elements are trainable and adaptable based on lifestyle adjustments in mind, body, and spirit. This is where the principals of LONGEVITY8 can make a direct impact.”
