I'm excited that our Retirement Medicine™ program was featured on the prestigious Retirement Wisdom Podcast! Joe Casey and I discussed how family offices, dentists, pilots, and founders after the exit can enjoy a great next chapter. Here are the four pillars:

🏋️ Health - The foundation of it all. You need strength, vitality, and mental clarity to make everything else possible
🤗 Relationships - Invest in genuine relationships now. They're just as important as your portfolio
🎾 Fun & Adventure - Taking that one big trip and then languishing away in front of the TV or YouTube won't cut it
🙏 Purpose & Meaning - You need a reason (or three!) to get out of bed in the morning. Want to start a new career, volunteer, launch a charity, or write a novel? Let's make it happen!

The four critical mistakes airline pilots make before retiring at 65, and what you should do now. And no, we're not talking about money.

How healthy will you be when you retire? How to peer into your medical future:

💪 Grip Strength: So easy to test! Grip strength is a great predictor of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and stroke. Test it with a quality handgrip dynamometer that you can find on Amazon

👟 Walking Speed: The faster you can walk, the lower your risk of mortality. Test it by measuring out 4 meters and having someone time how long it takes you to walk that far at your usual pace. The faster, the better.

💉 Lab Tests: Ask your doctor about a complete cholesterol panel (not just LDL level), fasting insulin, fasting glucose, hs-CRP, and HbA1c levels. Consider genetic testing like ApoE for Alzheimer's disease risk.

🩵 Deep Social Connections: Seriously, meaningful social relationships keep you healthy. Those with deep social connections appear to have lower mortality and a reduced risk of heart disease and Alzheimer's.

Longevity evaluations are all part of a proper Retirement Medicine Program. You want to know how long you're likely to live, and what you can do to enjoy a happier, healthier, and adventurous retirement.

"Longevity isn't immortality. Plan accordingly"
- Dr. Gregory Charlop

Let me be philosophical for a moment. As someone who helps family offices, dentists, and airline pilots with longevity and retirement medicine, I appreciate a long, healthy life.

But that's not enough. We must enjoy our limited time on this Earth. Have fun with your friends, travel, be adventurous, learn, grow, and help others. It isn't just about the length of life, but the quality.

The world is growing more fragmented and precarious. Consider these recent, dangerous dilemmas:

🔥 Violent student protests in France. Support them, crush them, or wait it out?
🤖 The rise of super-intelligent AGI. Encourage rapid growth or slow it down?
🖥️ The AI trade dominating the American stock market. Lean in or hedge?
🪖 The Iran war. Strike a deal, restart kinetic activity, or pursue economic strangulation?
🏦 Family offices and RIAs vs. AI. How can advisors stay relevant when computers can manage portfolios?
🎓 Education for an AI-powered future. How do we equip students to succeed when we don't know what skills (or careers) we'll need in the next decade?
🚀 NATO vs. Russia. Should Western Europe massively increase defense spending, start conscription, and prepare society for war now, or take a more measured approach?
💊 AI and medicine. Should doctors and patients lean into AI, or are we tarnishing the human side of healthcare without a proven benefit?

As a rare physician decision-making expert who supports family offices and the defense industry, I deal with this type of issue daily. For most of the world's growing crises, there are no easy answers. Yet, choosing wisely is more vital than ever.

Have questions? Corsica Military Solutions helps executives and defense officials manage high-stakes decisions in uncertainty.

Did you read yesterday's WSJ piece about the billionaire Kirsh Family Office? They're taking applications for financial advisors, etc. More wealthy entrepreneurs, young and old, are starting single-family offices (SFOs).

Regrettably, the WSJ piece only hints at the real and enduring value of family offices, and it ain't money management. The best SFOs take a one-stop shop approach. Modern holistic single-family offices are lifestyle managers:

🛫 Travel
💊 Health & Wellness
🏠 Household Management
⏳ Longevity
🏔️ Fun & Adventure
🌴 Retirement Planning

If SFOs exclusively focus on money and taxes, you're leaving value on the table.

Following the sale of Jetro Restaurant Depot to Sysco, the Kirsh family is recruiting senior investors to guide an expanded New York family office.

The Apple Watch and the Illusion of Control

The must-have accessories of 2026 aren’t necklaces or designer handbags. Instead, everyone is clamoring for fitness trackers like the Apple Watch, Google Fitbit, and Oura Ring. Remarkably, roughly half of US adults own at least one wearable tracker.

These devices have evolved from:
Measurement (good) ➡️
Assessment (be cautious) ➡️
AI-generated Recommendations (be very cautious) ⚠️

They are impressive at measuring vital signs. They’re not nearly as good at assessment or recommendations. For example, most wearables are inconsistent at determining sleep stages (light vs. deep vs. REM)

Worse, because these trackers give us an endless stream of numbers, they create the illusion of precision. When our device proudly tells us we got 65 minutes of REM sleep last night, we’re more likely to trust it because the number feels so precise. But in truth, our REM time might have been anywhere from 50 to 90 minutes, and we’d never know. When we skip the gym because our readiness score is 21, we have no idea if that’s the right call.

In my work as a family office Chief Wellness Officer (CWO) and longevity physician, I recommend using wearables (paired with labs and other tests) to run mini self-experiments. That unlocks the real value in longevity care: personalization.

We must understand these devices’ limitations.

📊 Device precision leads to overtrusting (and potentially overfitting) the data.

❓ The lack of long-term studies means we don’t know the consequences (if any) of a sleep or readiness score.

🏆 Trackers should be combined with subjective data (how do you feel?) and objective outside data like labs and exercise performance.

🩺 Medical oversight can turn raw numbers into actionable insights.

🌬️ We can do everything “right,” and still have poor outcomes. Don’t obsess. We can’t control the future.

Longevity Isn't Immortality. Plan accordingly.
As a family office Chief Wellness Officer (CWO) and longevity physician, I must share the hard truth. Regardless of scientific advances and biohacking wishful thinking, immortality isn't and will never be in the cards.

If we're lucky, AI, pills, potions, exercise, sleep, peptides, etc., will grant us longer life and a lower risk of cancer or heart disease. Maybe another 10, 20, even 30 years. That's great. But it ain't forever.

The best-case scenario is "biological immortality," where aging is negligible but we're still at risk for trauma, disease, or poison.

What does all this mean? Eat healthy food, sleep, and exercise.

Just as importantly, live well. Have friends. Be kind to others. Travel. Find adventure. Seek purpose. Learn. Discover. Grow. Make a difference and find your peace.

Even the tortoise doesn't live forever.
