Healthy Wealthy Longevity: The Good Things In Life For As Long As Possible by Jon Sabes
Wellbeing Continuums: Directional, Physical, Material, Spiritual, Mental
A few years ago, I sat with a client who had, by every external measure, "made it." A growing business. A beautiful home. Retirement accounts that would make most people jealous. Yet as we dug into our conversation, his struggle could be shared in one sentence:
I have money, but I don’t feel wealthy.
That moment stuck with me. Because it’s a conversation I’ve had, in one form or another, with dozens of high achievers. They have wealth - but they’re starving for well-being.
This is why, when I talk about the Wellbeing Continuums - directional, spiritual, physical, mental, social, vocational, material, and spatial - I make a clear distinction: wealth is not just money. Wealth is your capacity to feel abundant across every dimension of your life.
Enter Healthy Wealthy Longevity by Jon Sabes.
Jon Sabes takes the conversation beyond income statements and investment portfolios. He weaves together the science of longevity, the art of financial stewardship, and the deeper quest for meaning - creating a framework that mirrors the very model I use with my clients.
At the heart of Sabes’ approach is the understanding that true wealth is inseparable from your health and your longevity. He introduces what he calls the Longevity Factor - a dynamic interplay of biology (like epigenetics and cellular aging), environment (your relationships, behaviors, and surroundings), and mindset (your beliefs, goals, and purpose).
Sabes draws from the world’s longest-living populations, the Blue Zones, and layers in cutting-edge science on how our daily habits, environment, and mental frameworks shape not just how long we live, but how well we live.
What stood out to me was how deeply this mirrors my coaching philosophy:
Direction without health eventually leads to burnout.
Health without direction often feels empty.
And neither matter much if you're disconnected from purpose, people, or place.
Rather than dishing out prescriptive checklists, Sabes offers insights for integrating these dimensions into a life of sustained abundance…one rooted in both evidence and wisdom.
Takeaways
Health and Wealth Are Interdependent
Your financial resources enable access to better healthcare, lifestyle options, and stress reduction. But no amount of money can replace proactive health stewardship.
Epigenetics and Lifestyle Matter More Than You Think
Sabes dives into the emerging science of epigenetics, explaining how your behaviors influence gene expression — empowering you to actively shape your aging process.
Environment is a Secret Multiplier
Where you live, who you surround yourself with, and the small daily decisions you make all add up — for better or worse.
Mindset Drives Long-Term Fulfillment
Longevity isn’t just about surviving longer - it’s about thriving with purpose, meaning, and contribution.
