What if the goal isn't simply to live longer, but to stay healthier for longer?

In this episode of Road to Resilience, host Stephen Calabria sits down with Daniel Puleston, Assistant Professor of Immunology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, to explore the emerging science of healthspan: the number of years we remain healthy, active, and resilient throughout our lives.

Together, they examine the biological processes that shape aging, including immune function, chronic inflammation, metabolism, and cellular resilience. Dr. Puleston explains why the gap between lifespan and health span has become one of modern medicine's most important challenges, and why habits such as exercise, sleep, nutrition, and stress management remain some of the most powerful tools available for preserving long-term health.

Whether you're thinking about aging for the first time or looking for practical ways to invest in your future health, this episode offers an engaging look at what science is revealing about living not just longer, but better.
