Health & Longevity
This assessment invites participants to examine their relationship with their physical health and their vision for their body and vitality over the next 30 years. Health is often the first thing sacrificed in service of wealth or achievement, yet it's the foundation for everything else. Use this guide to help participants make conscious choices about their health investments.
PROMPT 1
Do you invest in your health with the same intentionality you invest in your wealth?
This is a values alignment question. Many high-achievers invest significant time, attention, and money into growing wealth but treat health like an afterthought. Listen for the story beneath the answer. Some people will acknowledge the imbalance immediately; others will get defensive. Don't judge—just hold up the mirror. Ask: "If your financial advisor made recommendations as rarely as you see a doctor, what would happen to your wealth?" That often crystallizes the point.
PROMPT 2
What health decision have you been postponing, and what's really behind the delay?
People postpone health decisions for real reasons: cost, inconvenience, fear of bad news, not knowing where to start. Let them name the postponed decision first, then dig into the barrier. Is it practical? Emotional? Informational? Once you understand the real obstacle, ask: "What would need to be true for you to do this?" Sometimes there's a creative solution they haven't considered. Sometimes they need permission to prioritize themselves.
PROMPT 3
How do you think about the next 30 years of your physical life?
This is a futures question. Some people have thought deeply about this; others have never framed it this way. Listen for whether they're thinking reactively (I'll worry about health when I'm older) or proactively (I'm making choices now that compound over 30 years). Ask them to paint a picture: at 85, what do you want to be able to do? Play with grandkids? Travel? Be independent? Walk a trail? Their answer reveals what matters. Then ask: "What does your current health trajectory allow for?" That gap is the real conversation.
PROMPT 4
What's one health habit that has transformed your energy or clarity?
This is a positive, evidence-based question. People know what works for them—better sleep, exercise, nutrition, meditation, etc. Once they name the habit and the transformation it created, ask: "How often are you doing this now?" Often people abandon habits that work because they stop seeing them as urgent. Help them see that maintaining transformational habits is an investment worth protecting.
PROMPT 5
If your doctor gave you a brutally honest assessment, what would they say you're neglecting?
This is a reality check. Most people know what they're neglecting—sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, preventive care. The question lets them voice it without blame. Once they say it out loud, ask: "And if you don't address that, what happens?" Then: "What's one step you could take this week?" Small wins matter. Make this concrete and actionable, not vague.
Tips for the Moderator
- Health can feel personal and vulnerable. Create space for people to be honest without judgment about what they're struggling with.
- Avoid giving medical or fitness advice. Your role is to help them think more clearly about their own health priorities, not to prescribe solutions.
- Many people feel guilty about their health choices. Guilt rarely leads to change—clarity and self-compassion do. Help them move from guilt to intentionality.
- Health investments compound. Someone might not feel the benefit of exercise this week, but three years from now it's enormous. Help people think in decades, not days.
- Some health issues are complex (chronic illness, mental health, addiction). Be respectful of that complexity and encourage professional support when needed.
- End by asking: "What's one health commitment you want to make or recommit to?" and "How will you know you're following through?" Accountability and metrics matter.
