“During my 43 years in medical practice, the hardest thing I’ve had to deal with is sitting at a patient’s bedside and seeing how their frailty has depleted them,” says Resilient80s founder Steven C. Fox, D.O.
Helping people avoid that outcome is what Resilient80s is all about. Life expectancy in the U.S. continues to grow, with the exception of a two-year decline during the COVID pandemic. “People today are living longer than previous generations,” Dr. Fox says. “You need to do something about staying healthy.”
Resilient80s’ free functional age test gives people between ages 60 and 90 a starting point. If your functional age is younger than your chronological age, you’re already winning! If the reverse is true, you can take steps to slow or stop your decline—or even reverse your functional age.
“Being older does not have to equal pain and disability,” says Dr. Fox. “Our goal is to help users avoid being disabled or spending time in a nursing home.”
