Atmasvasth

Atmavasth is a documentation of my own journey to learn how to live long, healthy. Over the last 3 years, I have explored every topic that is relevant to our healthspan and lifespan and continue to add to that body of knowledge as and when there is new data or a new published study or new knowledge.

This has resulted in the 15-page guide to live long, healthy, allowing us to create a roadmap to be and remain healthy.

The book, Atmasvasth - A Guide to Ageing Healthfully, published in Oct 2023, contains all this knowledge and also serves as a daily log book. The book and this website are each other's companions, along with the Kindle edition, launched in Feb 2024, available in all Amazon stores worldwide.

Please click here for information about how to buy the book.
