Hope in the StethoscopeThe Art of Living Long and Healthy - Volume 1A Doctor's Journey Through Public Health, Purpose, and the Real Science of LongevityWhen a stethoscope hears more than a heartbeat, it hears a life. In Hope in the Stethoscope, Dr. Priyanka Mohol, longevity researcher, clinician, and fieldworker, takes readers off the page and into mobile clinics, temple courtyards, orphanages, ICUs, and pilgrim routes. Combining hard-earned field stories with modern longevity science and time-tested traditional wisdom, this first volume of The Art of Living Long and Healthy asks a vital question: what actually adds life to years?Inside you'll find: Gritty, intimate narratives from public-health camps, the Waari pilgrimage, and grassroots clinics that reveal how connection, purpose, and simple acts of service protect health as surely as any pill.Clear explanations of the science behind healthspan (not just lifespan), epigenetics, preventive care, and lifestyle medicine translated into relatable, actionable steps.Practical, low-cost interventions readers can use today: health checks worth prioritizing, simple community-based practices that reduce chronic disease risk, and habits that build resilience across decades.A humane argument backed by research that volunteering, social bonds, and purposeful living are powerful, evidence-based tools for longer, better lives.Why this book matters now: readers and consumers are shifting from "anti-aging" fads toward real, evidence-based strategies that extend healthspan, the years lived well, and want practical guidance, culturally aware, and free of hype. Industry reports and consumer research show this healthspan-first conversation as one of 2025's dominant wellness trends.
