The Mission of Maya and Methuselah guides readers through a practical and well-researched program that will prepare them for their final fifteen to twenty years of life. Geared to people in their forties and older, the preparation focuses on fitness, functionality, and financial health.

Dr. Karen Humphreys is an engaging, knowledgeable partner on your journey to better health in your senior years. Her rich background in the medical field positions her to speak with credibility on issues surrounding geriatric care, preventative healthcare, financial planning, and even end-of-life care. She takes a holistic approach, balancing physical wellbeing with the need for financial and social health. Dr. Humphreys has witnessed the devastating impact of frailty on individuals and the healthcare system, and she understands that openings in long-term care and assisted living homes won't keep up with the demand over the next twenty years. Now more than ever, it's critical that our aging population remains strong, healthy, and independent.

Full of clear instructions, objective advice, and meaningful encouragement, The Mission of Maya and Methuselah is a must-read for everyone who wants to remain healthy and self-sufficient for as long as possible..
