In medical school I had been taught that good eating and “weight management” is nothing more than a question of calories in, calories out. All I had to do was point out to my patients that if their relationship with food was bad, they could just eat more salad and lay off the cake while exercising more, and voilà, they’d lose weight. One of my medical school professors stated it matter-of-factly, as if it were one of Newton’s laws of motion. Follow the formula and the results were guaranteed. My patients didn’t need a juicer or an elaborate meal plan. They didn’t even need me. They needed a calculator.

At a certain point, the decline begins to steepen. Eventually, sometime around age seventy or seventy-five, give or take, your cognitive and physical capacities will diminish to roughly their halfway point (represented by the horizontal dotted line), which I sort of arbitrarily define as the point below which you are no longer able to do the things that you want to do with ease. You’re constrained, and bad stuff starts to happen more frequently and with greater consequence. It’s one thing to break your femur in a skiing accident when you’re forty and still strong and resilient; it’s quite another to break it falling off a curb when you’re seventy-five and functioning at 25 percent of your capacity. At the same time, your own risk of chronic disease is rising exponentially.
