We need to, and already are aiming beyond our youthful peak. "Peakspan" still falls short of defining the increasingly transhumanist future, and does not even clearly supercede healthspan as it is popularly - if imprecisely - understood. Why bother with a new word that adds so little? Maybe you could redefine it in your next paper to be something greater than partial restoration of best-to-date? ...Or maybe just get back to creating the means by which we will achieve superhumanity.

I do agree (and more than agree) that is why I do mention functional augmentation (e.g. restoration of eyesight with retinal implants that go beyond just simply returning function). But when it comes to geroscience, even I need to be within the bounds of credible at this time.

How about designing ways to stop the loss of the peak span? The human body is a perfect system designed to function at peak span for ever. It is the way of life that our societies induce that provoques de functional decay. Humans get lost in ambitious ideals of power and forget the power within.

There is no drug that can fix the body and spirit disregulation caused by the preset way of life. Only aligning circadian clocks, changing limits beliefs and recovering interoception may the person put back in health mode their life

I am interested to know if your company will collaborate with longevity clinics all over the world to create a world map of healthspan biomarkers. This would help map what each region actually requires the most(?), obviously personalised medicine would be the best way to improve the healthspan of an individual.
