Healthspan vs. Lifespan: What’s More Important?

Healthspan vs. Lifespan: What’s More Important? In today’s world, we’re living longer than ever before—but are we living better? That’s the powerful question at the heart of a recent episode of Discover Rising Tides, featuring host Jeanne Gallagher and special guest Denise Stegall International best selling author of Healthy Living, Happy Life

Rather than focusing on lifespan—the total number of years we live—Denise and Jeanne explore the concept of healthspan: the number of years we live in good health, free from chronic disease and full of vitality.

Denise emphasizes that wellness isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it’s about combining physical health, emotional balance, and a strong connection to nature. “The outdoors really does something magical for our mindset,” says Jeanne, as the two discuss how spending time in nature boosts mental clarity, reduces stress, and contributes to long-term wellbeing.

They also share tips on how anyone—regardless of age or fitness level—can begin improving their healthspan today. From simple dietary shifts to the importance of hydration and mindset, Denise outlines how intentional choices make a real difference.

The conversation is heartfelt, empowering, and filled with relatable insights. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to wait for a health scare to start taking care of yourself. Your best life can begin now—with small, sustainable changes.

If you’re ready to feel inspired, empowered, and equipped to live better—not just longer—this episode is a must-listen.
